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.

Nice layout. Pretty views.

Not sure why the Ranger was on us to speed up. We played in under 4 hours and didnt see the group behind us after the 4th hole. I appreciate fast play so I am glad they éven push the groups that are ahead of pace.

First Impressions Need Work

We arrived at Eagle Mountain for a Thursday 12:36 tee time approximately an hour early allowing for stretching, range time and putting practice. To our dismay, there were no carts available. We waited 20 minutes for carts to come off the course. This puts the staff in a bad spot at Eagle Mountain. The practice facility is not in close proximity to the clubhouse. At some courses, not having a cart available immediately wouldn't be a big deal, but at Eagle Mountain it is. Management needs to increase their inventory of carts in high season.

The course itself is pretty and affords incredible views in all directions. The course condition was favorable, but not in premium condition.

Tough course to play.

We played on a tough golf day, 40mph winds and dusty air so my experience was not quite true to the course. Very challenging and not forgiving on arrant shots. Greens were hard to stick and needed grooming; they were inconsistent, some fast, some slow and some were both.

Very fun golf course

Staff was great. A lot of the reviews say the course is too hard. Actually the fairways are very generous. A lot slope back into the fairway. I thought it was as fair if not fairer than most courses down here. Good layout. Fun to play.

Gorgeous location

I've played here before, but the greens weren't really green - the difficulty was high ( I do like a challenge but the complaints from the other 3 golfers was not enjoyable), the burgers were fabulous, the staff friendly, had to wait for bag drop...I just played Firerock and Silverleaf - they were A++

Poor fairways and inconsistent greens.
Beautiful course but condition of the course was poor.
At this time I could not recommend this course to a friend.

Amazing views!

The entire staff was very friendly and helpful. The course was challenging, but playable. For being a first-timer out to Scottsdale, this is what I expected golf in the desert to be like. I would definitely return and tee it up again!

Very challenging. Greens are very difficult. Excellent condition.

Greens are very difficult to read with complicated breaks. I would especially suggest this course to accomplished players. This is one of the finest layouts in the valley, and rank it in my top ten in the Phoenix/Scottsdale area. The staff is very friendly. The course is substantially more difficult than the average, but very scenic, and well maintained.

Not a course for the average golfer

This is a difficult course that has undulating greens that measure around 12 for speed. The result is an extremely frustrating round for golfers with a handicap over 12. This combined with the healthy greens fees made this course a poor choice for the average golfer and why I would not recommend it. If you are a single digit hc be prepared for a five hour plus round. If you have the time I will say this is a well maintained course that has some fantastic views.

Desert Golf at it's finest!

I chose Eagle Mtn to host midwest business visitors to a desert golf experience. I knew Eagle Mtn had great conditions and unique views and vistas. The visitors loved it and seemed to bring out their cameras every other hole. The tee box options accomodated the hackers and the low handicappers. Conditions were great. Excellent value for the experience!

Great course layout and great views.

The course is challenging but fair . it was in very good shape ,fairways bunkers and greens all extremely nice to play on. The views around the course are quite picturesque and add to the course`s appeal ! We felt that this was one of the best courses we played on during our stay in Arizona and would recommend it to anyone looking to play a higher end course.

Fantastic views and player friendly.

Eagle Mountain is one of the prettiest courses in the valley. However not for anyone with a disability as it is a mountain course with steep hills to climb up to tees and down to greens. The play was slow and we never saw a marshall on the course to speed up play. Course condition was very good but the overseed hasw not completely taken as of mid-January.

This golf course,IMO, is very , very ,highly overated for the price.

I will not return at Eagle Mountain untill the price comes down and the fairway conditions are improved. There has been an obvious lack of maintenance on the golf course. We have played other courses in the area that were in much better condition and for a lesser price. They do though, as claimed, have a couple nice scenic holes that are very fun to play.
