Golfer Reviews
Horrible Shape
I’ve been golfing for 50 years and have never come across a course in worse condition. There are weeds growing all over, and when you’re not tripping over them you’re walking through dead patches and dirt. The fairways look as if they haven’t been mowed for two months and whoever the ownership group is obviously doesn’t care about this place at all. Johnny Miller would be ashamed to have his name associated with this dog track.
Disappointed
It was once very nice, not anymore. Coursexis not kept up.
what happened
This course used to be a gem only 5 years ago. since new ownership its deteriorated quite significantly. Lots of weeds, greens full of pock marks. Course needs substantial watering too!!
Been discussing with other golfers
Eagle Ridge has always been a tough course to navigate for an older hacker like myself but given the deteriorating conditions and the recent heatwaves the grass is diminishing to the point of being unfair.
What was once beautiful seems to have declined
I played this course on a recent trip to California with my brother-in-law. The course was challenging, but fair. The clubhouse was very nice, and they have a beautiful putting green and a nice driving range. The course conditions were disappointing. The fairways and tee boxes were not maintained. There were patches of long grass all over the place, indicating that they had not mowed. It seems to me that this was at one point, a very high-end course that they have allowed to decline. For the money, I think there are better courses in the area to play. This course has great views and has the potential to be beautiful. Perhaps I just caught it at a bad time. I would play it again if I went back to the area to give it another chance.
Course condition is not good
Tee box was bad. There are a lot grass in the tee box. Some area in fairway did not have grass. It was not well maintained.
Quality and Challenging
Good rates after 4pm
Nice long beautiful courses with bumpy fairways and tee boxes but overall great setting
Conditions
They have a nice course layout but they’re not taking care of the course, like they used to.
That should lower their prices so they can get more play. Then they’ll have more money to take care of the course!
TOTAL DUMP
DO NOT PLAY HERE!! This place USED to be fairly decent but is now one of the biggest DUMPS in the area for us golfers. Save your $118 and play somewhere else. 1 STAR ALL AROUND
Pathetic Conditions
Eagle Ridge used to be one of the best courses in Northern California. The course is really well designed and tough. The tee boxes, fairways are complete trash. The sand traps and greens are still ok. Driving range used to be maintained and it had real turf. Now, it's all trash. Terrible matts, chewed up old range balls. Putting green is still pretty good. It would be nice if someone invested in a complete overhall of the course and got a reliable crew to maintain it.
Eagle Ridge renovation
Eagle Ridge is a wonderful Track but in average condition. It's my recommendation that Eagle Ridge renovates and starts turf reduction, naturalization, golf course renovation via xeriscaping and native planting. By transitioning to a naturalist golf course, Eagle Ridge will save California/Gilroy water while simultaneously allowing the maintenance staff to MANICURE a smaller portion of the golf course and make Eagle Ridge more competitive with cinnabar hills and coyote creek.
$115 on a Friday….for what?
This course isn’t worth the $115 my group paid. The weeds in the tee box did it for me. For 115 I could (should) have played Coyote, or Cinnabar. This course used to be really nice. Not anymore.
Great layout, bad shape, especially holes 8&9
Beautiful layout with horrible conditions on most fairways. I can’t help but think they’re wanting the land for more properties/houses etc…so, this is a purposeful avoidance to get support to shut course down. Shame, I hope I’m wrong!
