One of the most fun and scenic resort golf courses in the desert are the two 18 - hole beauties at Marriott's Desert Springs. I got to play this course recently with out of town guests who were staying at the massive desert hotel which has long been the crown jewel in the Marriott chain.
Designed by acclaimed golf architect Ted Robinson's who is known as 'King of Waterscapes' the 'Palm' and the 'Valley' courses are beautifully landscaped. But there is more than just water and landscape to these two courses.
Created to provide golfers of all ages and abilities an enjoyable round the greens are well maintained and relatively flat. The course is littered with bunkers, water hazards and strategically placed trees.
On the day that I played the golf staff placed me in a new high tech drive golf carts with state-of-the-art navigational and computing systems. The on-board GPS computer provided me with a graphic layout of each hole and computed the exact yardage to the pin and hazards.
The pro shop is top rate with Taylor made clubs for rent, so if you are flying in to the desert you don't have to drag around your own clubs. There is also a Taylor Made Performance Lab directly across from the pro shop if you need to correct that "hitch" in your swing or are simply looking for more distance.
My partner ordered lunch as he teed off from the 18th hole and was waiting for him at Sand Trap & Wedge restaurant. I preferred, however, to wait to eat at one of the hotels Oasis Bar and Grill later that afternoon.
While the guys were spending the day on the golf course, my wife and her friends spent the day at the Spa Desert Springs.
After a day of golf you might try dinner at one of the fine restaurants on property, including the Lakeview and and the Japanese styled restaurant the Mikado.
On your next golfing vacation to Palm Springs and the desert resort cities be sure to take in a day of golf at the Marriott Desert Springs.
