Eagles Pride Golf Course - Blue/Green

I have been wanting to play Eagles Pride since I started playing again this summer. Made it out yesterday as part of what is becoming my regular 3-some and really enjoyed the day.

This course is gorgeous. It was in very good shape and is far more challenging than any of the other courses that I have played in the South Sound area, so far at least. Many of the holes have tight fairways, the rough was deep and very hard to get out of, and many of the greens have undulations that can lead to some very interesting putts.

As I mentioned in my title, I won't walk this course again. Many of the holes have a long, and elevated walk from green to the next tee. In many ways it reminded of the typical housing development layout of courses in Arizona without all the houses along each fairway.

For those using GPS, we had three in our group, two by Bushnell and one from Sky Caddie, and on two of the holes on the Blue course the GPS data is out of date. It appears that they recently redesigned two of the holes, and par 3 and a par 4 and my best guess is that they flip flopped them. Aside from that, the GPS devices were dead on.

I highly recommend this course, there are some very pretty holes and I love the "out in the woods" feel that you get on almost every hole.

Great course, greens are in excellent condition and well maintained, sand traps are near ideal conditions and the fairways are groomed to great standards

The course is amazing for the cost! The lady at the front desk was very rude! I played 36 holes... I set up a tee time through golf now, obviously. It was for 3 people. One of my friends got into a car accident on the way and couldn't make it. I don't know if this is typical protocol but she told me that she would still charge me through golf now for the player that didn't make it... the course was empty and I thought they should be happy with our business but I guess not... also no water available! Had to buy water from her. At the turn a new guy was at the desk and he gave us 6 bottles of Costco water for free! Again great course and had a blast but not the friendliest of staff... an hr drive from my house!

Course was in good shape. Play was fluent all the way. Really did a good job on play. No food was lame but there building a brew house so i can live with that. I paid $50 for 2 of us walking on a Saturday at 9 am. That's a pretty great deal.

So first 9 was on the red course after some confusion between the course staff and golfers...got stuck behind a foursome for the first 5 holes till they saved us through. Got the front done in about two hours...pro shop guy said you have till 8...we got it done.

Friendly and accommodating staff. Wonderful course.

I'd not played here in a few years. They've been doing work. The 12th green has been rebuilt. The 14th is now a par 3 15th now a par 4 - a great improvement that is still growing in. But the greens rolled as true as I've ever seen them roll. Tremendous value. Course plays tougher than its 118 rating - the trees create narrow shoots in many places.

With Hot Deal, it was lower than the usual military rate that I pay. Although I live in Seattle and have to drive the distance it is still worth playing there.

Nice fast greens. Unfortunately, the blue 9 won't be open until July. I realize there should be a penalty for missing a fairway, but on green course #6, the rough was almost up to my knees. That will really slow down play while players search for their errant shot.

We played on Sunday morning. The front nine was a bit crowded but pace of play was good. We only waited on 2 holes. The back nine was wide open as a number of golfers in front of us only played 9 holes.

Course is long and narrow, with beautiful old growth trees making it a challenging course. Restaurant is being re-modeled but will not re-open until fall we were told making food and drink selections very minimal in the pro shop.

elephant grass it's by far the worse I have seen on a golf course we accidentally hit it in there to drop the ball because you'll never find 18 inch high elephant kind of disappoints the play
