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.

dangerous round of golf

After waiting years to finally play this golf course I was left disappointed. The starter ushered people off the first tee way to fast as the hole is blind so you can't see the group in front of you. We almost hit a player but we're told we must hit. We had a playing partner get hit by a drive on the same hole. We had to wait on every hole which is ok but on another hole the ranger made me hit which I then flew my drive over the group in front of me. I then got a lecture from another ranger for doing so. The cart service also stopped players in blind spots adding to the danger. I finally picked up and left after hole 15 because I was being pressured again to hit while people were only 250 yards out. Scary experience.

Nice Course!

This course was our second 18 in the middle of June so we may have enjoyed ourselves a bit more, but still a nice course. We were dragging you know what by the 36th hole :)

For summer AZ golf the course was in very good shape. Greens were in fantastic shape with enough elevation changes that you really had to think through the putts.

Plenty of water to drink on the course and it was COLD a big plus in the summer. Cart person was around often and no hard up sell, all we wanted was ice and it was delivered with a smile. Each cart had a towel and at the end of the course, they gave you a frozen mango scented towel to really cool down; a nice touch.

The only downside was for the money and since this is connected to a resort they should provide a yardage book. We played Desert Canyon on our first 18 of the day and they gave each a yardage book. For many of the holes on Eagle Mountain a yardage book would have been a value add. This was the only reason I dropped our rating from Excellent to Good. So if you don't care about a yardage book, consider our rating as Excellent.,

Undulating course

Good quality course however I prefer near level playing conditions. Good drives just slightly off line can result in a second shot made difficult with the ball placed on an incline.

Great value.

Always a treat to play @ Eagle Mtn. Course was in great shape for the summer. Its nice to play a course where you can miss left and right and still have the ball come back into play. Greens were rolling well, just wish people would fix ball marks!

Sunday's round

My usual Sunday group wanted to play Eagle Mountain as we had not in some time. Course conditions were OK to good with obvious summer stress. We always enjoy the play here and will certainly return and recommend!

Greens excellent -- but challenging!

The course was in very good shape. The greens have lots of breaks, so you may have to play it several times to get the hang of them

Excellent layout

Excellent layout with great greens but fairways are in average to poor shape especially given the course's rep. Played with 2 other singles and had to wait on every hole for the foursome in front of us. Got a great deal on Golfnow but will not be returning to play course again soon because of the above items.

Loved it - I got a hole-in-one!

The views were great, the course was in good shape and the pace of play was good! I got a Hole-in-one on hole number 5 ... 94 yds. with an approach club! This was my second hole-in-one .. I got one on hole #3 at the Whirlwind golf course in Chandler, Az in 2007!

nice layout

Reminds me of a resort type of layout. Fairways are wide, bowl type but rolling hill areas on the edges if you don't center the drive. Large Greens rolled well and good speed.

Wore out my camera

I think this is the most beautiful course I've ever played. Lots of elevation changes, fun and scenic holes. Not punishing though, as the contours tend to bring your ball back toward the middle of the fairway. Much different than nearby Sunridge Canyon in that regard. Do not miss playing here, especially for a great summer rate.

very nice playable course but not user friendly

very pretty course with lots of elevation changes,bunkers were good, fairways pretty nice but still some ratty areas, chips don't like to jump up to the green, almost all fairways will bring the ball towards the center from one side, very playable,greens seemed medium speed and you have to keep in mind the mountain effect,staff was very helpful, it helps to play with someone who has played there before,i would only play there in the off season due to cost, and last but not least,this course is not for someone with orthopedic issues, since there is lots of walking up and down severe slopes to and from the greens and some tees
