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

• ""—L.M., Adv. Int., January 2019

• "Spencer Weinberg was an amazing coach and I had an amazing time with him."—P.P., Adv. Int., January 2019

• "My family and I had the pleasure of staying at the JW Marriott Desert Springs Resort over the holidays. By far, the highlight of our vacation was the PBI Tennis Club. The entire staff, outstanding facility and grounds, not to mention plethora of daily clinics offered - are nothing short of exceptional. The instruction, in particular that of Dave Kensler who taught us to play pickleball - is truly outstanding. We are definitely going back next Christmas, if not before!"—D.M.,  January 2019

• "I had a great time playing Tennis at the JW Marriott. The courts were great and my instructor, Spencer Weinberg, helped me improve many parts of my game. In total, I went to three private lessons and I can say with confidence that I came out playing the best Tennis I had ever played. There were always available courts to practice on when I was not in a private lesson. I would recommend the Tennis program."—N.I., Int., January 2019

• "Dora is fantastic about setting up partners for doubles!"—A.J., Adv., December 2018

• ""—M.F., Adv. Int., December 2018

• ""—R.P., Adv., December 2018

• "Strengths: • The staff and pros are very congenial and prepared • There are tons of courts—including clay and grass. They even have an event where you can try the various court styles • The pros remember you from previous encounters • The pros are very institutive. For instance, if a player signed up for an advanced drill, but the pros believe the others registered are significantly more skilled, then they will just have a separate pro work with that player rather than asking them to come to another session. • The pros are adaptive. If they can see a couple of players are becoming exhausted, they will smoothly change the current exercise. • They ask the players what skill they wish to improve prior to the start of a drill session. • The sheer beauty of the landscape and picturesque views are perfectly distracting and motivating. • During the busier part of the season, they will add additional clinics • If you are staying at the JW Marriott hotel, they can bill any fees directly to your room • Even if you are not staying at the JW Marriott, you are eligible to sign up for their drills and clinics, and courts. • If you are staying at the JW, all your necessities are available on the grounds from multiple restaurants and bars, various types of shopping, golfing and tennis, and even a man-made river with gondolas for commuting within the hotel Areas of Improvement • No clay-court drills or clinics • During the busy part of the season, clinics and drill sessions may be limited to players staying at the JW Marriott. • Parking. There are actually more courts than parking spaces. They are adaptive during busy times, but it can be unclear. • The JW Marriott facility is vast, so it can take up to 40 minutes to walk to the tennis grounds from your hotel room—depending upon which part of the facility the guest is housed."—B.D., Int., December 2018

• "Best ever I visit. I've got a game or clinic every day . Dora was great to organize tennis for each day we staid in . A tennis pro Jim was giving us great tips and drills to improve our game. The game on a grass tennis court gave us experience of fun and frustration. I wish we can stay more days. Thanks to all people to made our vacation great. Sam"—S.K., Adv. Int., December 2018

• "I attended the camp at the JW Marriott Desert Springs in early December. It exceeded my expectations. The program was well designed to cover many topics and the instruction was tailored to help each of us advance our skills in a way that maximized our learning. The pros were excellent. They could easily identify our individual needs and made sure we had several take-aways that allowed us to continue progressing when we got home. The tennis facility is top notch and includes several hard courts as well as a few clay and grass courts. The resort is beautiful and has many amenities. I highly recommend this tennis camp and the resort."—R.J., Int., December 2018

• "I've taken lots of tennis lessons over the years. But I liked PBI's approach best. I'm a practical person so I loved the simple analagies (e.g. hitting a backhand is like throwing a frisbee) that allowed me to relax and not feel overwhelmed. It felt liberating to stop obsessing about the perfect toss or the perfect form. Less is more. I also liked the emphasis on protection from injuries since I struggled with tennis elbow for much of this year. The instructors gave lots of individual attention, were highly skilled and thoroughly entertaining. I can't imagine a better tennis camp experience."—R.R., Low Int., December 2018

• "The tennis staff was professional, attentive and very skilled. They appropriately placed everyone with their appropriate level."—T.F., Int., December 2018
