Ritz-Carlton Rancho Mirage

Played a lot of courses I the Coachella Valley and te Desert Springs Palm course was one of the most exciting to play.

Above average course, but priced as a premium course. Needed marshals as pace was 4:45. Minimal service on and off course. The fairways and greens were good, but again, not at the top level. Cancelled a second round to play PGA west Norman course at same price.

Not an easy course, some long carries over water. Two par 3s are long and the course has some deep bunkers. Some great restaurants to eat at but they were busy due to a large convention. I plan to play the other 18 hole course next, Palm course. My handicap is 15 and my wife is 26.

Staff, weather, course and amenities were all awesome & would highly recommend the Marriott Hotel & Golf facilities to family and friends

The course has holes you'll never see anywhere else. Water features along with flamingos. Takes a bit to figure out how to check in but if you're staying there you have to eat dinner there. Many two teared greens and fairways with lots of hills. We played 5 other courses in the area and this ranks as top on my list.

I think the green fees of $239.00 is highly overpriced for what the course conditions. Is in. The green side bunkers was very hard due to over watering. Feels more like dirt rather than sand. The greens had burnt area and bumpy. However, the layout is very nice and challenging. The staffs are accommodating. The Pro Shop are smaller than most golf resorts in Palm Springs/Deserts area.

Very enjoyable track. Straight forward, Great par threes.

Lucky enough to play as a twosome…maybe because it was Palm Sunday?

Greens were a bit sticky/slower than the course we played before.

Would definitely play there again, perhaps the other course..or both.

Course was in great condition but very hot and not much shade. Greens were hard to figure out with the Bermuda creeping in. Staff were great . Some challenging hole The final hole was beautiful

We had a great day up until the 15th hole. Pace of play was excellent and the course was in very good condition. Loved it. Unfortunately, on the 15th hole there was a foursome that was very slow as there was a young boy learning to golf. While I fully support this. It was clear that this could’ve possibly been his first time golfing. Perhaps a course marshal would have been able to help with pace of play as a simple set of instructions for this family may have been quite helpful. For example, for this child to tee it up from even the red tea boxes was completely unreasonable. As a very novice junior golfer, they should be tee off way down the fairway and close to the green to make things more fair. In any event, without a marshal, we were left sitting there for over 20 minutes on a short part three. The group behind us drove up and parked on the actual tee box which was in the shade. I could not believe it. This person chipped at me and told me he didn’t want to park in the hot sun. We decided to skip a hole, which was no big deal and just drove around the group in front of us. A marshal may have been able to help avoid all of this.

Overall, it was a very good experience and we are going back tomorrow!
