Eagles Pride Golf Course - Green/Red

The course is very well put together especially considering they have 27 holes. I'm finally glad to see this course on golf now. The greens were in great shape and the fairways were very well manicured.

We started out the temp was 35 degrees. The fairways and even the greens were in really good shape; remembering this is the middle of the winter. The fairways were damp but very playable. The greens were mowed and had moderate speed. By the time with reached the 16th hole it started snowing. we had a great time.

I am an old Army guy who has played at what used to be the Fort Lewis Golf Course, now named "Eagle's Pride GC", since first stationed here in 1980. A number of years ago the Army decided to open this course to the general public, and it was a good move. While a majority of golfers have a connection to the military, the added revenue has helped Eagle's Pride to remain very well-maintained.
This course can play either benignly or malevolently, depending on which tees you choose, the weather, or how much luck you've got going for you. Local Knowledge comes in handy here, as some of the holes feature lurking hazards which aren't readily apparent to the uninitiated. There are lots of trees strategically placed to impede your ball, and the rough is truly that in many places. If you play conservatively, you'll be rewarded by an average score, but "Go Big" and you may need to buy more balls at the turn!
Pace of play is usually fast, with the majority of golfers using electric carts. The course marshal is often a retired Command Sergeant Major combat veteran, so you do not want to ignore his guidance!
The practice facility is a bit of a hike from the parking lot, but you can drive there if you wish. The driving range is real grass; there are several practice putting greens, and a very nice chipping/pitching area.
Greens fees are very reasonable. The restaurant is decent, again with very reasonable prices.
