Eagle Ridge needs help...

Played here about a year ago and it was in good shape, not anymore. Cigarette butts on the ground, range in bad shape with old beat up balls. Weeds and neglect everywhere. The woman in the Pro shop never even looked up at us once and we were the only people there. Seems like a money issue cuz there were very few maintenance people and an obvious lack of spraying and mowing that had taken place anytime recently.

Not what it used to be :(

Played here many times in the past and it's sad to see it in it's current condition. Weeds growing around the greens, rocks in the sand traps and many bald spots on the fairways.

Single line irrigation

Eagle Ridge is a wonderful Track but in average condition. It's my recommendation that Eagle Ridge transitions to a naturalist golf course with a Single line targeted irrigation system that can substantially shrink the irrigation footprint of the golf course. By transitioning to a naturalist style golf course, Eagle Ridge will save the City water while simultaneously allowing the maintenance staff to MANICURE a smaller portion of the golf course and make Eagle Ridge more competitive with similar golf courses in the Santa Clara county

Course Great GolfNow Inflexible

This is about the difficulty in making changes, GolfNow's inflexibility. I requested a 20-min earlier tee time and was told it could be done by canceling my existing tee time and purchasing the earlier tee time. The existing paid-for later tee time would be credited to me for future use but could not be applied to the new earlier time which is considered a separate purchase. And by the way, this credit can only be applied to the specialized "hot deals" only. Only those designated hot deals, but not the regular times.

And oh by the way, the cost of the new tee time is $60 higher than yours.

We decided to keep out later tee time ;(

Not like it used to be

Needs a lot of work. It used to be a really nice course.

It is not worth $95 to play now.

Muni in a Gates Community

The golf course is located in a gated community with million dollar homes. However, the golf course condition is like an average municipal golf course. Santa Teresa golf course in San Jose has better Fairway conditions than Eagle Ridge. For the price, it should be in better shape. The fear is that the course will be improved and then the rates will be raised to the public just to bring it up to a normal standard. 41 and hole 10 are straightforward, but the remainder of the golf course is difficult. There are narrow fairways with overgrown trees and some areas that make the tea shot even more. The course could use a good trimming and better fairway maintenance.

Great course

Played with a local and found a great golfnow deal for around $80 @ 10 am on a Sunday. Pace was good at about 4:15. Course had a great layout with a few holes surrounded on one or both sides. Most holes traveled through the hills and had a peaceful setting. Most holes penalize a right miss, so allow for room to the left. Green ran pretty well for the most part and were fast enough but not crazy speedy. Fairways were pretty good with a few bare spots and we occasionally rolled it over to a less bad lie. Bunkers had good amout of sand for the most part. Layout was great- just make sure you play the right tees for your distance or skill level. Very enjoyable day and experience.

Homes Better Than Golf Course

Eagle Ridge is located in a gated community with beautiful million dollar homes surrounding it. However, the course condition does not match. Santa Teresa Golf Course in San Jose is in better shape than this track. The course is difficult enough without bare spots in fairways and a lackluster driving range with no bunker practice or chipping practice area. Again, San Jose's Santa Teresa Golf Course offers more practice amenities and better condition that Eagle Ridge and is on par as far as price for play including golf cart. The fear is that the condition will be improved and then the public will be charged a premium for it being brought back to par.

Chill

These 20 and 30 handicap act like if the course isn’t in Augusta national condition it’s a bad course. This is a good course. It is in good condition. The greens roll pure and it’s a good challenge. All these negative reviews are so overrated. These guys have no idea what they’re talking about.

Best Layout Northern Ca & Great Greens

Eagle Ridge has one of the best course layouts in Northern Ca. Very challenging, each hole delivers unique experience. Only fairways 1 & 10 side by side, all others meander solo with some excellent views of mountains. Rarely windy as nestled to hills. The greens have always been high quality and challenging. This course challenges golfers at every level. You will not forget your round at Eagle.

Very Disappointed

I wanted to see if Eagle Ridge had improved on the condition of their course since I haven’t played it in over a year. Sadly nothing has changed and I won’t be coming back. The greens are still a mess with fungus and these pockets of holes the size of a tennis ball in them and a lot of the fairways have dirt patches as large as a garage. And don’t get me started on the practice putting green, what a disaster that was. The pace of play was insane. I teed off at 11:30 and finished at 5:15. Got to the fifth hole and there were two groups waiting to tee off. This could be such a nice golf course with a lot of attention paid to grass improvements and green repairs, but sadly that’s Not On The List Of What’s Important. I Won’t Be Back There Until Things Improve,
