EagleSticks Golf Club
About
EagleSticks Golf Club tumbles across gently rolling farmland situated just outside of Zanesville. The constant up-and-down characterizes the course from the rolling fairways to the undulating greens. The total elevation changes amount to more than 100 feet. The hilly terrain is adorned with pristine forests of oak, maple, ash, oak, and walnut trees. Cascading waterfalls can be found throughout the golf course as well. There are scenic views everywhere but don't let that distract you, the challenging layout requires your full attention. There are 90 bunkers strategically situated along the fairways and greens. It's not particularly long at 6,500 yards from the back tees, it's a golf course that instead favors accuracy over power. The par-5 11th is EagleSticks Golf Club's signature hole. Starting with a daunting downhill plunge, there is a creek that splits the fairway and a stream that runs alongside the left approaching the green.

Fast Greens
Just played in 2 Man Best Ball at EagleSticks Greens were lighting Fast, putted very true, but you better be below hole putting. Great Day, Great Weather,
Thanks for hosting such a great tourney
Incredible and challening
What a great course. Well manicured and very challenging. In a area where courses are turning into weed fields this place looks great!!!!
POOR CONDITIONS
If you are being truthful I really don't know how anyone is writing a good review of a course that is suppose to be one of the top 10 coursers in Ohio. I can think of many course better than this one. I looked so forward to playing this course and was extremely disappointed. Crabgrass growing on a host of tee boxes, some of them grassless with just mud or dirt to tee in. Sandtraps were like concrete (no sand) and the greens and fairways were in fair conditions in most places but still not in the top 10. The service gets all the talk but I went there for golf, not beer and lunch. Played there 2 days in a row but won't go back.
Worth the Drive
It takes an hour and half drive for us. But every vacation we head south to this course. The staff is just so friendly from the time you book your tee time till you leave the course for the day. The views are amazing, so scenic. Am anxious to return in the fall for the changing of the leaves colors. Love the different tee box elevations on the course. Enjoy the various bridges and streams through out. Just love this course!!! Only wish it were closer....
Sks,
We love your enthusiasm and we appreciate your comments but most importantly treasure your loyalty. Please come see us again soon. Please stop in and say hello on your next visit.

Great course and great people
Went on a weekend golf trip with a few of my buddies and booked the 9 star package. We couldn't have asked for anything better then the courses Kelly Morrow picked out for us. Eaglesticks is a top notch course from tee to green. I would highly recommend virtues as well. We will be back!!
Bill,
I can't tell you how much we enjoyed serving you and your group! Maybe you will do it again next week! LOL

Great Experience
This was our 1st time playing Eaglesticks but it won't be our last. We loved the course design despite it being a little cramped in a few places. The overall course condition was great, loved the slope and speed of the greens, with the one exception being the bunkers need some work. It was a lot of fun and well worth their normal rates. The staff was more than great. Everyone made an effort to ask us how our day was going and you can tell they really care about you having a positive experience. Can't wait to go back!
Doug,
We appreciate your comments so much! I am so happy that you enjoyed the Hurdzan design and the Zanesville charm. We appreciate your business, and we will never let up when it comes to trying to do all we can to make your experience great! Next time you are in, stop in and say hello.

Top notch experience...
EagleSticks is an extreme value. Course is a gem; always in great shape regardless of weather.
Staff is accommodating to needs of our medium sized golf group. If you want to host a successful golf trip contact 9 stars of golf through the eaglesticks website and they do the rest.
Perfect weekend getaway when home is only 1 hour away.
My group will be coming back for a long time.
Skinstowin,
Thanks so much for the great feedback. We will continue to go the extra mile for you! Hope to see you again soon.

The best golf weekend you will ever have!
Once again our group did our annual trip to Eaglesticks, and just like the years before they do not disappoint. We did a 2 night 54 hole outing and the price was a great deal. The course is awesome, the only thing better is the way you are treated. From the maintenance man all the way up to PGA professional Kelly Morrow the service is outstanding. Great restaurant/bar on premises and the food is great, they even offered to cater us a meal ! Whatever you need and however you want to arrange your trip simply call Kelly and he will make it happen. You won't find a better guy anywhere and he truly cares. He goes out of his way to come find you and make sure everything is the way want it. The hotel is close and nice and friendly staff. This is a trip you don't want to miss! Brian
Very nice course.
Because of lots of rain over the past few days, it was cart path only for play. Lot of walking because of the course layout and design.
Thanks for the feedback,
I must admit I was a little confused. Headline, "very nice course" pace excellent, staff excellent, etc. and then gave us three stars? Well, we will just have to up our game the next time you are in town. You are a tough cookie, but we will do what we can to win you over!

#7 in Ohio?
High expectations not met. #7 public course in Ohio per OhioGolf.com, plus I heard from another golfer, while I was playing The Virtues, that ES is better than The Virtues. Really? It must be a real gem, I'm going! And I did. By far not the worst course I have ever been on. Just VERY crowded with no starter or ranger managing tee times (why have tee times?) or pace of play. This is my biggest complaint. Otherwise, some nice holes and a couple very nice, scenic holes. Course was in good, not great, condition, decent pro shop and pretty nice clubhouse. Looked like the place to be on a Saturday night.I haven't played all of the courses on the list at OhioGolf.com, but to be ranked #7 and ahead of Stonelick Hills, that I don't understand.
Chris,
We appreciate you taking the time to tell us your thoughts. While we don't create the rankings, we do our best to live up to them. We agree that Stonelick Hills is a great track, but what we are concerned with is that we didn't meet your expectations. Based on your comments and the areas of your complaints, I thought that three stars was a little harsh, but hey, everyone needs a little dose of humility now and then. Based on comments and other reviews most times we are able to meet expectations, but in this case we failed and hope you will make a return trip so we can make it up to you. I invite you to call me personally to discuss how we might get you here again soon. __BTW we appreciate your comments about our golf shop and facility!

