My Day of Golf at the Eagle Falls Golf Resort
If you are a golf enthusiast, on your next vacation to Palm Springs and the desert resort cities of Palm Desert, Rancho Mirage, La Quinta, Indian Wells and Indio you should take in the Eagle Falls Golf Resort in Indio, California.
Part of the Fantasy Spring Casino complex in Indio, Eagle Falls was designed by renown golf architect Clive Clark. Carved out of the desert is a beautiful golf course that is full of elevations, water features and foliage rarely seen on a public golf course.
Eagle Falls is an 18 hole course with three sets of tees, for the ladies, high handicappers and pros. The distances range from 5,729 to 6,715 depending upon whether you set up at the Falcon, Hawk or Eagle t - boxes. At par 72 the course is tough but fair.
One of the most challenging and beautiful holes is the par five 18th which has a working waterfall which gives the course its name.
Behind the 18th green and off in the distance I spied the twelve story tower of Fantasy Springs Casino hotel.
All told the course has three par fives and three par threes. According to the golf shop and some of the promotional literature I read Eagle Falls was named the desert's best value course two years in a row by Greenskeeper.org and is the site of the annual Playboy Golf scramble as well as the Frank Sinatra Celebrity golf event, benefiting the Barbara Sinatra Children's charities.
While the rates vary depending on the time of year, my playing partner and I got a special rate because he was staying at the casino hotel.
The pro shop is not much to look at, but it was fully stocked with the latest gear. There is also a snack bar and attractive girls selling food and drink on the course. There are golf carts with GPS trackers built in so you don't have to guess how far your ball is to the nearest hazard or green.
When I got done, I went over to the casino and spent a couple of hours at the black jack table. The perfect end to my day in the desert.
