Nice golf course, relatively difficult
Great course overall , some easy holes and some very challenging others..
Great condition , good pace of play , nice greens
Will come back
Fred
Good pace of play-hard course
I booked an am tee time which is hard to get on a Saturday in the South Bay. Course, staff and course amenities are first class. If you are not a good golfer, this course is not for you. Hilly, windy and difficult holes define this course. Bring a lot of balls, because unless you hit it straight, you will lose all of your balls. Beautiful country and nice staff.
We’re the greens healed from aeration?
Great Course/Great Price
My only issue was I did not know the greens had recently been airrated.
Would have been nice to know.
Other than that, it was great!
avoid this course for a few weeks
would have been nice for TeeOff to let us know that the course was sanded and aerated. normally a fun course but not this time. Just miserable greens. No notification from TeeOff about the maintenance.
Not good
Would have been nice to know they had sanded the greens the day before play. No notification from TeeOff. Absolutely awful. Course website had discounted fees but NOT TeeOff! Play here many times and always good. This time…Just miserable.
Eagle Ridge Transition
Eagle Ridge is a Great track, but the maintenance staff cannot keep up the deteriorating condition of the Eagle Ridge. It's my recommendation that Eagle Ridge shrinks their irrigation footprint and transitions to a desert style golf course with a targeted Single line irrigation system. This will save on water costs and give the maintenance staff a chance to keep up the condition of the course. Also with a smaller irrigation footprint, Eagle ridge would be able to manicure and double seed, and consequently compete with Coyote Creek and Cinnabar Hills for Members. Attached is an of a Naturalist Golf course.
Much Improved
Haven’t played for a few years at ER due to course conditions. Sand traps are all playable now w nice sand. Most of the greens are in very good to excellent condition running fast and true. There are still “spotty” grass areas in some fairways and aprons, which should be played ground under repair. Lastly there are wild pigs rooting up some of #8. These are all repairable and I will return. Fun track.
i have played this course many times in the past but have not seen it in such poor condition was playing as a twosome in between several foursomes no place to go got very irritating when the group behind us complained that we weren't playing fast enough and then lied to us when confronted about hitting up on us as we wee on the green Don't think I will play there again
Conditions are poor
Overall conditions are poor. Some fairways are not mowed, so even drives down the middle end up in rough like position. And hole 8 is an absolute disaster, with the middle of the fairway looking like a war zone. Will not play again until the conditions improve.
Getting Better
I have played Eagle Ridge many times over the years and always appreciated the design and challenge. I have also called out the deficiencies in its maintenance like years of bunkers overgrown with weeds and fairways under construction. But lately I have noticed the course is looking much better although still not perfect (but what course is?).
To summarize- this in a five star course in four star condition.
Great layout, wait to play in the Summer
With the rain, drainage seemed to be an issue, especially with the slopes here. 7th and 8th fairway are destroyed by boars , 14th fairway is tarpped.
For the price there are better courses , the layout is challenging and fun , greens were in good shape overall. Will hope for better conditions come
Summer and may try again
Great Course. Challenging because of wet conditions
There were several holes that had uniquely horrible draining. Otherwise, I really enjoyed playing the course
Much better since the put sand in the bunkers. Hog messed up 8 and 9. But don't know what you can do about that
Nice challenging course
Great course
Not sure when eagle ridge started allowing blue jeans as acceptable attire
Maybe I am old school but I don’t think it’s that difficult to to adhere to a golf dress attire
We’re the greens healed from aeration
