Great golf course

First time playing this course. It was in very good shape. Pace was a slow (4h45min). Layout is beautiful. Course is challenging but fair. Greens were very slow. Many tees were on uneven ground. Would play here again.

Palm desert Marriott palms

I’m a 15 handicap, made a big mistake and played the blue tees. Yardage doesn’t reflect the difficulty of the elevated greens. An extra club or more required on approach shots. Several holes with hidden water from tee. Check the gps frequently! Score.card didn’t have a course layout. Needed signs for next tee box in a few areas. Play the white tee next time.

Great track. Slow pace of play

As the title says. Played a little later in the day and pace of play was aweful. Had 4 jokers in front of us who didn’t seem to care if they got their round in. Absolutely not the courses fault but be warned that being a resort course my bring out the riff raff.

Showed up early to hit balls. Range is closed and the course wasn’t in the best condition, wish they had that noted when we booked.

Good solid course...

First time to play at this property (normally play courses in La Quinta). Good solid course, friendly staff and amenities are great! Overall the course was in good shape for September, although there were a couple of rough spots. Will definitely play here again.

The most remote Pro Shop from the Bag Drop

Not a great start.
No-one at Bag Drop. So I carried 2 golf bags (my wife and mine) up 2 flights of outside concrete stairs, then along a corridor to the Pro Shop. After paying, had to then lug them DOWN another 2 flights to get to the carts. Who designed this nonsense. When I commented to the cart guy, his response was "don't beef at me on minimum wage". He then said "There's a sign with a number to call". That's fine if you have a USA cellphone. But we are from the UK! As a long-time Marriott Elite meber this is the second time in California in 2 weeks I've experienced less than MArriott-standard responses.
Very disappointed. May not use this course again. Sort out your logistics.

Course Review

Enjoyed playing this course. Considering the time of year in the desert the course was in good condition. The staff was kind and courteous. As a twosome we played in just over three hours. We’d recommend this course.
