Ritz-Carlton Rancho Mirage

The starter at this course was fantastic and was probably a big part of the reason the pace of play was so good. He should teach a course on how to be a starter, he was excellent . I was paired with a twosome, we teed at 12 and we’re finished at 3:30. The course was in good shape, greens were OK , a good speed for resort golf.

I will definitely play here again

Worst course I all of the Coachella Valley and perhaps the worst service ever experienced in 30+ years of playing golf in the desert!

They have ZERO golf etiquette and could care less about your safety after they take your money! No course marshals and allow people to wear tee shirts and jeans. So not worth the price they charge and staff is lazy as well. Plenty of other much better options and no need to expose yourself to their lack of service. 5 hour plus round, beginners playing from the blues and no one to tell them different. Saw someone get assaulted on the course, had his putter thrown by the bully from the group ahead of him and no security to assist the gentleman. Pathetic all around and a stay away from place. Lack of management and terrible staff. Nine golfers run this place and care about the pricey resort only!

This is one of my favorite courses to play. I gave an overall rating of 4 stars instead of 5, because we played Classic Club a day earlier, and they include a $25.00 food drink coupon per player and they gave us each a souvenir golf towel. Palms at Marriott does not give these little amenities and Palm at Marriott was more expensive than Classic Club.

First time playing the Valley course and I picked up a solo spot on special through Tee Off. Range was a little small and packed so the practice area is just okay. Had a 12:30 Monday tee time and no one in front of us and finished the round in 4 hours. Lots of undulation but overall a fun course and generous fairways. I would play it again if there was an another deal on Tee Off.

Course could not be in better shape. Greens were tough but true....staff super friendly and helpful. Food options could be better but that's another subject.

This is a well maintained course, and well priced for the area, but not very forgiving or pleasurable for vacation golf. It’s almost impossible to find a flat lie, too many blind shots, and too often a great drive is not rewarded because of the hilliness of the fairways. There are also an inordinate number of traps around many of the greens. It’s not awful but, when I hit, say, 11 of 14 fairways but still find myself with a downhill, uphill, or sidehill, approach shot on the majority it feels too gimmicky. I kind of expect that in certain parts of the country but generally not desert. Nice staff, good condition, nice greens.

Attractive course, somewhat difficult for me. Well maintained.

Starter moved me to the Valley course, maki g room for a collegiate practice round on the Palms. I appreciated their mindfulness of our remaining daylight hours, but the Valley course seemed underwhelming, even from the back tees. The timeshare hecklers were an added bonus.
