Getting worse and worse

Its feels like they’ve given up, probably contemplating housing in lieu of the golf course. I feel bad for anyone paying full price. Youll get hit with an extra 9$ regardless but once you’re on the course you’ll find yourself wondering where that 9$ has gone. Greens are riddled with ball marks. Lots a grass where its not needed and no grass in designed landing areas. Poorly managed, has potential. They need to sell or hire an outside consultant. The fact they charge more than cinnabar or coyote creek is criminal. There’s a reason there are always tee times available

Love the course but course conditions not good

I have been playing Eagle Ridge from when it first opened and love the layout but the course continues to disappoint. I keep coming back and hope it is better.

The last time I played the sand traps were all out of order. This time for example, hole 15 green was so beat up and there was actually big hole in the green. The fairway greens were very inconsistent not getting a true lie on the grass as there were many brown patches. To top it off we played in five hours and that was because the group in front of us was so slow. We NEVER saw a marshal or any drink carts. If you are going to charge almost $100 to play the least you can do was have a marshal and drink carts. Also, the bathroom between hole four and five was absolutely horrible. Where the mirror was the wall was coming apart and the urinal was disgusting. It is really sad, because this course can be amazing if someone just put money into it. Last, the range balls were also a joke. Half were old balls that were so beat up. I guess I will try again in another year.

Poor condition of the course

This was a beautiful course but, a close friend was visiting from Oregon and wanted to play golf. I bragged so much about Eagle Ridge, how beautiful and tuff the course was. Then we start playing and the once beautiful tee boxes had 10 inch weeds growing out of the ground. The fairways had bare spots and the sand traps that ended up in, didn’t have sand. There was maintenance people working on the course that we had to yell at to move and protect yourself because we were going to hit our balls. No Marshall on the course, because the group behind us kept hitting into us even though we were waiting for the group in front of us. And to top it off they charged an extra $9.00 for some sort of maintenance fee, go figure.

Exorbitant fees

Not only do they charge excessive green fees, when you check in they've added another $9 for "fertilizer, maintenance, etc!!!" Every golf course has to pay for that and others, etc?? I doubt if I play there again!!

Lackluster support for a tournament!!!!

I recently played a tournament for the California *FIREFIGHTERS Olympics at Eagle Ridge. The overall course conditions were fair, some of the fairways were a little more beat up than others, but the greens were in good condition and fast. The off course amenities unfortunately were handled badly. When you are hosting a tournament and you have 150 *FIREFIGHTERS or anybody for that matter showing up at 8 AM and the course was well aware of this tournament months in advance. , You would think that they would be prepared for the crowd of people early in the morning. The bathroom conditions were poorly handled only one or two bathrooms available with stalls to accommodate all these gentlemen. The morning food situation was poor and that’s been kind. The snack shack had no danishes, pastries breakfast burritos, anything of the sort ready for all the gentlemen getting ready to tee off at 8 AM You had to buy your own range balls they were not supplied to the participants even a small bucket would’ve been a complementary item. There was not a drink cart at all on the golf course for 5 1/2 hours. My overall opinion of Eagle Ridge is it the course is fair, but the off course amenities are subpar and I would not recommend this course or any group of people to use this as a tournaments facility unless you were guaranteed of certain amenities. It is unfortunate because the course is not that bad. I hope they can work on this for future events.

Nice layout watch out for hidden $9 fee

Beautiful course. Nice challenging layout. Greens kinda I’m rough shape right now. Watch out for golf now fine print that says eagle ridge will charge $9 resource fee per player. Although your golf now receipt will show $0 due at course. So thought I was getting a good deal when in reality I was paying regular price.

Maintenance Fee

First time ever at a course we were charged $9 per player a course maintenance fee on top of green fees (similar to a restaurant). We found that odd.

Bumpy Greens

If I can make a suggestion to improve the condition of the greens. Put Large Neon Signs on the back side of Every Green to Remind ALL GOLFERS TO REPAIR ANY DIVOTS ON THE GREENS. Even if there not yours. It was ridiculous to see how many divot marks were on most of the greens. Some Golfers are So Inconsiderate about repairing their own divots. Six of my putts were knocked off line because of them. It’s only common courtesy. Other than that it was a Beautiful Day

Dont Be Fooled!

The course sometimes looks great from afar but up close it’s muni conditions.The whole course needs renovation but i saw 2 greens keepers picking weeds out of the bushes in the parking lot. It seems the managment is focused more on looking nice for the neighborhood and hosting weddings than providing a quality golf experience. They keep the quality practice area private for members so no chipping or grass range for us plebs. Not to mention the extra 9$ fee, thats 10-20% of the green fees on top.

Great course played here many times through golf now.

On Golf Now pre-paid for my foursome $57.00 each player. When we arrived to check I was told they had a new policy and they charged me an additional $9.00 per player (which is not mentioned anywhere on Golf Now). I paid it, and hope Golf Now will reimburse that surprise charge, no where is it mentioned when I paid the fee for final payment. The clerk said it should have been on Golf Now’s post when you pay online. ITS NOT!!

The tee box on 15 was the only bad thing I could or would complain about, the course was in great condition, the greens are tough but that is one reason I like to play here, it is challenging.
