Marriott's Desert Springs Resort in Palm Springs California features two 18-hole championship golf courses, both are designed by world-renowned golf course architect Ted Robinson. The resort's two course, the Palms course and the Valley course are two of the best courses I have ever played. The Palm's course was named best new course in 1987 by Golf Digest magazine and the Valley was runner-up in 1988. Both course are exceptionally manicured and I feel top, world renowned course like Kapalua or even some of the great courses in Florida. I live in Seattle so traveling to Sun soaked area's to play golf is always a treat, I recreated both course with the course book and photo's that I took while playing. If you have any comments or have designed a course that you think I would like play please drop a note in my E-mail. On Accolade BBS I can be reached by the name of "Tahoe", On Prodigy its "CHTK90A" and on America On-Line its "Rick974233". Thanks for Playing Richard Royce
