Isolated on a high desert plateau and barely visible to the outside world, this remarkable 700-acre property overlooking Palm Desert and the Coachella Valley combines an acclaimed Tom Doak-signature golf course with an exclusive gated residential development featuring a choice of premium homesites and finished homes.
Stone Eagle Golf Club occupies a unique position perched 1,000 feet over the desert floor. Only minutes from the world-renowned retail corridor of El Paseo, this exclusive club offers players a blissful sense of seclusion at the edge of the magnificent Santa Rosa Mountains. Tom Doak’s exquisite minimalist design flows masterfully through the rugged desert terrain, with endless vistas, undulating fairways, terrific shot values and a wide range of classic strategic elements that add up to an utterly enjoyable golf experience.
Stone Eagle’s deluxe residential component, The Retreat, encompasses a total of 44 parcels with a choice of finely crafted single-family homes and ready-to-build homesites. Nonresident club members can acquire ownership interest in the Stone Eagle Residence Club, a collection of three fully furnished and luxuriously appointed casitas located adjacent to the clubhouse.
