Eagles Pride Golf Course has long been known as one of the best military courses in the country and luckily for golfers, it's open to the public. Originally opened in 1940, the course started as the 18-hole Fort Lewis Golf Course. Another nine was added in 1979 but it wasn’t until the mid-1990s that it became Eagles Pride. The three nines are called the Green, Red, and Blue, and they are played in different 18-hole combinations. The Green/Red Course starts with the newest and most challenging of the three nines. The course will test you with plenty of trees, water hazards, undulating slopes, and even the occasional blind shot. There are some tough holes but players of all skill levels could enjoy any of the nines.

Previously known as Green/Red at Fort Lewis Golf Course.

Great course, very slow play

Love this course, but pace of play is almost always a problem. The problem yesterday was a group of older players that refused to play faster. The Marshall told us it was a language and cultural issue communicating with them. One of the biggest issues we have in the PNW is slow play from “certain cultures”.

Eagles Pride?

It pains me to write this because I love this track. I've been playing it since I was a kid and it has several really unique holes and never gets old. But it just seems like it has fallen on hard times. Things are overgrown. Retaining walls falling down. Cups looked like they hadn't been changed in days. On course bathroom facilities closed for maintenance. Kind of a big deal since the 10th tee is not close to the clubhouse. Long time to go without using the restroom unless you just want everyone going in the woods. Restaurant/bar was a ghost town. Not sure if funding is the issue but with the resurgence of golf in the COVID era I would hope this place can survive and thrive. Really disappointed.

Awful experience. Unprofessional

We had a 10:12 tee time, didn’t tee off until 10:30. Not a big deal, it’s a Saturday. We’re putting on 4 at noon and the ambassador pulls up belittling us on our slow play. I pointed out the group ahead was still on the tee box, how could we be the issue if we’re waiting on the group in front?

He changed his tone and blamed his boss for booking a tournament and needed us off the red course before it started. He told us we had to move to the green but we could play it twice to make up for it. Thanks

We started again at 12:30, finished the first 9 around 3. There was a lot of waiting due to the green course being packed with us non tournament . At the turn we started to walk to the clubhouse for food and was promptly stopped by a groundskeeper who just got off his radio. Because of how busy it was, if we got food we couldn’t play the back 9. “Sorry you probably feel like you’re being punished but we have a course to look after and keep the speed up and also the kitchen is closed for the tournament”.

I won’t be returning, it was one of my favorite in the area.

Amazing Course

This was an amazing course and absolutely beautiful. It was much harder than anticipated but we enjoyed the challenge. Enjoyed the long par 5’s and the mix of par 3’s. (Long and Short). I would definitely recommend this course to others and if I lived closer would consider a membership here.

Good value year around

Play here a few times a month and enjoy it almost every time. Not much water or devastating hazards, so take that however you want.

I enjoy this place and it has good practice facilities including a grass driving range (during the summer).

After the rain

The course,the greens and the cart paths all in great shape considering our PNW wet spring.As good if not better than the last time I played, which was five years ago.

The courthouse staff are always friendly and helpfull.

Unfortunately due to current circumstances the dining and bar were understaffed.

Over all a great day of rainny golf.

Played good

The coarse, staff, greens and phase of play was great. I was put with a three some, one of the guys was pretty slow, so our pass of play was slow. I felt I had to hurry my shot in order not to have the ones behind us be held up.

Don’t over pay!

First the staff in the clubhouse was really nice. The starter in the red blue course was the worst!!!! He had a horrible attitude and really tried to argue with me and my playing partners. The course was backed up really bad and he acted like we arrived to our tee time late. We waited at every hole for at least 10 min including the first tee. Round took over 5 hours.

This was one of the worst golf courses I’ve ever played. This course was not in good condition at all. The fairways had tons of weeds and wasn’t cut well. I had lies in the fairway, that looked like most second cuts. The course is too big to maintain. I get this, but you have to reward good shots. The rough was super overgrown and some greens had been punched and had overgrown. All of the greens had been punched at different times, so the greens were inconsistent. (Nothing posted about greens being punched) The holes were very wacky. Not the worst set up, but not great.

Not sure if they really care much about the customers. Please don’t pay full price for this course. This is a place to play a practice round or just hit and giggle with no expectations.

Nice older course.

Being early in the year the course, expecially the greens are not in the best shape. There are a lot of altitude changes so walking the course was strenuous

Nice track

Eagle's Pride is a nice older course that is in very good shape. There are a lot of elevation changes and side hill lies. The starter was very accomodating and we played 18 holes in under 4.5 hours. There is a lot of distance between greeens and the next tee box and some of it is quite hilly.

Regarding Golf now: Tree of us played and the base preice was $24.99 each added to the cost for us all were two $10+ fees totalling $97+. I was surprised to see this. As a veteren I can play this cpurse for $27.
