It’s always fun at EH

It’s challenging, yea. Its greens run. Fairways are usually in good shape. Hole 6 is a lot of fun. Definitely a good round if you can get it for a discount ($149 is kinda nuts).

Great Track

Played here several times, and you can bite off as much as you want with the tee offerings here. However, the winds when up and the greens are the true defense here, Greens were in great shape and fast. Interesting layout and several forced approaches really test you. Lastly, a huge shoutout to the starter and cart staff, very accommodating and had some great support/interaction with both. Will definitely be back again!

Enjoyed Experience

I enjoyed the course. Greens were spectacular. Tee times were messy as we had to wait 20+ minutes on the first tee. Overall I enjoyed the course and would definitely play again.

SLOW PLAY

The course has an awesome layout, challenging holes, great greens but the pace of play is terrible. A local that was playing behind us told us that is always how it is. The started, who was very friendly, asked if we were ready and sent us out to the first tee. When we go to the tee there was a 2some that had just teed off, a foursome on the tee box and us as a 2some. When we were ready to tee off, we looked behind us and there was a 3some and foursome waiting. Never once seen a ranger and the local said they just don't care about the pace of play. If they fixed that issue, I would have given this course 5 stars across the board.

Superior Layout

This is a classic Bruce Devlin/ Robert Von Hagge design that has stood the test of time. It is a classic Florida layout. Be forwarned - chose the appropriate tees as this is a very challenging course with very high slope ratings from the various tees.
