JW Marriott Desert Springs Resort and Spa

This was my 4th visit, but the first time playing the Palm Coarse. The staff, as always was extremely attentive and friendly, and the Coarse is in top notch condition. Always a good experience here.

It was a first experience. I like the course layout and atmosphere, but the green was slow.

We actually played the Valley Course.It is a nice course. The deep traps were a challenge for us. Also, there had been some heavy winds and the course had not been cleaned up from the debris from the trees.

It was good except for they had not cleaned up the debris from the strong winds the previous Saturday.

Course has interesting design and if it were in better condition I would have stated higher. Greens were bumpy, sand was inconsistent, play was a bit slow. We went off before 2 with a 2:10
Tee time and just finished at dark. Course is worth the after 2 pm rate, but I would be disappointed if I had paid the over $200 regular rate.

I am a devoted Marriott customer. The cost to play these two resort courses way out of line, given the conditions of the course. We played Valley and was very surprised with the poor greens. Too many better options in the area, given the cost.

Customer service good…

Layout great, greens with perfect speed, grass conditions super!

Course was in great condition and pace of play was good. Finished in under 4 hrs
