The JW Marriott Desert Springs Valley Course is the sister layout to the Palm Course at this iconic Palm Desert resort, sharing the same lush tropical setting but offering a distinctly different playing experience. Also designed by Ted Robinson and opened in 1987, the Valley Course features wider fairways and a slightly more forgiving layout, making it particularly popular with higher-handicap resort guests. The course still incorporates the resort's famous water features and flamingo-inhabited lagoons, with the Santa Rosa Mountains providing a dramatic desert backdrop. Mature palm trees line the fairways, and the conditioning matches the resort's five-star standard. The Valley Course is often considered the more enjoyable of the two Desert Springs layouts for recreational players, with less penal rough and more forgiving landing zones off the tee.
The Valley Course opened alongside the Palm Course in 1987 as part of the JW Marriott Desert Springs Resort development. Ted Robinson designed both courses to complement the resort's extensive water feature infrastructure, incorporating the lagoon system as a central design element. The resort and its two courses have been a Coachella Valley staple for four decades.
