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.

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.

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

Not sure when eagle ridge started allowing blue jeans as acceptable attire