Worth the Trip
Go play this course right now! EagleSticks was A++ from beginning to end. The course is absolutely amazing and a great challenge, with thrilling and beautiful holes. The staff is the envy of every other public course. Followed a few foursomes as a 2 and still played in 4 hours flat. It's almost 3 hours away and I can't wait to go back.
Tsmithjr9,
On behalf of EagleSticks I can't say "Thank You" enough. You highlighted so many of the things that we strive for, and I am sure glad you appreciated the experience. Many times people give good reviews, but I read through many of your previous reviews, and you are fair but have a critical eye. The next time you are in, please take the time to introduce yourself to me. Thank you again,
Kelly Morrow

Great service and course with character
Decided to play on the way to Pittsburgh and didn't regret it. Great variety of holes and quick greens. Got around in 2.5 hours. Staff didn't hesitate to talk with you about whatever you wanted. Would definitely come back again.
dtownchris77,
I am so glad that you liked the experience we offer. Our staff aims to please, and we will do what we can to make your visit FUN!

A Track With Variety
Long and short holes, which are both challenging and fair, Lots of altitude changes in a beautiful setting, Nice greens that stimped at about 10, Female bartender at the bar upstairs had the personality of a wet dishcloth.
firstpumba,
Thanks for making the trip from Massillon. Our staff is very pleased that you enjoyed our course. We hope that we see you again in 2016!

A must play for Ohioans
My wife and I played the course yesterday. We'd always wanted to play it since it was part of the 9 stars of golf deal along with Virtues. The course was in super condition (minus a few bunkers) and the greens are where it's at! Super true and very respectable. Made a birdie on the short Par 4 7th so I was already happy! Seriously you won't be disappointed at this gem.
Ohio Golf Guy,
Thanks for all of the great comments, but a special thanks for posting the pictures of your day. We hope you will be back soon! When you return, please stop in and introduce yourself to me!
Pars and Birdies,

Beautiful course...
Great challenging course, beautiful views, difficult to find anything negative to say about it.
Douglas,
We hope that we will see you again soon! I always think that September is the best month to play "The Sticks". Please stop in and say Hello when you return.
Pars and Birdies,

Great Experience
I was looking for a course to play while I was in the area for a wedding and I am glad I stumbled upon Eagle Sticks Golf Club. My first time on the course was a great experience. The course was in great shape and the greens were rolling fast and consistent. The pace of play was a little slow, but seeing as I didn't have anything else to do, it didn't bother me and the weather was perfect for a round. It's a little short for me but it was still challenging enough as you can get into trouble by not hitting the fairway. The staff was awesome! After we finished we went in and talked to the Head Golf Pro Kelly for a while and he is a great guy! I would definitely recommend this course to anyone who is in the area!
Well, we are happy that you are happy. I am so happy to see that your experience reflects what we train our staff to provide, a good time! If I can ever help you out in the future, please let me know!
EagleSticks '16
Been playing here once a month for 10 years. Al-
ways look forward to playing EagleSticks. Visually
nice to play, challenging holes, and the grill room has good food in a nice setting.
We hope 10 years will continue for 20 more!
Eaglesticks always up to par
This trip will make a dozen times playing this beautiful course, every time we come to play the course is in prestine shape, staff is super friendly and the food is outstanding. Clubhouse is one of the best around. Cant find more Titleist clubs anywhere else! Come play Eaglesticks you will not be disappointed!
We appreciate your comments! We are so happy that we meet your needs and provide the experience you are looking for. Come see us again in 2016!
Great Course!!
I am from the area but moved away after college. Came back to visit family and decided to play a round and it is just as nice as I remembered it. The staff was amazingly friendly, the carts were great,, and the course was amazing. It is a hilly course so if you do not like to walk hills you will want a cart. Easy to get turned around on the course but they have markers to let you know if you are in the right place. I would definitely recommend this course for any level of golfer looking for a new place to play.
Rynodyrt,
I appreciate you taking the time to tell everyone how you feel about our facility! We strive to provide the type of experience you spoke of, and we hope you will be a client for years to come!
Great golf course
I have been taking my golf group to Eaglesticks for many years now. Kelly and his staff have always been great to deal with and very flexible in meeting the needs of our golf group. The stay and play package they offer with the Comfort Inn in Zanesville is the best deal I've seen in a long time. The golf course itself is very well maintained and always in immaculate condition. The multiple tee boxes offers varying degrees of difficulty and is suited for all golfers. I strongly recommend that if you haven't played Eaglesticks, you're missing out on a great experience
We always love seeing the folks from Pittsburgh! We appreciate you helping us spread the word!
Noticed both your reviews are one star. Have you played any good rounds of golf?
