The layout of the course is interesting, challenging and features perfectly manicured lush, rolling fairways. You'll be glad you experienced this excellent combination of hole designs and truly great golf. Water comes into play on 10 holes.

Bring your game

This is a good and tough course. It’s a fun course to play. There are no “catch your breath holes. I urge you to play the tee boxes that fit your game. The foursome in front of us. We’re at least two hole behind. Because they were playing from tees that were beyond their skill level. We were waiting on them on every hole.

Thank You for taking the time to put in a review. The Sandy greens you were referring to was a course maintenance day where they top dress the greens. Most courses do this a couple times a year. Sorry the staff did not relay that message to you prior. We will work better to communicate that to our guests in the future. Hope to see you back at EH in the near future :)

Great course, Best Staff, The Clubhouse is like a museum

Have you ever wanted to step back into a 1970 country club that has been managed meticulously to retain its original feel? That's the club house!

The course, IS BEAUTIFUL! Hard angles, manageable amounts of water, some longer fairways, great condition

The staff is among the friendliest I've ever encountered.

Every trip to the area includes a round at EH!

Good but not worth the full price

Nice course, very basic layout. Found it overpriced. Convenient location otherwise I'd play somewhere else.

Slow play ruined an otherwise enjoyable day

Title says it all. no marshall’s on the course, waiting on every tee box added about an hour to the round. Great challenging course but impossible to get in a rhythm. If you like long (like really long) challenging courses you will like this course - just be ready to spend up to 5 hours on the course.

Thank You for your review. We're sorry that this happened. Please feel free to contact the Proshop if this should happen here at EH or any course so we can get our Course Rangers or Starters involved with pushing people around. Our course expectation is 4 hours and 15 minutes as it is very challenging for most. We hope to see you at EH in the near future.
