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.

Poor Condition

The Fairways were dry and the greens were in poor condition. I like the layout.

I heard they stopped watering to transitioning into the Burmuda.

What happened?

Played a few years ago and loved course. Now won't be back. I thought this was a premier course in the valley but not now, Greens and fairways had brown and dry spots everywhere. Greens were hard as concrete with no check even with full wedges. Sand traps only had a top layer of sand in the bottom and then hardpan underneath. Was not even worth the twilight rate.

Concrete greens, scorched fairways

This course has potential but has not been well maintained. Course is scorched, greens were like putting on concrete. Good layout, nice clubhouse. Do not recommend for the price with so many other nice courses in the area.

Loved the course lay out.

The course played like I was a member here getting good bounces back to the fairway. I am a 15 handicap and played well here. My wife is a 35 handicap and she enjoyed the course the way it played. We will definitely play the course over and ever again.

Really enjoyed the course. Scenic and very nice layout. Holes #10 and #18 really standout. Fairways generous with consistent mounding adjacent to the fairways to help keep you in play. Greens rolled great-fast and sometimes difficult to read due to the valley. Would love to come back.

Eagle Mountain review 3/16/21

Breakfast beforehand was good. Pro shop was relatively small. 1st cart had no juice from the very beginning. Starter got us a 2nd one on the first tee which had plenty of juice, but the seat was patched in numerous places. Played with a very nice couple. Course had great views, but the turf was very poor in lots of places. Not too long, but VERY difficult greens and several really penal pin placements.Access to the greens from the cart path was very challenging : lots of very steep climbs, most without steps.

Challenging layout, fairways were just ok, greens were sanded. With a little TLC this track could be very good.
