About JW Marriott Desert Springs – Palm Course

The JW Marriott Desert Springs Palm Course offers a quintessential desert resort golf experience set against the dramatic backdrop of the Santa Rosa Mountains in Palm Desert. Designed by Ted Robinson and opened in 1987, the Palm Course winds through the resort's lush grounds, featuring the signature flamingo-lined lagoons and waterways that have made Desert Springs famous. Water comes into play on nearly every hole, demanding accurate shot-making while the mountain scenery provides a stunning visual contrast to the manicured fairways. Palm trees, bougainvillea, and tropical plantings line the corridors, creating a resort ambiance that feels distinctly Coachella Valley. The course plays to a moderate length, making it accessible to resort guests while still offering enough challenge to engage better players. Morning tee times offer soft desert light and cooler temperatures — essential during summer months when midday heat can exceed 110°F.

History

The Palm Course was designed by acclaimed water-feature architect Ted Robinson and opened in 1987 as part of the JW Marriott Desert Springs Resort, one of the largest resort hotels in California. Robinson, known for his creative use of water, incorporated the resort's extensive lake and lagoon system directly into the course routing. The course has hosted numerous corporate tournaments and celebrity events over the decades.

Resort guests and visiting golfers who want a visually spectacular, playable desert layout with full resort amenities rather than a demanding championship test.
