Eagles Pride Golf Course - Red/Blue
About
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.

Twice through 9 on green course
Late evening booking, and I was told the other two 9 hole courses were closed for an 18 hole tournament - so play my 18- I was asked to play the green 9 hole course twice. Had a good time.
Customer Service needed
I have played this course over 15 times from June to September of 2015. I really enjoy this course and consider it one of the best public courses in the Olympia/Lacey area. It has a unique, undulating setting that is secluded from road noise (Once you're past hole 3) and has no houses lining the fairways or greens. At times you feel as if you're hiking through a forest. I do recommend playing this course to anyone who has not played it yet.
As muhc as I enjoy this course I have been disappointed the last 2 times I've played here. My first bad experience happened in late August 2015 when I showed up to the course and the guy at the front counter asked, "What do you need?". I let him know that we had paid for a tee time on GolfNow.com for 2 people at 4:30 pm. He brusquely asked, "Is your partner here?". I assured him my playing partner would be there by the time we were scheduled to tee off, at which point he informed me, "you're getting a cart with this, but you need to have the cart back by 7:30". I said that shouldn't be a problem. As I got into a cart and began pulling away he came out the front door and said that's not your cart, I gave you a different number. I said I was told by the cart guy last time I was here that I was to just grab any cart, that it didn't matter which number it was. He asked me who it was and so I described the guy as the older Asian guy who takes the carts in at night. He proceeded to tell me there was no Asian guy who worked here. I told him there was (I've seen him there almost every time I play the course in the late afternoon for the past year), but decided to drop the subject and find the cart with the correct number. As I was getting into my "correct" cart he told me, "The Asian guy doesn't run this place so don't listen to him." I said, "Ok" as I drove away to get my round started. We finished by 6:45 p.m.
The very next time I golfed there (9/9/2015 at 12:56 p.m.) I got caught in traffic due to an accident on the Freeway. I called 30 mins prior to my tee time to let them know I would probably not make it there until just after my tee time due to traffic. I was told by a guy on the phone that they would have to try to fit me in somewhere if that was possible. So, now I'm thinking they have a full tee sheet for the afternoon. We happened to make it to the course right at our tee time and wouldn't you know it was the same guy as before. We got our cart and were able to start our round about 5 minutes late. There were no golfers on the course ahead of or behind us that we could see. The course was recently sanded for the coming rain/cold months so the fairways were pretty heavily sanded and made the play a little less enjoyable than normal.
With those experiences aside I still really enjoy this course and look forward to playing it every time I go there. The customer service could be better, but it's definitely worth the drive.
Starters wanted
I have played this course many times and it is always challenging and enjoyable. On the day that this review is being written for was a day a little different. It was Friday 4 September 2015. The only issue I had that day was the lack of a starter. There was a group of 4 in front of my group of 4 and a group of 4 behind us. There was also a single (Steve) that had the same tee time as I did. All three groups... And Steve were at the tee box at the same time. There was no starter present to organize the gaggle. Needless to say, we worked it out and all teed off with minimal drama; although a stater present would of eliminated the need for me to "take charge" and hopefully not upset anyone.
Great golf course though.
Eagles Pride review
Fun course, played wit 3 buddies. Pace was pretty good. Greens are probably the toughest part of the course. several elevated Tee's make things fun also. Overall, fun course to play.
Sad
I've played this course many times in its hayday and I'm sad to see the course in poor shape.Greens are inconsistent, fairways spotty, general beauty is not what it used to be.
Fabulous
Heat wave has hurt the conditions some, but we had a great time.
Beautiful scenery and challenging course.
Absolute bargain.
Backed Up
when to practice putting green and saw 16 people waiting to tee off. I went into clubhouse and asked why would they put so many players in front of me when I had made a tee time earlier in the day. Very disappointing pace of play. First hole took 35minutes! Course marshals need to be more active in keeping the pace of play up to normal speed and the pro shop needs to be more aware of letting too many golfers out in a short amount of time.
Like the greens and length of course.
Had a great time and enjoyed the length of the course. The greens were in great shape. Will definitely play this course many times more.
Horrible pace and customer service
Charged me for s scone set of clubs. Was going to share with my brother while riding a cart because I flew in. Would not budge on charging me because it slows pace of play. We waited at least 10 mins on every shot. Ranger and manager questioned if we knew how to play golf. Way over priced too
Course is in great shape
This is a fun course. Fairways and greens are in good shape, even with the really hot weather. It is pretty far from green to tee so renting a cart is a good idea. Folks in the pro shop are excellent. Great value. I highly recommend this course.
Great Golf Now Value
Normally a course to play when I'm feeling on top of my game, finding Eagle's Pride on Golf Now for $10 made the decision of where to play easy. The afternoon tee time meant that it was also not very crowded. If you haven't played here, be prepared for some length and some challenge.
Fair Day
Course was in poor shape and greens were slow in comparison to other area courses. Pace of play was very slow and no course Rangers were on duty appearantly?
Disappointed in pace of play
Occasionally like to play JBLM, expecting toget done in 4 hrs. A foursome, a twosome and I heard a foursome in front of these groups had us waiting on practically every hole. Not my idea of having fun. Where was the players asst to control pace of play? Plus an enormous amt of water was being placed on course to keep it green...I understand why, but no roll in fairway and greens were soggy and slow.
A fun round
Course was in very good conditions. Greens were a little slow and some early afternoon watering did effect some putts or all phases would have been excellent.
Not the most friendly pin placements on this day, but made for some challenging shots.
Eagles Pride is a longer course for a 15-handicapper, but the pace of play has always been good and it moved long great on this day.
This course is long and will challenge all levels of play
We have a regular foursome and we golf this course at least once a year. Every time we find new ways to get ourselves into trouble. The course makes you think before your shot as it has fairly wide fairways but the natural undulation of the course will put your ball in not such a great place if you are not careful. Many elevation changes to make club selection a must. The 18th hole (which was a par 6 for ladies) is a great finishing hole that makes you want to come back and try again to beat the course. We Love the course even if we get our serving of humble pie just about every time.
New design of number 12 is excellent.
Hot summer day in 90s. Course has lots of shade and everything looked great. The only thing that I think would make course better is if they could make greens faster. This course always seems to have slow greens .
Hit em straight or pay the toll
Course in great shape. Greens were difficult because of the contour but surfaces were perfect. Fairways in great shape. We are seniors so played the senior tees and had a great round of golf.
Pretty course
Although the front nine's fairways could've used a closer mowing, I'm sure that it was due to the hot weather that they kept it longer....Back nine(green) was better maintained, holes were very challenging, and greens putted true.....Large, generous and tricky greens.....Would put on my play again list, and would include the red couse this next time.....
