Stone Eagle Golf Club occupies a dramatic desert site in the foothills above Palm Desert, designed by Tom Doak and opened in 2007. The property sits at a higher elevation than most Coachella Valley courses, offering expansive views across the desert floor toward the surrounding mountains. Doak routed the course across rugged, natural terrain characterized by arroyos, rock outcroppings, and native desert vegetation, preserving much of the site's original character rather than imposing a manufactured landscape. The design philosophy emphasizes strategic options and ground-game possibilities despite the desert setting. Fairways are generous in width but feature significant movement and contour, while greens are large and complexly shaped with bold internal slopes. The routing takes advantage of natural elevation changes, with several holes playing across or along desert washes. Doak incorporated minimal rough between playing corridors and natural desert, creating a stark visual contrast and strategic clarity. Stone Eagle operates as a private club with a limited membership, maintaining a low-key profile compared to many desert resort courses. The facility includes a single eighteen-hole layout, though the "Combo" designation may refer to a particular tee configuration or routing variation used for member play. The course has appeared on various architectural rankings, recognized for its naturalistic design approach and the boldness of its green complexes in a region known more traditionally for target-style desert golf.
