Very tough back 9

Beautiful but very difficult course.

FRONT NINE: was interesting, a lot of challengers. Course and greens were in good shape. The rough was tough, as the grass, for the most part, was kept at around 5 inches. For us, that meant a lot of time looking for the ball if it went off the fairway.

BACK NINE: was very difficult. Almost no flat lies, always on a slope....and the slope could be in any direction to the hole. A lot of steep slopes. Played with a young scratch golfer. He was not feeling well, so quit at the turn. In parting he said he didn't think he was missing much because the back nine is so difficult...even for him.

In conclusion, this course is good for 15 or under handicappers. Otherwise it can be very frustrating.

Course good, extra fee BAD

The course and pace of play were excellent. The extra fee of $9 you had to pay for fertilizer was a bummer. It is not about the money (I understand prices have risen) but adds an unnecessary unexpected surprise to one's visit. Why not make it simple and raise the golf rate so one knows that once you have paid you have paid and no need to pay again...??? I asked and there is no extra fee for using electricity and water even if that is more expensive as well, as of yet anyway....

Tough Tough course

The front nine was challenging, but the back nine was almost impossible. Narrow fairways, extremely sloped hills that you had to play as a sidehill, bunkers with long grass on the uphill outside. A lot of water ways..

Greens are in good shape. Bunkers had good quality sand.

A true challenge for the best of golfers. Do not recommend for average golfers.

Springtime Golf is back!

A perfect day to be on the course anywhere in the Bay Area, but I especially enjoyed being close to home. The course is recovering well as we've had an unprecedented amount of rain. The maintenance staff is doing a great job dealing with all the issues. They've got the greens rolling sweet!

This is not right!

Booked a fouirsome on Golfnow and paid on-line.

Got to the course and they wanted an extra $9 per player for some ridiculous fee they said they are charging since their fertilizer cost went up 300%.

I told them my PG&E bill doubled so they should give me a credit on the green fees.

This fee is on their website but I did not use their website to book so to charge an additional fee once you get to the course is bad business.

Perfect rounding with challenging greens and fairways

The condition was great but they charged a green improvement fee of $9 per player which was a little bit frustrating. The greens were quick and the fairways were great. The sand of a bunker was soft enough to escape from it.

Resource Recovery Fee

I've booked many rounds at Eagle Ridge online and never had an issue till yesterday. The pro shop wanted an extra $9 for a recovery fee in order to "keep green fees low"!!!!!!!!???? The pro said it was spelled out on my online reservation. Going back, I did miss the fine print, but I find this deceptive. The GolfPass rep said Eagle Ridge is the ONLY golf course that charges this fee to his knowledge. .

The course condition was awful on 3/25/2023

The course charges $9 per person for resource recovery fee. However, the fairway condition was awful! The drain system didn’t work well and the course was muddy everywhere. The grass on the fairway is too long and it’s very hard to find balls even on the fairway. I don’t know where did the course spend the $9 per player extra charge but it doesn’t look like they spent it in the right place.

Over-priced, Under-Maintained

I want to like this course given I live right down the street but I regret every time I play here. First off, they’re charging a $9 “course restoration fee” to all golfers, including hot deals, but I didnt see a single person out restoring the course. Today, 3 days after the last rain, the greens were not mowed and the rough very over grown with seed heads abundant. The course is VERY difficult with no lay up opportunities so the high handicappers that frequent the course really slow the pace. Combine the lay out with the poor conditions and the pace, it can be a slog fest. The course has a lot of unrealized potential.

Should’ve stayed home

I was on my way to Blackhorse in Monterey, because of an accident. I wasn’t able to make it on time . Decided to play Eagle Ridge since it was on the way back home. I played this course million times and never been as disappointed as I was today. Paid $93 to tee off at 2 PM. I knew the course was going to be slow but today was extremely bad. No Marshall in sight!

It seems like the golf course is under new management. Course conditions has worsen since last year. The staff is really nice but something is lacking. They even allowed a long drive competition on the first tee. I couldn’t even try to play the front nine again.

what used to be a decent golf? Course is now just become a regular municipal like golf course. Just disappointed!
