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.

Summer golf at its best

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?

Great layout and great price

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.

Great course; beautiful setting

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.

The course was good

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.

One of the best

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.

Fantastic views

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!

beautiful course

This is one of my favorite courses, and was very affordable with GolfNow.
From tee to green it's the 2nd best we have played in the past 2 weeks, sand traps were perfect, my only complaint would be the speed of the greens was a lot slower than any others.

Fun course

Played with my wife, really enjoyed our round from start to finish. Complimentary Titleist club rental if you stayed at the Inn. Overall condition was very good, the greens were excellent. Enjoyed the views of the valley, pace of play, and the service. Club house is positioned on hill with a great outdoor patio with views to die for and a nice breakfast. Course staff provided cold towels on hole 12, nice touch. Highly recommend you play this course.

Go for the houses

Course was in decent shape. You can see they actively keep up on the conditions as there were areas with new sod, areas roped off and some spot watering going on throughout the course.Tee to green was overall very nice. We played on a very windy day that made the course even more challenging. Pace was good. The only issue we encountered was that the bag staff failed to secure a bag to the cart and it fell off just shortly after pulling away from the bag drop area which resulted in a broken driver. They stood behind it and replaced the shaft. If you want a course with spectacular views, thias one is in the running, although the views are man made. Many of the houses lining the course are of theextremely large variety. Most people couldn't afford the landscaping, nver mind the building itself.

Enjoyed the course and the scenery

enjoyed the course and the scenery. The staff was very friendly. Club house warned us that they only had one cart that day and said we might want to take a drink out, which we appreciated. Other reviews said course not in good condition, but it was fine to us, with a few areas that needed maintenance. The only issue I had was the hills, having to park the cart and walk up and down them. But, the exercise was needed in my case! Would definitely golf there again.

Still Fountain Hill's Best Track...

Eagle Mountain is consistently on most snowbirds' list of "must plays in the Valley". This was my second go-around the hills, great sights, and undulating fairways and greens of Eagle Mountain and my first as a permanent resident in the Valley. As soon as I stepped up to the first tee, my memory card on this course kicked into high gear. The vast majority of holes were in great shape from tee to green. The tee boxes were cut very well with only a few bearing that "overplayed" look. A few fairways were burnt out in patches and one or two greens were in a bit of repair but these were minor blemishes on what is a fantastic layout. Eagle Mountain offers lots of variety. Long and short Par 3s and Par 4s with 3 out of the 4 Par 5s offering true scoring chances. For the price ($75 from GolfNow), playing this course was a steal. It may not be on the level of a Troon North, We-Ko-Pa or Southern Dunes but it can't be beat if you're looking for both awe-inspiring Valley sights and a well-manicured and vacation-worthy 18 hole experience.
