Rating 73.1

Located just 20 minutes south of Tacoma, Eagles Pride Golf Course in Fort Lewis is one of the area's best golfing values. Originally opened as the 18-hole Fort Lewis Golf Course in 1940, it soon became known as one of the best military courses in the country but it's also open to the public. Another nine was added to the layout in 1979. The three nines, known as the Red, Blue, and Green, are played in different 18-hole combinations. The Red/Blue Course is the original layout. The classic design is player friendly but at the same time challenging with an abundance of trees lining the fairways and greens as well as tricky elevation changes that make it tough to find a flat lie. Each hole offers plenty of variety.

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

Tough course for first timers

Overall this was a great experience. The course is quite narrow on many holes and knowing where to land the ball for the next shot is crucial. Therefore, it might be harder for first timers to score the corse. The greens were in good shape. The extra touch was the restaurant, which served one of the best burger I have had. The staff was extremely friendly. I would definitely go back there if I will be in the neighbourhood.

Bottom line, good value for money and nice experience.

Good course, slightly confusing layout.

We enjoyed a mid morning round, started with a twosome, then on the fly they added a third to our two. Worked out fine, the third person was helpful finding our way around the course.

AMAZING!

Totally awesome experience, very impress with the care of the golf course. Although the access is unlimited, there were very few players on the course. Awesome experience, especially for the value.

Trees, water and terrain

Tree lined fairways with a number of challenging holes make this course a little harder when you play it for the first time. Local knowledge really helps with knowing where to hit a drive to set up a second shot. A couple of doglegs are particularly difficult if you hit down the wrong side of the fairway. Our only complaint was a crabby and silly course marshall who blustered to us about pace of play. We waited 5-7 minutes on each tee and were not able to move faster yet he acted like we waited too long to tee off. He was the only unpleasant thing we experienced that day.

Fantastic

Course was in awesome shape with awesome weather. Greens were fast but can be faster. Only hiccup was kind of slow in the front so we jumped to the Green course on the back and flew right through. Playing partner putted right off the green on a couple of holes. Fun fun fun!

Can't beat layout and value

Other than the pace of play, every thing else was great. The new restaurant tastes great as well.

Eagle pride

It was a nice course, but hard to see with sun in eyes also it is a very narrow course also very lengthy. Strongly recommend getting a cart. I feel price of course including cart. Was a little on the high side. Especially for the conduct of the staff. They were very slow getting us out to course and other members there were rude in my opinion. For it being first time there in quite some time and my playing mate that’s never been there. They treated us as if we never played s round of golf before. And at one point my friend was told by the Marshall on the coursehe could not use his phone while playing there. Even know the call he received was very important. Also we’re rushed by other golfers hitting into us as we played. A lot to be desired there by members and staff in form of hospitality and golf etiquette!!!! Would like to go back cause it was a very challenging course. It only if they drop price and I hear staff is better mannered!

Decent round

Decent round of golf it's a nice enjoyable Saturday unfortunately got paired with two slow guys so it took 5 hours to play a round so pace-of-play was slow.

Great challenge at a great price

This course is more difficult than its rating. The trees lining the fairway make straight drives a must. There are tiered greens that make putting a challenge. There is a dogleg left hole that requires a 250 yard drive to turn the corner to make par and a 590 yard par 5. All this at a bargain price.

New Changes to Course are Terrific

This is the first time I have played Eagles Pride since they made changes to the Blue Course. What an upgrade to the course. The new par three is within distance of my clubs and my wife's. The sand bunkers were perfect. The next hole was well laid out as well. This definitely speeds up play. And finally, on hole 17, the course management finally cut down those pesky trees sitting on the corner which always prevented me from aiming for the green. The course has spent some real cash for great improvements.

Master Chief Approved

I was a little critical a couple years ago while reviewing this course as there was some issues. I have played a couple times here since the beginning of the year and compared to two years ago, much improved. The greens were punched a couple week back but have healed very well. Having three 9 holes allows them to stagger and keep the course open. The rain held off to allow myself and another gentleman to walk the Red and Blue in just under 3 1/2 hours. The Sam Adams Brewhouse is now open. Excellent food and beverages.
