Lymphatic Drainage Massage with Rene
Lymphatic massage is a specialized type of medical massage that aims to improve the flow of lymph fluid in the body.  It is used to treat conditions like lymphedema, where lymphatic fluid collects in certain areas due to poor drainage.  By gently manipulating specific areas of the body, lymphatic drainage massage helps move built-up fluid through the lymphatic system, reducing swelling.  One of our newest team members, Rene Reynosa, is not only a renowned massage therapist but also an expert with experience at the Ritz-Carlton, The Inn at Rancho Santa Fe, and Scripps.

Red Light Therapy-How Does It Work?
Visible to the human eye, red light has wavelengths between 600-700 nanometers (nm) and is most effective on the skin's surface.  Red light can improve skin health, collagen production, as well as help with hair growth.  Red light therapy is ultimately thought to improve the efficiency and speed of the electron transport chain, improving the availability of ATP in the cells and throughout the body.  This increased energy is what is thought to provide the many benefits that red light therapy is used for.

Hola Court Sports Aficionados,

What an incredible way to kick off the weekend than with our 6th Annual Pickleball Tournament last Friday night! I want to thank everyone who participated and those who came to cheer on the competitors. Your support for the Court Sports program means the world, and I appreciate your commitment and energy.

Every season, our Annual Pickleball Tournament is one of the most anticipated events because of the fun, friendly competition and the chance to become the Club Champions. This year, all teams came prepared to compete, bringing their best shots in a double-elimination tournament in which each team gets to play at least two matches before being out of the draw. The beauty of this format is that even with one loss, you can still make it to the finals through the back draw, bringing excitement and surprising outcomes.

After two hours of intense play, great matches, and fun entertainment for the crowd in attendance, the final match was set between Allison Speer/Jimmy Crumpacker versus Lisa and Richard Steiny. These two had faced each other in the 2nd round of the tournament, with victory for Jimmy and Allison. After an intense match with a high level of play, Allison and Jimmy ended up defending their crown from 2024 and winning the title, becoming back-to-back Pickleball Champions.

Congratulations to Allison and Jimmy on their 2025 title!

See you at the courts,

The Gilded One: Eldorado CC
By Tom Mackin

NOT MANY COUNTRY CLUBS can boast of hosting a Ryder Cup, having multiple U.S. presidents as honorary members...

Read Full Article
 1957 
Despite his name, Farmer Page was not a grower but a gambler who owned the Pioneer Club in Las Vegas. In a poker game, had won the deed to a 792-acre fruit-growing ranch in a sheltered cove in Indian Wells, which would become Eldorado Country Club.
 1958 
Bob McCulloch (right) used his putter to point out the future clubhouse to Eldorado's first manager Bill Daugherty. The clubhouse would be designed by William F. Cody a popular designer of homes in the Coachella Valley.
 1959 
For the Ryder Cup Matches, Eldorado's ninth and eighteenth holes were switched. Eight days of fun could be had for only $100, including playing in the pro-member event. The American Team captained by Sam Snead won against the British Team, 8.5 to 3.5.
 1961 
When Eisenhower left the White House after his two terms, he accepted an invitation to spend winters at Eldorado and become an honorary member of the Club but requested to be called "General" and not Mr. President" in his retirement.
 1963 
Jack Nicklaus and Arnold Palmer at the 1963 Classic at Eldorado. Palmer won the (Desert) Classic a record five times. Around that same time, tournament organizers had become interested in raising money to build an emergency medical facility.
 1967 
Ike and California Governor Ronald Reagan at the groundbreaking for Eisenhower Medical Center, a beneficiary of generous donations and efforts by Eldorado members and notable others including Bob Hope.
 1989 
Reagan, who was the 6th American president to visit Eldorado, was the third to become an honorary member of the Club. On their regular visits to the Club, the Reagan's often greeted the staff as well as the members.
 1998 
By the mid-1990s, the attendance and enthusiasm for the Club's tennis events reached "the highest level in years." The new $4-million fitness center, pool and tennis facility provided newly popular workouts including a cardiovascular room, a weight room, yoga classes and more.
 2003 
Tom Fazio demolished the course in order to rebuild it completely. He changed the configuration of the holes at Eldorado, widened the tee areas, improved the greens (their sizes, bunker designs, and locations), and added extensive water features and landscaping.
 2017 
Around the Club's 60th Anniversary, a new casual dining venue opened. It was appropriately named IKE'S, after President Dwight D. Eisenhower's casual nickname. The venue was 100% paid for by anonymous member donations, highlighting the true spirit of it's Eldorado members.
 2022 
Membership is by invitation only and is not tied to real estate in any way whatsoever. Initially, people gain access to the grounds because they know a member and are invited as a guest. Several visits later, there's a good chance they too will fall under Eldorado's spell.
