"We have been going to the JW Marriott Desert Springs Resort & Spa for the last 20 years, having first discovered it attending a conference. Now we come for the superb tennis experience first and foremost, with excellent pros, fun clinics and friendly fellow tennis enthusiasts. The spa, the location, the resort itself and the food is great as well!"—N.M., Adv. Int., April 2024

"My friend and I have gone to the JW for over 10 years to do the clinics everyday then head to PNB pro tennis tournament . We look forward to the competitive clinics. We are paired with people at our level and the instructors guide us through drills to hone our doubles skills. Every year we walk away with concrete ways to continue to improve. I so appreciate the head Pro Jim Leupold and the staff he puts together to teach us. I recommend this resort to all tennis players at all skill levels. You will learn and have fun and make new tennis friends."—D.S., Adv., April 2024

"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
