Experience Nick Faldo's First Championship Course at Marriott's Shadow Ridge in Palm Desert

Nick Faldo’s first signature course in the United States can be found in the golfing paradise of the Southern California desert.

By Southland Golf MagazinePublished: March, 2005

 Shadow Ridge Golf Club at Marriott’s Shadow Ridge resort in Palm Desert is a 6,923-yard, par-71 layout described by Faldo as having “typically generous” fairways, “impressively bold” bunkers and greens that have “plenty of subtle undulations that reward and encourage a variety of approach shots.”

The course, rated tops in the desert by Desert Golf Magazine, is reminiscent of the sand-belt vistas in Australia.

“With the waste bunkers and the native areas, it has a rough appearance,” says director of golf John Faulk.

Shadow Ridge also is home to the Faldo Golf Institute by Marriott, a comprehensive teaching facility offering on-course instruction, private lessons, short game school, equipment evaluation and swing analysis studio.

There’s something for every family member at Marriott’s Shadow Ridge resort on the 312 acres surrounded by spectacular views and early-California architecture. For owners and guests to relax, there’s a tranquil scenic complex highlighted by two swimming pools, whirlpool spas, bar and grill, and a children’s wading pool and play area. For tennis lovers there are several lighted courts with views of the surrounding mountains.  

The villa accommodations offer furnished two-bedroom, two-bath layouts with mountain, lake and fairway views. Each villa includes a master suite, guest room and separate baths, spacious living and dining area with fireplace, a furnished kitchen and private balconies.

For fine dining there’s Cielo restaurant in the clubhouse, which also includes a fitness center with steam and sauna rooms, a golf shop and more.

Luxury shopping, renowned spas, impressive galleries and museums, fine restaurants and a variety of top entertainment also can be found a short trip from the grounds.
