Very cozy. We loved the location. Close to the Empire Polo Grounds. The rooms were large and clean. There is a restaurant on site with a full bar, and an added plus of 27 holes of golf! The Royal course is historic. I recommend this hotel .Not fancy, and we enjoyed our stay.

Renowned architect Clive Clark has taken a parcel of our local desert and carved a masterpiece with elevations and water features not usually seen on a golf course that is open for public play. This 18-hole, 6,715 yard par 72 challenge will test the low handicapper, but yet provide an enjoyable and fair test of golf for the average player. Stay and play at our Palm Springs hotel for the ultimate golf getaway.

This course was recommended by a golfer we met while playing at Silverrock (another very nice course in nearby La Quinta). It’s located on the property of Fantasy Springs Casino, but since it’s a bit off the beaten path, apparently many people don’t know about it (myself included). While there isn’t a proper clubhouse (it’s in a trailer), it didn’t matter to us. They do have a small snack bar and cart service. The practice area is excellent—one of the nicest I’ve encountered—and range balls are included with your greens fee. Carts have GPS’s which measure to the flag. The course itself is very picturesque and in top condition. We felt it started off relatively easy, but grew more difficult after the first 6 or 7 holes. Greens were pristine and rolled true with very few exaggerated breaks. We finished our highly enjoyable round in under 4 hours. One small thing to mention: we booked using a mobile device and our twosome was apparently registered as a foursome. The clerk said this has happened before and recommended calling rather than going online to book tee times. Eagle Falls could well become a favorite. We will definitely return.

Great courses, good food and fun. This is located next to Worldmark resort and a couple gated communities. Very quiet location.
