JW Marriott Desert Springs Resort and Spa

Very disappointed with the condition of the fairways and bunkers. I have played this course numerous times over the years although it had been a few years. The fairways were all clumpy grass and there wasn't a good bunker on the course. All were wet and hardpacked with little to no sand in them. It is summer and hot but I played two other courses this week with great fairway grass.

pace of play was unacceptable. Had to skip a hole to get ahead of two groups that were holding everyone up. No marshal to speed things along. Dead fish in the water stinking to high heaven. Always liked this course but not too sure now.

This course has its fair share of hills and water hazards throughout your 18 holes also number 9 and number 10 are back to back par fives which is a cool combo. I’ll play here again.

Played the Desert Springs Valley Course for the first time. Course was in good shape, considering the latest heat wave we had. Fairways were good, rough was decent, greens were better than I expected, a couple errant bounces but overall good, sand traps were firm. My only real grip is that they could give you a couple of bottles of water in the cooler, Over all golf experience give it a 7

Played the Palm Course for the first time, actually I live right down the street and pass this course all the time, so this course has been on my list to play for awhile, plus I waited for the summer rates to kick in. I thought the course was in good shape, especially with all the extreme heat the valley has had over the past couple weeks. I have played a lot of summer golf, I fully expect the fairways and greens to not be at their peak. The greens were fair, I had good roll on my putts with just a few bumps and bounces, to be expected. The fairways were in decent shape, the winter grass is slowing dying off, but I had no issues to speak of. My real only grip, not the courses fault, was the slow playin front of me. I started my round 2pm and I had a good 20 min between the last two sum to tee off, by the third hole a three sun and a pair of two sums all bunched together, I just turned around and replayed holes 2 & 3 again to give me some space, since nobody as behind me. My overall course experience was good, just bring plenty of water, they give you a cooler with ice but no bottle waters, why I don’t know.

Great staff

Had great fun and laughter. The course was in great shape. The layout and tee selection made it a fun and challenging round. I will definitely play this one again on my next visit. Keep up the good work.

The course was in fantastic condition. We played it twice during our stay.

excellent conditions considering the water shortage.
