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.

Eagle's Pride for Sure !
Very nice course, accuracy a must. Don't care for the long grass, best to hit in the short grass !
Has Everything!,
This course has everything a golfer cud want,blind holes long holes,on and on!, I found it to be a very good Challenge,,worth every bit of the green fees..If U only walk flatter courses ...then better get a cart!,..LOL..I have golfed this course 3 x's now and have enjoyed each one..I also luv the grass driving range,,really let's U no just how well U R hitting the ball..not like the matts..which R very forgiving...I drive from Burien to play this course and use the driving range..and don't mind the drive at all..because I no it will be a good day of practice and Golf..
Golf, cart, and lunch for one price
Greens, fairways, and tee boxes in great shape. Grounds crew do a good job to keep the unplayable areas marked and defined. They could do a better job of keeping rocks out of the bunkers. Rocks the size of marbles and golf balls should not be in bunkers. Restaurant could use more help.
Bar Closed
Played 18 under 4 hours. Not having played this before, it was a bit challenging. Several holes required a drive up the fairway before hitting second shot. Next time should be a little better. Before we began our round we had a nice lunch (included with green fee). On the door of the restaurant, the bar hours were shown to be open until 6:30. When we finished around 4:00 pm, the bar was CLOSED. We were so disappointed.
Difficult but fun
We have golfed here before and it is always a challenge but has good open fairways if you keep on the target. We always enjoy it. You get your monies worth.
Will play again
The course was very long and challenging. We had to use temporary tee boxes but the new tee boxes looked like they were just about ready and beautiful. The greens are very SLOW which made it quite difficult judging breaks. Can't wait to play it again.
Very scenic course carved out through the woods.
This course is challenging, but also gives you opportunities to score well from the fairways. Needless to say stay out of the trees. The greens however are very inconsistent. Very slow in places even on downhill putts, and then there would be one much faster. Hard to consistently judge your speed.
Nice!
Very nice course, not sure why the food service was not open but could have used some dinner at 6 pm, and no beverage cart, but other than that great place.
Challenging
Fun course ... greens were pretty fast but had several damaged spotty areas. Got a deal on Golfnow, great price!
A Fun Course to Play
I always enjoy playing Eagles Pride. It has a good amount of challenge and is always in great shape.
enjoyable course
enjoy playing this course, however it was raining throughout most of the round
course making improvements for the better.
Noticed new tee box improvements on some holes.
When the greens are doubled rolled, putts run true.
Variety of holes cause one to use all clubs in the bag.
Play it forward or bring your '"A" game from the back tees.
fairways were in great shape ; could shave or clear more brush on the sides of fairway to improve playability and improve time for a round.
Greens were not really putting true on this day.
Nice practice area.
Unless a single it is best to make prior tee times.
Good Value, Beautiful Grounds
Fun and challenging lay out. Still a little soggy at mid-April. Greens weakest part of the course, and too many blind shots for my taste. Course knowledge a plus.
awesome course!
The only reason 4 stars instead of 5 was because the greens had been punched 2 weeks previous and weren't fully healed yet (almost). I would play this course anytime! The grooming was very good (for April). Staff was friendly and accommodating too! Could become my favorite course!
Best in the spring.
The course is playing their winter format. So if you are not aware if where to go you can get sidetracked. Better to ask the staff as they don't volunteer this information.
The course was a little muddy but in great shape for the amount of rain.
Better in the Spring because in the Summer you run into a lot of hard pan after it's dried out for awhile.
Many blind shots.
very hilly course, I would recommend riding unless you are in very good shape or very young.
Fun course, right price.
Eagles pride couldn't be easier to find, the clubhouse/pro shop are very nice and new, and the facilities were in pretty good shape. They only run one 18 hole during the winter and 27 holes during the summer. The course has it's challenges and it inexpensive. Definitely worth the trip.
This is a long course
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.
eagles pride
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.
Eagles Pride: It's Not Just For Military Golfers!
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.
