Eagle Crest Resort - Challenge Course

Can't say enough about this awesome
course!! Greens are perfectly maintained
And fairways are impeccable .

Easy , relaxing round of golf. Played it easily in 3 hours. Lots of bunkers. Well maintained.

Eagle Crest Challenge course is a good par 3/4 course. The greens are well maintained and holes are just enough work for a intermediate golfer.

Stay in the fairways or you will pay the price. Quick greens, rough rough.

The course is alternating par 3 and par 4. All requiring the ball be kept in play. Greens are small, a bit slow with a noticeable difference between up grain or down. They are typical public greens, bit hard and rarely hold a wedge. Play to expect roll on approach shots. Couple of greens don't match rest and are fast. Sand traps are bunkers. Fairways are rolling and rough is natural high desert. Easy to loose balls here. Nice layout with good visuals. Must be in shape to walk it, good size distance between holes. Women's tees offer real distance from mens on most holes making this good couple course. Overall, very good course to keep your game in shape. Very friendly staff, nice facilities, and easy to finish 18 in 3.5 hours.

very nice to walk, weather was a bit cool though, fairways lush, greens very good, was a nice end to vacation of golf.

One of my favorite courses in Central Oregon. Always well maintained, and it is a challenge for an average golfer, but still very enjoyable!

After playing this PAR 63 course a number of times last year I thought I would not 'like' to play it much this year. For a short course (non-Par 5, and some short/shorter holes), this 18 hole course offers plenty of challenges and opportunities to practice all aspects of the game. From the Blue Tees, this course has some Par 4s that require a good drive and a short to mid iron in. The Par 3s from the Blues also require some mid irons. The greens were in good condition given the time of year and the pace of play was superb. I finished in under 3 hours. I'd recommend this to anyone looking for (a) a shorter round, (b) someone who is looking to work on his/her short game - NOTE - all greens have good approaches, sand traps, some water and YES - real 'par 72' size greens. But again, there's a couple opportunities to hit Driver of the tee and 3 wood all day long.

Obviously it was March and luckily the weather was good and sunny at 55 degrees! The greens where still somewhat less than adequate - no ball cleaners or water coolers and the beverage cart only came to us at the 16th hole...pretty poor planning!
Over-all, this is a fun course, especially for baby boomers who are "improving their game" after working a long career!
I would play this course again...even if the $16.00 per person to ride a cart is excessive in my opinion! The F&B venue is terrible!

I like the course, and have played it about 7-8 times. A good healthy walk( I am almost 74 yrs). Had 3 birdies, and played one over. It is a good test of accuracy off the tee, and your short game...both chipping and putting. Oh, and sand, even though I wasn't in any traps this day. Lots of them, and pretty tough.

My wife and I played here for the 2nd time, course in decent shape, only 2 hrs 50 minutes walking…we caught up to the foursome ahead of us at the 9th, which slowed us down a bit, but pace was good. Lots of par 3's and short par 4's…fun round!

One can enjoy a quick 18 holes of challenging golf here. Every hole is unique. In winter shape now, but still worth the money.

The greens were a little wet, but overall very nice course. I wish the pin flags were normal height, pretty hard to judge distance.

Great course, I've recommended to many!!
Even tho it is a par 3 course, I feel it is one of the best
in Central Oregon.

The challenge is always great fun to play. The course was in exellent shape,and the greens were slick the day I played it. Went from the purple tees which bounce you all over the place, you use all of the tees when going from the purple tees. The weather was great for this time of year. We saw numerous deer on nearly every hole. It was,as usual, a great experience.

course was in great condition, greens we fast and undulating. not busy so we when our own pace.

Shot course but each hole can be a challenge. To get in 18 holes and in less than 4 hours this is the course to play.

Truly a fun course that presents a challenge because of slopes and contours and the need to use all clubs - even driver!

Greens are well maintained, quick and somewhat tricky and rough was high and difficult when the ball settled.

The Challenge is a great place for a 3-3 1/2 hour round, walkable for the fit but involves some short climbs and is a fair value, and a super value on some tee-times.
Would recommend to any player except those who want to boom driver on 14 holes because you can only hit driver on 4-5 holes.

Every hole is different with plenty of risk/reward shot potentials

Great for kids with some playing time under their belt. Holes from the red tees are just perfect. While the blue tees will challenge the good players.
