Valley at Marriott

Course was in great shape for the weather. at this time of year, you can't expect perfect greens and fairways. That being said, it was very playable, we played it twice, always enjoy this facility. Staff was extremely friendly and helpful.

Nice but ………

Course is beautiful but difficult. However, the pace of play and overall experience was affected by a nasty foursome in front of us. Ther were loud and discourteous and played numerous balls per person, greatly slowing the pace of play. And when one our shots came within 50 yards of them because of an unintended slice, instead of gracefully accepting our apologies, they intentionally hit our ball into the water.

Until we passed them by skipping two holes, we were stuck behind them and had to suffer through their antics.

Rolling Fairways

Nice challenging and fun course. Not too long, but made more difficult by the typical Ted Robinson rolling hills and valleys along with several blind tee shots. If you miss the proper landing area you're gonna have a tough lie. The greens are in excellent condition, but greenside bunkers are very deep with steep walls, which is difficult enough, but there's basically no sand in them, rather hard pan sandy dirt. Several lakes, but water is not really in play all that often. The hotel and resort grounds are spectacular.

Marriotts Valley Course

My wife and I enjoyed the Valley Course. With the very hot weather, the greens were a little slow, but they were consistent, hard to ask for more in over 100 degree weather. The course was challenging and a great value for the money. Definitely will play it again during our stay

Palms at Marriott

WE have played this course a few times and always happy to return. I love the layout, the course is in great shape, especially considering over 100 degree weather. I would recommend this course and we will play it again.

Not Enough Water

Course was in nice shape considering the hot weather. Greens were fair and in good shape and fairways were nice.

The biggest gripe was lack of water on the course. Playing in 40C weather and no water in the golf cart and WARM water in the water machines on the course. Not very good at all. The $16.00 caesar wrap at the snack shack was a bit extreme as well. Didn't really like the loud music and the guy yelling into the speakers at the hotel pool either but not sure what you can do about that. Starter and driving range guys were friendly. Glad I paid a low green fee or would have been more disappointed.
