Eagle Mountain Golf Club

My regular Thursday group likes to play Eagle Mountain if/when the green fees are not too much. The course is an excellent par 71 layout and a good challenge. We play most of the Maricopa County courses during the year inclucing the more exclusive ones during the summer when the rates are lower. For a variety of reasons Eagle Mountain is one of our favorites.

A great test of golf. Lots of elevation changes, heavy rough, contoured greens with subtle brakes and great views of the valley. One of my favorites in Scottsdale.

The heat on AZ took its toll on parts of the course, however that was minor. Overall the fairways were very good to hit off and the greens sped up as they dried from the prior night's monsoon. Yes it rained hard the night before. The pace of play was good (no one in front of us). Play it again? ABSOLUTELY!!!

Beautiful course but a bit challenging though. We played from the green tees measuring around 6200 yds. but the course played considerably longer than that. Absolutely no roll in the fairways or rough. Sidehill roughs are expected to roll the ball back into the middle of the fairways but if you land in there, thick grass will catch the ball and you would be faced with an extremely challenging sidehill lie. It happens on almost all Par-4s and Par-5s. Ultra fast green with no ability to hold the approach shots. There will be several 3 puts and may even get 4 putts.

Aside all that, absolutely stunning, beautiful golf course. Fairway grass could use some help though. New sod has been put in place of dry patches, but too much water everywhere.

Course is in great shape and fairways are plenty wide.

has a great layout and many different hole setups.......

The course had a great layout. The only issues were the houses on the course were very close to the cart path. I imagine the house are hit frequently.

I would play again given the chance.

very nice course. me and a buddy played on a monday and the back 9 was closed. it was actually kinda fun playing the front twice. the fairways and greens were in great shape. a few elevated tee's makes it fun and the views are awesome. will definitely be back.

The course is known for it's thick grasses, challenging rough and endless hills, dales and other assorted uneven lies. It does have some very pretty views of the surrounding mountains and the valley. Most of the course is situated inside of a canyon in one the nicest parcels in Fountain Hills. I HIGHLY suggest you do yourself a favor the first time you play it, and move up a set of tees. The course plays longer than the card and is very unforgiving to the errant shot. That being said, it is a track I personally like a lot because it is such a challenge. Even in the heat of summer, this course is usually in great shape. They did pick up a little burn out in the fairways this year, however they immediately hit them with new sod, So take a drop out of the GUR and good luck putting those greens. The breaks are pretty tough to read and the speed can vary a bit more than you realize. The greens are pretty grainy. This particular outing was a 4.5 hour round. Due in full to the fact that there was a shotgun full of weekend hackers. The starter was young and inexperienced. He made a critical mistake of starting a bunch of twosomes instead of grouping them, which really slowed it down out there. Head pro to the rescue on that one, by giving us a raincheck that is good for another round. 4 stars for customer seervice on that.

Had to play the back 9 twice due to maintenance on the front side. Really enjoyed the layout and the only downside was that I was disappointed to not be able to play the front. No regrets and that was probably the only thing from getting a 5 star rating.

Great course with great views and very challenging. We hit it a ton and could not easily reach the greens in regulation. Everything is protected by bunkers and water hazards. Very challenging. We had to play the back nine twice as the front was under repair or they were just trying to save on water due to the limited amount of summer golfers. So if you don't want to pay $150 bucks golf it now when it's like a steam bath out there!

The girls in the clubhouse were real nice and the food and beer was top notch.

No beverage cart probably another cost savings strategy?

Played this course in early August so the fairways were browned out in some spots as expected. The Greens were in good shape and rolling nicely. This is a very good layout with some great views. Staff was very nice and booked this last minute and played in under 3 hours. Most greens are well below the cart path so you do have to walk up and down multiple steep hills to get to and from greens, but if you are physically able it is a great course for the money.

Excellent golf for the money. The chilled towels were a blessing.

Eagle Mountain has so many spectacular holes with a variety of views, some in canyons, some with panoramic views of the valley, all worthy of a framed photograph. While taking in the beauty of the natural surroundings, there is also some great golf holes to take on. This is a challenging course. With the tee placements our group played, there were no easy putts and the greens are usually protected with two or more bunkers. As could be expected in a mountain course, there are numerous elevation changes and many challenging shots to take. If you don't bring your "A" game, beware: this course can be quite penal. The staff are great; very professional and well organized. Course conditions were good for mid-summer, though I find the thick bermuda rough to be quite penal. Nonetheless, I consider Eagle Mountain to be one of the best courses in the Phoenix area.

There are so many courses to play that are in just as good a shape as Eagle Mountain and cost less. The course was in ok shape and the staff was very friendly, we were able to tee off early and completed our round in about 3 1/2 hours. Overall experience was good.

Great condition, challenging, awesome views, nice greens but they were a little slow

Eagle Mountain is a golf experience. Lots of canyon, but very playable. Course is great shape. Some areas of the fairways were a little thin, but that's expected in the middle of Phoenix summers. Worth the trip.

The course was in great condition with an unbeatable price. If you can withstand the heat, this is the deal of the summer so far!

If your looking to take guests to a scenic course, don't look any further. Super friendly cart personnel and Dale, the starter was very kind and let us tee off almost an hr early. Challenging course and with sloped fairways and greens make you rethink what club your hitting. Fairways had some minor issues just like any other course out there right now... Can not beat these mt. views... Awesome course, awesome people...lots of water to drink as well as beverage cart...A must play course!

Course was in great shape, played in less than 3 hours
