Best Public Golf Courses in Palm Desert

Located at the JW Marriott, this 18-hole, par 72 championship course is one of the best in Coachella Valley. This Ted Robinson-designed course combines views, pristine golf course conditions, and resort golf all in one place for those visiting.  The "Palm's" total yardage is 6,761 yards and has a 72.1 slope rating.

The "Valley" course at the JW Marriott features 6,627 yards of golf from the tips. This 18-hole Ted Robinson course is a par 72 with a 71.5-course rating and will challenge your golf game. The Valley course has some amazing views of the San Jacinto Mountains as well as some nice water holes.

The Mountain View course, located at the Westin Desert Willow, features rolling fairways, flowing water features, natural desert flora, and beautiful mountain views. The 8 tee selection gives the Mountain View course its own distinct personality from the tournament quality Firecliff course. 

The Firecliff golf course, measuring 7,056 yards, is a true test of skill where golfers must negotiate their way around extensive natural areas, numerous water features and more than 100 bunkers/waste areas. Be sure to take in your surroundings and appreciate the stellar course views and beauty. 

Nick Faldo's first US-designed course is one to be reckoned with. Located at the Marriott Shadow Ridge Resort, this links-style golf course offers beautiful mountain views for any golfer and a great course layout. The course measures 7,006 yards with a slope rating of 73.7. Watch out for those bunkers though!

Think of The Classic Club as your top-tier "local's" course that has to compete with all of the resort courses in the area. This is a great track that has a layout almost as beautiful as their clubhouse. This 18-hole, par 72 Arnold Palmer Course has received many awards over the years and is a must!
