Rating 71.4

Designed by Scott Miller, this course is located in the southeastern foothills of the McDowell Mountains and is an innovative departure from the “target” style courses constructed in the desert in the recent past. Its layout takes advantage of a variety of land features: rolling hills, ridgelines, lush valley and washes, with a backdrop of prominent mountain outcroppings. In many instances, long extended views into untouched desert landscapes and area landmarks, such as Camelback Mountain, will be afforded. It is a strategic design, which asks the player to make choices relative to skill level.

The greens were horrible

I paid $100 to play this course and the greens weren’t even greens. It was like putting in the desert. I loved the other aspects of the course just feel like I got screwed out of a $100 unfortunately

Has potential, but terrible conditions

Love the course layout, beautiful Mountain View’s, nice elevation changes. Terrible conditions, almost all the greens were pretty much unplayable with huge patches going through most greens. Fairways were decent, but lots of dirt and patches. Bunkers were rough, but they are going to bunker renovations so hopefully that gets better. For a troon course, I expected so much more.

Greens

The greens had a major issue and are the worst I've ever seen. A couple of employees said they had some "blight". They have painted many of them green but in a lot of cases you are putting on what is essentially hard wood flooring. There is no grass in many parts or it's brutally clumpy. It's not worth $10 playing here until they get it back in shape. The fairways were below average as well. I really like this place but call ahead before booking.

The greens were horrible. I understand a few greens in the summer may be dried out but 15 of the 18? Unacceptable for the price

Thank you very much for your feedback. We want you to know that our agronomic team is working tirelessly to get the golf course back to the exceptional conditions Eagle Mountain Golf Club is known for. The issues experienced are short term and we are seeing improvements in the conditions each and every day as we transition from the winter ryegrass to the strong warmer season Bermuda turf. We also

embarked upon a course enhancement program in May that will include a bunker renovation and other turf/agronomic cultural practices that will enhance the agronomic concerns you raised and enhance playability in many other ways. Again what you experienced is not the norm and we are excited about the future as well as the current results we are seeing from the new agronomic practices already being implemented to enhance/elevate conditions. Should you have additional questions/concerns please reach out to info@eaglemtn.com so we can learn more about your experience. Thank you again for your feedback.

Poor Course Mgmt

GREAT COURSE LAYOUT. So many burned out areas in fairways they couldn’t mark as “ Ground Under Repair “. Greens so Burned Out we had to invoke “Max 2 Putts” LUMPY & BUMPY

Yikes

Played June 2021. Don’t PLAY even if they give you a free round.

Find a new greens keeper ASAP. This is by far the worst greens I’ve ever played. Such a beautiful course ruined by un-puttable greens. The staff has sorts of excuses why their so bad. STOP, no more excuses. It never rains in Phx, turn on the water like the other courses do.

Greens are need to be replaced

My wife and I enjoy this course a lot and we played it a few times but this weekend when we played course is in need of desperate repair. The greens were so bad it looked as if they painted it green. Areas around the green dried up in crackling and the sand traps were so dried up that you couldn’t even make a mark and then with your shoes.

The views are amazing and the layout is very fun to play we were looking so forward to playing this course and walked off very disappointed.

Blight Issues on Every Green

We were told a by starter that a couple of greens had blight. That was not correct EVERY Green had blight! Holes 17 & 18 had construction equipment actively working on course in line with greens. Worst was full price was charged...I have played this course over the years. This time was the worst condition ever...Would like a refund!

Normally great, but greens were in terrible shape

Ordinarily love this course but greens were bumpy and looked terrible. A drink, food or replay voucher would have been nice to make up for the conditions.
