Eagle Crest Resort - Resort Course

My wife and I visited here for the fittest time. The staff was courteous and friendly, the course was challenging and beautiful and in great condition.

Redmond, OR area, played 10/6 at Eagle Crest ( 2 reg., 1 exec. course) Course is in superb shape--weather 70-85* all week.Played poorly, enjoyed greatly. Great bargain via Hot List on Golf Now. Believe this weather not unusual for Eagle Crest in Oct. Course flat after#2-3. Mod # traps.Minimal H2O. OB's possible, but fairways generous. Greens mod. undulating. Could handfeed deer at Pro shop

I have played here many times while visiting Eagle Crest Resort but this was the first time my wife (a beginning golfer) played with me.

The weather was not great but we headed out earlier than our tee time when there was a break in the clouds. We appreciated the staff's willingness to let us go prior to our reserved time.

The course was in great shape and it plays well for a wide variety of abilities. A couple of suggestions:
1. Consider adding an additional set of tees between the whites and the reds. There was a twosome of guys in front of us playing the whites and they should have been on the reds. Perhaps they would have played a set of tees forward if there was something before the reds. (Some guys don't want to play "Ladies Tees.) Golf courses should never call tee boxes by gender - only color! I think the guys ahead of us would have had more fun playing a more forward set and would have gone faster!
2. We would have benefited from a marshal on the course helping these two guys to speed it up.

Other than that, we had a great time and look forward to playing at Eagle Crest again! There are some great views and lots of deer roaming the course.

Course was in pretty good shape. Overall experience was good but would have liked to have more yardage references. Only the blue tees had permanent markers to denote where the distances were measured, so if you are playing whites and the tees aren't in their normal position the yardage will be off. Also none of the sprinklers have yardages so you only have the 100-150-200 spots to go from. I did appreciate the distance to the hazards off the tee on the scorecards.

Resort course without customer service for the price of golf. No bag drop or help with clubs, pay extra for range balls, no help with clubs at end of round. This would be a fine muni type course if the cost was more reasonable. Good design on starting & ending holes with wide open holes in the middle. enjoyed the pace of play & scenery.

Reasonably priced, course was in excellent shape, greens were meticulous and staff was friendly.

What a beautiful course and day. The 2nd hole is as amazing as promised. Elevated tee to a tricky canyon. Long rough. If you hit into it say farewell to your ball. Tricky greens. Want another chance at a few.
Very friendly staff. Course Marshall could have helped a bit more with the very slow 3some in front of us. They didn't let us through until the last par 3. We were in our car and leaving before they finished 18.
No cart service which seemed odd for a warm holiday weekend. Pretty parched by the end.

We played in the afternoon. The wind was a bit of a factor but not bad. On the back nine we had the course to ourselves, no one either in front or in back of us. The greens were slower than some of the other Central Oregon courses we have played this week, but rolled true.

Most enjoyable course and quite challenging. Somewhat spoiled by very slow play.

Normally Eagle Crest always is a good choice. But, the slow play that started on the 2nd hole, turned into a round just under 5 hours. Only after calling in did a marshal talk to the group ahead, but it didn't change anything. The greens were in poor shape and so slow!

Long walk due to distance green to next tee, fairways were great, greens very good just about right speed, saw lots of varied wildlife, weather was just right for walking, I like this course, we vacation here every other year.

I wish I could have walked the course but #'s 2 & 3 are down in a canyon and the walk is not for seniors. I enjoyed playing as a single. As I came upon groups they were more than willing to let me play through. the marshall even suggested I play two balls. (That really improves the game)

Really enjoy this course
Greens had been sanded but was about gone. 2 weeks the place will be perfect
And we used their cart for the last time as tomorrow ALL new golf carts are being delivered
Beautiful backdrops of the mountains with snow.

This course was awesome! My roommate and I found a great deal on golfnow.com and booked the tee time right away. The course has a very unique design to it. Every hole is different. You have long, short, and in between.

Very friendly staff and helpful with my change of tee times that i made through GOLF NOW.

would have loved to get a cart because the course is quite long and hilly..But cost of cart was way to high so walked instead. Other then that, it is a fun rather hard course

The Resort Course at Eagle Crest offers up a good balance of challenge and playability. Shot strategy is important on several holes to keep hazards out of play or even put the ball on the fairway - Can you hit a draw? Go ahead and pull out the driver. No? Better go with a 3 wood or you risk carrying the fairway and playing a blind approach shot from ugly tall grass...... We've played here several times over the last few years and always enjoy it.

I got this tee time thru Golfnow it was a very good rate but starting at 1:40 pm in Central Oregon is not a good time to start
due to the temperature being in the 90's. The course is fairly challenging but was made somewhat easier because they had most of the tee boxes moved up one level.

Very nice course in excellent condition. Unique holes several with outstanding views

The Resort course at Eagle Crest is a good challenge for all but the very low handicappers. Even then the 10 and below need to be careful or they can get into trouble.
