On my last last trip to the Palm Springs, I took a day off from the family activities and started looking around for a place to play some golf. While my kids took their beach gear to lounge at the pool and I grabbed my golf bag and headed off to the Eagle Falls Golf Resort just outside of Palm Springs.

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.

The signature hole is the par five 18th which has a working waterfall, hence the name Eagle Falls.

In the distance you can see the twelve story 250 room tower of Fantasy Springs Casino hotel.

All told the course has three par fives and three par threes. According to the golf shop and some of the promotional literature I read Eagle Falls was named the desert’s best value course two years in a row by Greenskeeper.org and is 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.

The pro shop is not much to look at, but it was fully stocked with the latest gear. There is also a snack bar and attractive girls selling food and drink on the course. There are golf carts with GPS trackers built in so you don’t have to guess how far your ball is to the nearest hazard or green.

When I got done, I went over to the casino and spent a couple of hours at the black jack table. The perfect end to my day in the desert.

Getting the perfect golf bag is pretty tricky because there are a lot (thousands even) of choices out there.

As already mentioned, there are a lot of bags out there, so you need to sort out your priorities and needs first. List them down, and find the bag for you from there. The following bags are the most basic ones.

First bag is the carry bag. This is the bag for those golfers who love to stroll around while playing. It is lightweight and made of lightweight materials as well, like plastic, nylon, and canvas.

These bags even come with a stand, which is perfect while putting your carry bag down to play. This was first manufactured and introduced to the public by Sun Mountain during the 1980s.

Probably the most popular golf bag these days is the cart bag, but it is not for strollers. They are a little heavy to carry around but they fit perfectly on golf carts.

The cart bag. This is not the perfect bag for carrying around. This could still be carried but it would prove to be an inconvenient thing to do. This perfectly fits the back of a golf cart though. This bag might be the most popular among all the different types of golf bags, because this could fit more than the usual basics but enough room for other accessories as well.

The staff bag. This is the perfect bag for professionals who need to carry all their equipment everywhere they go. This could fit as much as 14 clubs, and more!

Finally, the last bag is the travel bag, which is especially lightweight for easy transport. This is also made of soft and lightweight materials. However, if you can’t find a golf travel bag, then you could use the carry bag while traveling.
