Good Layout & Picturesque

This course has a nice layout, but tired. The greens were slow and very little sand in the traps, along with some bare spots around the greens. Considering the price, it wasn’t a good value. But since we’re from New Hampshire and hadn’t played in 5 months, it was fun.

The pace of play was very good, we played 18 in 3:40, which I thought was very good considering it was at the JW Narriott resort

Not worth the money

We waited every shot, quit after no. 11.
Had planned to have cocktails and dinner, but after our Pro Shop experience followed by waiting to play each shot, we decided to go elsewhere.
The person checking us in, the person we paid was not informative nor did he wish to be.
“Just go downstairs.” We asked a couple questions, and that’s what we were told. Needless to say, the clothing items that tempted me were no longer of any interest to me.
Just a bad choice for our round I guess. And an expensive mistake.
I would not recommend this course over any one of the many choices around the area. No one looked like they were having fun.

Beautiful course and fun

This course was very fun to play and beautiful. Green speed was slow probably due to the late over-seeding this year. Played as a three-some group with a tee time at 12:40pm, the pace of play is better than I expected, finished in less than 4 hours with a foursome group ahead of us.

A favorite course in the valley

Love both the courses at Desert springs. They differ from most courses in the valley as there is grass from tee to green. There are no desert waste areas. Still plenty of hazards, several “don’t go there” areas and enough variety to make it very interesting.

Valley course stretch of holes 4-8 are interesting and beautiful. Similarly in the back, 14,16 and 18 are scenic. 18 is one of my favorite holes, requiring 2 good shots for a chance at birdie.

Definitely worth playing.

Horrible Pace of play

I had golfers hitting into us while on putting green. I have never seen groups of player so stacked. They must have been sending groups every five minutes.
They have NO forward or Red tee boxes, I asked Staff Members and was told it is because of Covid?

Good track

Although just coming out of their overseed, the course was in great shape. Was pleasantly surprised that it was not cart path only and had a great day of golf.
Greens were a little slow but again not in bad shape.
Overall a wonderful round.
