Tennis Clinics on JW Marriott Courts

Sharon Q on Mar 04, 2026

An all-inclusive stay with accomodation and 3 hour tennis clinics each day. Fabulous instruction on the courts with Stacey, David and Zee. Thank-you for your expertise and inpiration. Beautifully orchestrated and priced by coordinator Megan O'Leary. Thank-you from all of us - a Canadian team of 9 women.

All around great activities and leisure experience and vacation

BoulderSkier (Boulder) on Mar 01, 2026

Love the hotel and its many amenities. Great lobby atmosphere with coffee shop and bar. Great restaurants onsite. Fun things to do in and around the hotel like put put golf, cycling, fitness parcour, walking trails. Went there for a tennis camp for the second time and again it did not disappoint but enrich and improve our tennis skills.

Room temperature is uncomfortable (hot then cold then hot), common areas feel like mall of America, and the pool is dirt

Elizabeth L on Feb 28, 2026

The main areas of the hotel feel like a huge mall. Very loud and busy. The hvac in the rooms is uncomfortable… very hot then very cold. But the pool is the worst. It’s so dirty. Actual dirt in the bottom of the pool and film and bandaids floating on the top of the water. The service has actually been good, however.

Experience of a lifetime

Wonderful experience overall. Staff went out of their way to make sure we had everything we needed. Took a pickleball lesson followed by a massage. Both experiences were more than expected.

Tennis at JW Marriott Desert Springs

Michael S (Newport Beach, California) on Feb 26, 2026

I would highly recommend all the tennis camps at the Marriott Desert Springs facility. 1. Jim Leupold and his staff provide excellent instruction on basic and advanced technique, positioning and strategy. Play is mixed in with the drills so you can practice what you learned. 2. The tennis facilities and the hotel are fantastic. 3. The chance to play tennis on grass, clay and hard court at the same location is really fun and not available at most tennis facilities. 4. The weather in Palm Desert is great for tennis most of the year. 5. I have been attending the camps for 5+ years and have always had a great experience.
