Eagle Mountain Golf Club

My wife and I played today as a twosome behind a foursome. Pace of play was good, 3 1/2 hours, including several holes that were cart path only and the cart path being oftentimes a long hilly walk. The food was very good in the grill and very reasonably priced.

Eagle Mountain is, as advertized, in its usual spectacular shape. I played it as a single with two great local regulars (Lonnie and Ed) and we had a spectacular day in the searing heat despite the group that went out in front of us. More about that after the review. Eagle Mountain did a recent overhaul of the first and 14th fairways and they are both in better shape than when we played em in January. In fact all the fairway and tee-boxes were pristine and the greens had almost no ball marks and rolled fast and true. There were plenty of watering stations and the whole overall course conditions were spectacular. What concerns me is how, as a more upper-tier facility, Eagle Mountain chooses to employ just one players' assistant in the heat of the summer and to keep him stationed at the first tee. That nice big cooler of scented iced towels is useless at the club-cleaning area--it's ten steps to the nice cool washroom--it should be in the back of a marshall's cart roaming the fairways and keeping play moving just as it is around the corner at We-Ko-Pa.

I will close this review by noting that it never ceases to amaze me how inconsiderate a few of our fellow golfers can be in choosing their tee-boxes. We played behind a foursome with at least two members who needed to be on the forward tees, NOT PLAYING THE TIPS!! By 13 tee there were two and one-half holes open in front of them. That golf course was playing slow long after I had driven home and settled into my pool and there is just no excuse for that. Get a marshall out there, Eagle Mountain.

Course architecture was great. People nice. But putting greens were sorrowful inconsistent.

The staff was friendly at check in through putting the clubs in the car. The course is challenging but fair. This is one of my top 3 courses in AZ. I will be back.

Course is set up very forgiving off the tee. Greens are the undulating and hard to read. Pace of play was great. Enjoyed it very much and will be back

Good layout...lots of undulation in the greens. Good course conditions. Well maintained. Practice green speeds did not match course green speeds. Playable for all skills....

In great shape except for sand traps a little firm . Excellent course

The layout is great and the greens were rolling fantastic and fast

The only complaint is I ended up in 2 green side bunkers and there is NO sand in them

Be aware

Always love playing Eagle Mountain. Staff was stellar and changed our tee time when we got delayed by a road closure. Only negatives were the condition of the fairways (lots of bare and brown spots) and the pin placements on some greens. Those issues make it hard to give the course a high rating at this time.

Great design, amazing actually. The use of natural landscape is very unique and picturesque. Greens are great, rolled fast and true. Only downside is the fairways are very patchy, burnt on many holes. Everything else is great!

Eagle mountain was a fun golf course..definitely a nice course if you are still knocking the winter rust off. all the holes kinda funnel the ball towards the fairway and away from the desert. Greens were smooth and rolled well...definitely reccomend
