Valley of the Eagles Golf Club

First time playing here and enjoyed the round. Played white tees but will play blues in the future. White just too short on most holes if you hit driver more than 250. Greens were great with good break. Not really a course to walk as tee boxes are a bit dar to walk from hole to hole. Played Saturday morning and no food/drink available until lunch time so eat or get coffee before your early tee time.

For all the touting this course does about being the only Nicklaus designed course in the area, it doesn't live up. From pulling into the course, you instantly are greated with a driveway that has potential to be amazing line it with flowering trees it'd be like driving into Augusta, then the parking lot full of pot holes and hasn't been replaced since it was spring valley and in very bad shape, the club house is very nice, restaurant, bar, golf simulators and in great shape, pro shop is lacking in items to buy or at least displayed. Better selection of clubs, balls, accessories would be nice. The golf carts are okay and work but the cubbies are to tight to get big hands in and are basic, would like to see some newer updated carts maybe with built in gps screens. The course tee boxes were in average shape would be nice to have a sand/ seed box on them to repair iron divots as there are many. Fairways were in good shape as were sand traps( mostly weed free) the rough needs work as there is a decent amount of weeds mixed in it. Putting greens were nice and in good shape. Unfortunately the car paths (if you want to call it that) make this course unbearable to navigate more bumps and pot holes than the parking lot. The carts are not comfortable enough to drive on that surface conditions. For $50+ if expect a starters or rangers to help keep the pace of play moving along, I didn't see one the whole time. This course could be good with more of an investment in the infrastructure, staffing and amenities. Lack of bathrooms even portapotties is annoying when you see many people peeing on the course. No beverage cart traveling around. Very disappointed that they are relying on the Nicklaus name to deliver a subpar course, customer service and experience. Not worth $55 at that price the should be able to afford nice cart paths.

Early in the year and the course was in fine shape. However, I can play 2 months from now and it will be in the same shape. This is max a mid $50 course. I do not understand those who pay the $70+ fees to play this course when there are soo many others with nicer layouts for less money. The Niclaus team tried to help but seems to be a bit much for this group to give the course the TLC it needs.

Remember, no driving range at this course so be ready to play!

Right when you pull in and see the clubhouse you know this course is the real deal. Course layout was challenging but a lot of fun! Greens and sand traps were well kept. Loved the views of some of the holes.

This was a good course with a nice variety of holes. The conditions were also fairly good though not great. The layout is fairly odd although understandable for the location. Overall I was happy paying less than $40 for this round. Very nice River course overall. I wouldn’t join as a member, but it’s a good option in this area.

The fair ways and rough we’re just what you’d expect from a RTJ course. Greens were expected to be a bit slow this early in the season. Look forward to going back later this season.

I love it here. The course is always in great shape. The staff are always friendly and the food is awesome. What more can you ask for.

Played on a fall day, staff could not have been nicer. Many interesting holes, creative layout and fairways, bunkers and greens were all in nice shape. One of these courses on west side in my opinion.

Play this course years ago when it first reopened and it still had some major maturing to do. It's finally there, everything was in great shape for this time of year. Greens rolled smooth and true, fairways were well manicured and no leaves (very surprised). I will definitely play this course more now that it has fully matured. Keep up the great job...

Great price! Great course! The greens a bit rough but it’s November so all is forgiven. Will play again!!

My friend and I visited here, for the first time, for both of us! And at the 1st tee was instantly greeted by the nicest gentleman! We had one heck of nice day and the course was in the best shape that I have seen any course in this time of year! Yeah the cart paths are rough (that you might see in another review) but that’s because they redoing them and people love to complain.. there are rarely any leaves on the course and the bunkers seemed like they haven’t seen rain or dew in a month!

Only con you can find is on some of the holes, the airation they did a month ago, is still visible on the fringe of the green! But just played Sleepy and Manakiki the days prior, this blows them OUT of the water!

I was just so blown away that no one talks about this course that much! Must go before they close (They said they are looking to make it to Thanksgiving!)

For the time of year, the course conditions were nice. But not Nicklaus nice. Very disappointed to see so many pitch marks on the greens and infilled divots everywhere. Sounds bad, but even the cart paths seemed bad. It’s just not what you think of when you think of a Nicklaus course. For the price, you can’t complain too much though.
