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.
Before I left I searched on line for some of the top courses and found the Eagle Falls Golf Resort which is part of the Fantasy Spring Casino in Indio. Designed by renown golf architect Clive Clark, the Eagle Falls Golf Resort has carved out of the desert a beautiful golf course that is full of elevations, water features and foliage rarely seen on a golf course that is open to the public.
This18 hole course has three sets of tees with distances ranging 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 a challenge to the high and low handicapper.
One of the most challenging and beautiful holes is the par five 18th which has a working waterfall which gives the course its name.
Off in the distance was the spectacular twelve story 250 room tower of Fantasy Springs Casino hotel.
The course has three par fives and three par threes. Greenskeeper.org named Eagle Falls the desert’s best value two years in a row. It is also the site of the annual Playboy Golf scramble as well as the Frank Sinatra Celebrity golf event, benefiting the Barbara Sinatra Children’s charities.
Rates range from under a hundred dollars for weekday and twilight t – times and there are special rates for golfers staying the the casino’s hotel.
Our golf cart had a GPS built into it, so I didn’t have to guess how far to the nearest hazard or green. The pro shop was a disappointing but it was fully stocked with the latest gear. There was also a snack bar and attractive girls selling food and drink on the course.
When you are done, you can go over to the casino to gamble the night away.
