Golfer Reviews
Keep an eye on your ball...
This course has good challenging holes on the front and back. The rough is cut high enough to hide your golf ball so keep an eye on it. The bushes are very thick and you will wish you had a chainsaw if your ball jumps to it. The sand traps are in real bad shape so stay away. Fairways are good and wide on some holes. Watch out for the road off the tee on hole 17.
Won’t go back for a while
Sad looking bunkers. Wet dirt, no sand at all. Should be marked as ground under repair.
No marshal to enforce a proper pace. We were stuck behind 3 drunk people that had no consideration for others. At one point 3 groups were waiting behind them.
Bunkers need help
Love this course but their bunkers have been in brutal condition for a long time. Seriously need to bring in a few dozen truckloads of sand. Other than that we had a great day. Fairways and greens were in good shape.
Bunkers
These have to be the worst bunkers I have ever seen. No sand. No upkeep. Shame to charge these rates with no course Marshall
Sloppy and unkept
The tee boxes were unmowed, bunkers are being redone or empty and the back 9 was really sloppy, even though it’s been 4 days since the last rain. if I’m paying $80 I would expect better course conditions or at least warn us or include range balls or something.
This course is usually well kept and viewed as a good deal which is why I booked it when my family came into town. Was embarrassed throughly.
Great Course, but....
This is not the first time I played here, I like this course but....
First off, this course is fun, it has a few challenging holes, and also some wide fairways as well. The only problem is that during the rainy season, the course does not drain well, and right now the bunkers are full of rocks that can ruin your clubs! However, I think that they will fix this and add more sand, once the weather gets better???
Terrible bunkers
They need to do something with these bunkers, they have no sand in them. Also pace of play was terrible in the back nine, I’m a pretty face golfer but every hole I had to wait. Maybe it was just my luck.
Bad bunker condition all 18 holes
Supposedly, it is a challenging course due to some narrow holes. But. The real challenge is the poor biker condition. This bikers and sands of this course are under poor construction condition and can it see any improvements in long time. I was so regreatful to play a round and pay premier .
Very pleasant surprise!
The course was in decent shape. It was the perfect golf day, not too hot not too cold, not too slow. We'll be back!
a great course but it’s going to be a loooong round
The course is a tough course, but a lot of fun. The biggest issue for his course are the bunkers are in really bad shape and it’s always a long round at this course because they don’t use marshals to police the pace of play. My friend and I play on a Monday mid day and we’re stuck behind a foursome that took almost 3 bourse to finish the front 9, there were 5 holes behind the foursome in front of them. The round took almost 6 hours.
Great layout.
Excellent condition fairways and greens.
Bunkers are going to need attention after winter season.
course too wet
This course played like a fall course except it had not rain yet, in others words too wet. For some reason this course is difficult to keep the fairways and bunkers in good shape. Throughout the course the fairways are in constant repair. Is it the soil of this hillside course that doesn't allow the grass to grow very well or is it that it is over watered? I was very disappointed in the shape of the course and it is not worth the money in it's current state. I do not plan on playing Eagle Ridge for some time. I will hope that i the future it can be up graded and kept in better shape.
Needs greens keepers
I live in giloy and have have not played this course for over 2 years, My golf partner does not like it as he feels it is unfair, I talked him into playing it not realizing what terrible shape it is in. When we checked in the cashier let us know that they have implemented a local rule "if you go in a sand trap, just take it out as they are grounds under repair" . Well most of the course should be grounds under repair, including greens, and fairways. I think the only way it can be brought back to its original beauty is to tear it all out and start again.
I was not informed there was a tournament in front of me :(
I saw 3 ladies go a while before me so I waited and gave them time to play through a few holes. So I then teed off #1 and finished and headed to #2 and THERE THE LADIES WERE WAITING!!! It was very irratateing to me because I had to WAIT FOR 15 minutes until I could tee off!!! Then on #3 They were waiting again and asked me if I wanted to play with them to avoid waiting for them. I said no thank you.Coming up to #4 I saw them waiting right about where I hit my drive so I WAITED AGAIN 10 minutes or so. After that a gentlemen who hooked up with me on #4 said lets go to #10 so we did meaning I MISSED 5,6 &7 because when we went to 10 we decided to check out 8 and see if it was ok to play( ahead of the tournament) and it was ok. Now I had some of the best shots of my life that day . I think I actually hit 4 or 5 BIRDIES :) which was a first for me there at Eagle Ridge. I have a new driver with much more yardage added to my drives but it was my TREMENDOUS 3 WOOD SHOTS on to the GREEN in 2 and CLOSE to THE PIN several times that made me able to BIRDIE SO MANY HOLES!!! Just think if I could have played ALL THE HOLES and not been uptight so to speak what I could have done? Oh Well I will live to play another day at Eagle Ridge BUT NEVER A WEDNESDAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I believe my score would have been a 77 or better.
Interesting story about hole skipping.
Personally, I always return after the 18th to play the holes I missed. It's only fair. Glad you experienced a birdie abundance!
