Golfer Reviews
Excellent Value
course is in pretty good shape although there are a few spots in some fairways that are bare due to topography. greens are generally well kept and nicely groomed after recovering from aerations earlier in the month. staff is nice to visitors and accommodating. one of my favorite courses in the South Bay.
I had a bad day. Trying to use a new driver anda little more power. I was off today but I will live to play another day.
I had some very good close chips with my 58 degree wedge and some awesome drives. I pared 13 with some awesome shots 2 laser 3 woods to on the hill above the green 40 or 50 yards away .I made a good read and one heck of a shot to within 6 inches of the hole for a save tap in PAR. On 18 I had a collossal drive and put a 3 wood down on the other side of the green down low below . I chipped a 58 degree with in inches of the hole again for a saved PAR. I shot an 84 but didn't feel in the groove at all. My score @ Gilroy last week was my best ever with my new driver. 74 so it is kinda hard to match up with that. Toodles Noodles
Good Course for the Money
Good level of difficulty. Traps have been badly neglected and played as ground under repair. was in four traps and only needed to drop once due to wetness of the trap.
Eagle Ridge continues to deteriorate
This used to be such a great value and well maintained course. It has continued to go down hill this year since new ownership. Bunkers are not maintained with high grass growing around them. Fairways have many bare patches and several sprinklers are leaking so badly your ball plugs and you are standing in casual water. Some of the greens have patches with no grass. Many areas have 3 foot high thistles growing along the fairway or in front of the tee boxes. The ball washer on #6 was completely missing the top portion; very ugly. It is apparent that there is no pride of ownership for this course.
Best game ever @ Eagle Ridge :) 75
Wow it was such a good day. No one was there on the first 10 holes . I started off with a birdie on 1 & 2 then a great long par 5 with a par. I some some fantastic shots! On 17 I chipped from way down by the street with a 52 degree wedge and the ball was 1 foot from the hole easy tap in for birdie :) Finished up with a beautiful drive by the 150 post and smacked a 3 wood onto the green and almost sunk my first put for a birdie but had to tap in for par. Great day I was very happy :)!!!
A great course to play on
Was a nice course to play I would come back again and again
Eagle Ridge 9/3
Incredibly hot, course was heavily watered, buut playable. Greens very many bare spots, traps very poor condition - bare and rocky
Great Course, quite dryed out in places and soggy in others.
Eagle Ridge is one of my favorite courses in the entire Bay Area, but right now the maintenance of the course is lacking. I will guess that the Greenskeeper has a smaller crew than is necessary to keep this course in pristine, or even good condition. There are spots on the course, right in the middle of fairways that are nothing but open dirt spots, not far away will be a soggy mess as the water system is not working correctly or leaks are causing both problems. Its also possible that the controllers are giving them problems.
As I said I like the course a lot, but with some bad spots on the greens and massive dry areas in some of the fairways (certainly spots on all of them) I will only be playing there when I get extensive discounts.
The greens overall were in good shape, a bit on the slow side, as you would expect when its over a hundred degrees out and they would be cut longer to protect the course. Will I play there again, absolutely, but not for the going price on the Eagle Ridge website. I will have to get a DEAL.
Maintain the course!!!!
Eagle Ridge would be so much better if the owners would put cash and expertise into maintaining the course. The sand traps are abysmal - rocks within and the thick grass growing at the lips aren't attractive, fair or useful. Fix your ball mark signposts are needed as are reminders to rake the traps. It seems the owners are more interested in weddings and catering than building a solid golfing base. The bar is often closed during weddings – too bad golfers and the snack shack needs an upgrade in service and offerings. This facility could be sooooooo much better, it's a shame.
Always fun to play
Eagle Ridge is always a fun and challenging course to play. The bunkers and greens were not in great shape like it was 2-3 years ago. It is still one of my favorite course to play in the Bay Area.
Great round with friend
Wow I had the best round and on 18 I crushed my drive and wasn't sure I would make the green on second shot but I whaled on a 3 wood up in the air straight at the pin . I knew it landed on the green but when I got up to the green the ball was a foot and half from the hole for an easy tap in BIRDIE!!! :) I was elated also birdied the 17th with a tremendous drive and 2- 3 woods on to the green 5 feet away BIRDIE :)
The condition of greens was not so good. And some of the bankers were very bad condition.
Great course at a reasonable price
Very beautiful course. I love the way winds through the surrounding neighborhood and hills. It is challenging yet fun to play. You will have to aim at certain spots or you will be in trouble. The staff is freindly and helpful. I would play this course more often if I could. I loved the experience.
Good course, better during the weekdays
Played this course during the weeekday and it was dead. Nobody else there. Pretty cool really. Beginner golfer so it was nice to have time to take a shot over if needed.
Disappointed
I was very disappointed that the course was in very poor shape. I understand that the bunkers are going to be replaced and the greens were going to be punched on Monday but the fairways weren't in good shape either. I've played this course a lot and I had never seen it this bad.
