JW Marriott Desert Springs Resort & Spa

Here's what others have had to say about JW Marriott Desert Springs Resort & Spa.

"The JW Marriott Desert Springs Resort and especially the tennis facilities run by Jim Leupold and his PBI staff are exceptional. I have travelled to many resorts around the globe and have played tennis at many idealic facilities, but can honestly say that the JW Marriott facilities and Jim Leupold are the catalysts that bring me back annually for the past 8-9 years (sometimes bi-annually). Do yourself a favour, visit the JW Marriott and Jim at least once - I bet you’ll become hooked like I have become."—M.M., Adv., April 2024

"Lots of tennis courts Long walks to car and around hotel due to large size Can be difficult to find pool chairs"—A.A., Adv. Int., April 2024

"The Marriott Desert Springs on a macro basis is an incredible experience in all respects! I personally believe that one of the real treasures of the resort is the lawn and Tennis! I have been to many tennis resorts around the country and the Tennis Center at the Marriott is one of the very best I’ve ever been to! Facilities are tremendous the atmosphere is highly positive, The quality of the tennis Director and his staff is unparalleled in my opinion! And I personally believe that given all these exceptional qualities, it makes the lawn and tennis center the jewel of the Marriott resort!"—J.S., Adv., April 2024

"I have told my tennis friends that you have to go to the Desert Springs Marriott where tennis director Jim Leupold puts on terrific clinics, and events like the social tournament where you play on all three surfaces (hard, grass and HarTru) with different partners. Such a blast, and by the end of the day you have a large group of people to call on for matches during your stay. I always pack extra shoes and clothes because I spend hours on the courts for days. The surrounding view of the mountains is just spectacular. During the peak season Jim has a number of really good young pros that he brings in to help with clinics and events. I have been going there in the fall for more than a decade and its highlight of my desert stay."—R.R., Adv. Int., April 2024

"Playing tennis at the JW Marriott during the Indian Wells tournament was such a magical experience. If you’re planning a trip to Palm Springs you HAVE to play tennis at the JW Mariott. The grounds are gorgeous, the staff were wonderful and so helpful, and the pros were high energy, very knowledgeable, and helped me improve many aspects of my game. We played on the hard court, clay, and grass courts…how incredible to have the option of all 3! Seriously though, the pros… John, Josh, Jon, and of course Jim were amazing and I’m already planning my trip back for next year!"—B.C., Int., April 2024

"We went during the Indian Wells Tennis tournament in March. Loved that the hotel had a complementary shuttle service running to and from the tournament. Spent two days at the tournament, and spent another two days playing at tennis facilities at the resort. They had a nice selection of classes, and their tennis pros gave phenomenal private lessons. Everyone there was incredibly nice and accommodating. Definitely recommend!"—S.C., Pro, April 2024

"This resort is amazing! The weather was incredible and the tennis courts are in great condition. I was able to arrange quality tennis as well as amazing time with the pros. I learned a tremendous amount as well as had a really good time. And the surrounding area is incredible also with lots to do!"—G.F., Adv. Int., April 2024

"Each year, we at Wilson Tennis need to choose a location to host our global marketing photoshoot, an event where we capture content with our top athletes. Choosing the JW Marriott Desert Springs Resort & Spa is the easiest decision we make all year! From a facility perspective, they have everything you need. Hard courts, clay courts, and of course, the picturesque grass courts. They have catering, shipping, storage, and printing services that their team successfully manages throughout the week. Their restaurants and hotel rooms on site are first class - we actually don't leave the grounds all week because of all the great amenities on site. Most importantly, though, is the team that works in the Tennis Center, led by Tennis Director Jim Leupold. Jim and his team are so great to work with. Leading up and especially during our event, they always have a solution to anything we throw their way, and believe me, we throw A LOT their way. They are incredibly accommodating, professional, and best of all, friendly! Jim always makes a point to give a lesson to anyone on our team who asks, and even insists on doing it himself. Our week at the JW Marriott Desert Springs Resort & Spa is by far our favorite work trip of the year, and so of course we have no hesitation recommending their resort and tennis center for any event you may want to host there. They'll make any work event feel like a true vacation. Please, please just don't take our week!"—P.K., Adv., April 2024

"I have retired to the Valley and have taken lessons at all the clubs and resorts and Jim Leopard is the very best teacher in the entire Valley and also the best teacher I have ever had. He is clear, precise and 100% present when teaching, which is very rare in the tennis teaching world! Dora who works at the front desk is a joy to interact with and always so helpful in person and on the phone! The resort is lovely and the setting is amazing! This should be your only tennis destination in the Coachella Valley! The Best."—J.N., Int., April 2024

"Jim Leupold and his tennis staff set the bar for professional and effective tennis instruction. I’ve never found better for the 2.5-4.0 level player. Courts are immaculate with all three surfaces (grass, clay, hard court) available for play. If you love tennis, this is your paradise."—P.M., Adv., April 2024
