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.

Every shot was fun to hit

Absolutely gorgeous views with great golf. Very playable as most fairways slope to the middle and are forgiving. Greens were a moderate pace but full of rolling hills that makes for a difficult short game. Very serious low handicappers will not face many challenges but an awesome course to play for the majority of golfers. Will be back again!

First Time Playing

Solid Shape Post Seeding; Greens Furry

Course is in really good shape - tee boxes, fairways, very lush and well maintained. Friendly staff, keep the pace quick - we were 4 hours solid with one in our group on the red tees....but the greens were awful - hadnt been trimmed in a couple weeks...suppose that's the strategy with seeding, but forget about touch putting...you had to crush the ball to move it along.....and for the 2 - 3 footers you were subject to a stray blade of grass....regardless, it's a great course for the money.

Beautiful Course. Great staff. Makes me wish I lived closer!

My wife and I had a wonderful outing at this course on Christmas eve day. Staff was great.

Only negative was the maintenance team followed us closely. We were the last group out on Christmas eve day, so it was understandable. Other than that, it was perfect! I can't wait to go back some day.

Great course!! Good view of the valley.

Has great views and features. Slopes on fairways help keep the balls in play. Definitely has 'valley affect' on the greens.

great layout and professional staff!

This course has always been one I would consider kind of my go-to course both for rounds with local friends and for showing out of towners what AZ golf is all about to impress them. As usual the staff was very professional and courteous. The greens were in great shape too. For some reason in the last two or three years the normally pristine fairways and rough has gone downhill and is very patchy and inconsistent. Still love the course and will be back but wish they would get this fixed permanently.

Good Track

Eagle Mountain is a very player friendly course with a lot of great features. Tshots are framed nicely and fairways are bordered by moguls which bring the ball back into play. Sand traps are excellent. The strongest feature of the course are its greens. Hard, fast and undulating require the ball to be on the right tier for success. Overall, very nice course.

Fun mountain course, but little pricey!

The course had been overseeded within the past few weeks, so the fairways were not as lush as other courses we played that week. Love the elevation changes!

Great Track - Challenging but not Punishing

Really enjoyed the undulating fairways and greens. Also appreciated the somewhat forgiving channeling fairways on some of the holes. Not punished for some slightly errant tee shots. Great views and pristine fairways. Greens were a little slow but not surprising given the recent overseeding programs at all courses in the area. Great challenging but fair course and will return for sure.

Eagle Mountain was beautiful

Great day of golf, fun and challenging, putting was kind of slow and fescue was hard to hit out of if your were not in the fairway, otherwise perfect day of golf. Staff was very nice and cart girl made plenty of stops.

Plenty of challenging holes and normally a great course to play.

While a challenging course, shaggy, very slow greens and inability to take carts in fairways (due to recent mainenance, granted) made for a ploddingly slow round.

Less than satisfactory experience

On this trip we played four courses that were recovering from over seeding and cart path only. It became an issue only on Eagle Mountain. Though there was a marshal the play was slower than a municipal course and nothing was done to speed up play. When asked, the staff told us it was always this way this time of year. Course condition was nearly unplayable because on the length of fairway grass and greens. Will skip this course next year.

Tough Greens

Course was in good shape for fall....Always plays fair tee to green.
terrain around greens, and slope on greens make hitting the correct part of the green very important, if not plan on lots of 3 putts!
