JW Marriott Desert Springs Resort and Spa

The Greens are horrendous!! There's no point playing golf if the putting surface is like a stucco, Most greens are 25 % dead and some are up to 50% . Bunkers are inconsistent, rock hard and soft in the same bunker. Play other courses to play actual golf.

The starter at JW Marriott Desert Springs was hands down the best I’ve ever encountered. Incredibly friendly and attentive, he went out of his way to ensure we had food and drinks before our round, even with a long line. His exceptional service truly elevated our experience, and I just want to make sure he gets the recognition he deserves!

The Golf course was in excellent condition. Good shots were rewarded with a fair

placement for your next swing. Fairways have some great mogels for challenging efforts to the green. Greens were a stent or two slower than the other courses I've played in the valley. It was a very enjoyable afternoon.

Greens in terror shape, extremely bumpy. Staff not overly friendly. Like we were doing them a favor to play. Simply questions were responded to with attitude. Bunkers need to be flated out. Way to steep especially near greens. Fairways were blotchy. This we not be a top choice for me if I came again.

Nice course layout, but terrible greens and bunkers. Obviously they figure that the tee sheet is full, so why spend money on the greens, etc.

This course is always in great shape and enjoyable to play.

Some beautiful holes. Loads of water. Way more hills than I was expecting. Greens not as good as you would hope.

Played in 4 hours which is good for resort course. Good condition for winter grasses.

On a par 4 with water about 125 yards to 80 yards in front of the green and a very steep uphill slope past the water to the green, they cut the rough so short on the hill that even though I purposely hit into the rough 50 yards past the water, my ball rolled all the way down the hill and into the water.

This is not a "resort course" like condition! maybe appropriate for a PGA event, but certainly not for a resort course! Especially not fun when it was $229 for a round that should have been about $75 to $100!!!

I have been curious to play this course for years. Having many experiences at this resort when I was a child. Needless to say I was not impressed, a serious lack of amenities, rough around the edges and no vibe.

Beautiful course in decline. Greens in terrible shape. Cannot beat the natural beauty of water features, but totally disappointing.compared to two years ago when I remember it as velvet.

Valley course used to be one of our favorites. I was very disappointed to find the greens were in poor shape and the bunkers were a disgrace. When you couple that with a ridiculously overpriceed green fee, I'm sorry to say I won't be back!

The course was not very busy but the pace of play was not great. Some singles or couples sandwiched in between some really slow foursomes. The course conditions were average (turf in some bunkers, sand was inconsistent, fairways in decent to good shape), but several of the greens were really in poor condition. The staff was great so that’s a positive aspect. I paid the discount rate but feel like that was too much for the condition and the quality of other courses in the area.

The course is in great condition. The last few holes will make you cry if you get careless.
