Eagle Falls Golf Course
Whether staying at the resort or not, the Eagle Falls Golf Course is not to be missed. Resort guests enjoy preferred tee times, but the course is open to the public and is consistently one of the top courses in the desert for great conditioning and value. The resort and golf course are home each year to the Frank Sinatra Celebrity Invitational, along with other celebrity and charity tournaments. Willie Maples, the likable Director of Golf, makes sure each player is well taken care of whether a resort guest or a daily fee player. Maples comes from a legendary family background in golf. His father, Palmer Maples, worked for the famous Scottish pro, Donald Ross—the designer of Pinehurst in North Carolina and hundreds of courses in the United States. Maples Senior went on to design and develop many courses on the east coast as well.
Maples has taken great pride in the course since its development in 2006 with designer Clive Clark. He is quick to point out that the design is not a typical flat desert-type golf course but has contours of mounding and elevations throughout. And beautiful too, with two large waterfalls and five lakes. Maples wants his guests to come back again and again, and they usually do. Whether it’s just for the day or an extended stay of several, Fantasy Springs Resort Casino has it all.
