Stone Eagle Golf Club

One of more than thirty golf courses located within ten miles of Palm Desert, Stone Eagle Golf Club occupies a spectacular setting above the Palm Springs valley where its construction was one of the toughest projects undertaken by Tom Doak’s Renaissance design company prior to its debut in 2005.

It’s an engaging layout, routed over a steep and rocky landscape with dramatic elevation changes occurring on many of the holes. The terrain is often tortuous, offering golfers plenty of opportunities to take in the wonderful downhill vistas.

Stand out holes include the 418-yard 5th (where the fairway falls away into a ravine on the left), the 386-yard 10th (played uphill into a canyon) and the strong par four 18th (which drops back downhill to the home green).

If you can secure a game here, be sure to play the "settle-the-bet" par three 19th hole, which should be a doddle at a mere 150 yards, but the green is benched into the desert landscape and the sanctuary of this pulpit-like stage is notoriously difficult to find.

World Top 100 Golf Courses

The latest ranking of the Top 100 Golf Courses in the World serves as the ultimate global golf bucket list. Most members of our World Top 100 Panel are seasoned golfers, each playing 20-30 of these courses annually while travelling extensively over decades to form their opinions on others. We recognise that opinions vary—even among our panel members. Rankings are subjective, and there are undoubtedly 50 or more courses in the UK and USA alone that could easily fit onto this list.
