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.

Stunning Views

Really enjoyed my day at this first-class facility. Everyone -- from the starter to the cart girl to the folks loading and unloading your clubs -- was extremely friendly and thanked me for coming out. The course is absolutely beautiful with a great variety of holes. Beautiful homes to look at on every hole. Playable for folks of all skill levels. The only negative was the greens were very, very slow because of the overseeding.

The views on this course are awesome

plus the layout is very golfer friendly. Many of the tee-offs are elevated to generous landing areas. The greens because of overseeding were slow but I can imagine at top speed you could have your hands full putting. I am looking forward to playing this course again when its done with the overseeding as the fairways looked topnotch.

This course is in good shape

Played yesterday, got on earlier than tee time, had my own cart, course is clearly marked and I enjoyed the guy I was hooked up with. The green were a little slow but this was understandable considering overseeding

Great course. Unfriendly staff.

We we're excited to play and shocked at the same time. Course was great but our experience with everyone EXCEPT the two girls in the bar Sunday morning - was horrible. A bunch of arrogant boys with unnecessary attitudes.

Houses come into play; be warned.

Overall the course is good. Unfortunately, we were playing shortly after over-seeding, so the greens were terribly slow. The scenery was great; however, if your drive is not always down the middle you may not have trouble finding a large window for your ball to go through. Although I was fortunate enough not to inflict property damage, I could see how this could happen quite easily on this course. Carts didn't have GPS which was a bummer; although sprinkler heads were all well marked.
I'll try something different next time we're in town.

Great scenery, and forgiving.

The only issue was the greens, they were super long and felt like you were putting on a carpet.

Early in season

Overseeding was completed but was about 80% up to par. Course is excellent when 100%. Still it was a great course.

You should probably play here

Absolutely spectacular views, elevation changes and the largest saguaro cacti you have ever seen. Fair course, the ball tends to kick back towards the center of the hole but if it is is the desert good luck. Conditions are a bit short of pristine but the price reflects that. My only complaints is that houses are built a bit too close to the course for my liking. 4 1/2 stars

Beautiful views and lots of small wildlife

Very nice course with great views from the many elevated tees. The course was just over seeded but still in very good shape. As a mid level hackers we found the course moderate to challenging. Most holes were wide open and accommodating to a wide variety of shots. A few holes were challenging with tee shots over rocks and desert areas. Greens were slow but in good shape. Very enjoyable course.

Course in excellent condition and service was timely and efficient

A good challenge for all levels, greens are undulating and tricky. I wouldn't recommend Eagle Mtn for older players with any type of handicap, the hillyness is everywhere and walking up and down was a challenge for my older friends. Pace of play was way too slow.

One of my favorite Phoenix area courses for view, play and challenge.

Beautiful course, challenging for my handicap (shot 102), played as a single with a enjoyable threesome again, seems I always get paired with enjoyable players here. Phoenix has many great golf courses, but this course has to be one of my top 6 courses for scenic views.

Great Day

Played on a Sunday with my wife, niece, and her friend. Although they weren't frequent players, the course layout was great for them to not lose a ton of balls. The condition was great, some patches in the fairways where sod had replaced dead areas, and the greens were in good shape.
Overall, the coarse was great, scenery was fantastic, and value at $53 each was wonderful. This is definitely one of the most picturesque courses in the Phoenix area.
