Ritz-Carlton Rancho Mirage

Layout of course was interesting but course condition appalling. This was only course I didn’t read reviews for since it’s a marriot I figured it would be great, big mistake all the reviews were right on, sad bunkers spotty fairways and probably worst greens I’ve ever played! Went to a &40 muni on way to airport and greens were stunning. Stay away overpriced waste of time

Played both JW Marriott Desert Springs courses, Palms and Valley, over the years. Their green fees have rocketed to the point that they have priced out the average golfer. The really sad thing is that the course we played, Valley, was in the worst shape we've seen in years. Greens were very spotty and very bumpy. Fairways were just, OK. Compared to the many other courses we've played in the Coachella valley, with much more reasonable green fees, I would not recommend playing here to anyone.

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!
