Relentless challenge. You play here, you get better!

This is my favorite course in the South Bay. It gives you a challenge all the way to the end, never overcrowded, the clubhouse is beautiful, and you are very far from freeway or city noise. My only complaint about this course is the bunker conditions, they need to be redone with new sand. The bunkers are beautifuly designed and come into play often so redoing them would serve this remarkable course well and would be in the golfer's best interest.

A Great Location

Eagle Ridge GC is located in the foothills west of Gilroy. Although there are quite large houses around the course, they don’t impose on the course. The location and vistas are great. The course uses recycled water so the tees, fairways and greens are is good shape. The fairways are wider than they appear from many of the tees. You do have to think about where to place your shot to get ready for the next shot. The greens and around the greens are greatly undulated so try to get on the correct level of the green. The greens are fast but roll true.

I was only in one bunker all day, a fairway bunker, and found the sand to be shallow and rather hard. This is what other reviewers have written recently.

We were a twosome and zoomed around the course since it was not busy. However, late in the round we got behind a very, very slow foursome who would not let us through. Hence, my "average" rating for pace of play.

Overall, it was a great day. It helps to play this course a few times to learn where the hidden adventures are and where to place your shots.

The hot deal made it affordable.

RIDICULOUSLY tough course!

This course is REALLY tough and the bunkers are way to fluffy. The greens are pretty fast and there was a dried out lake.

Nice Track

Overall great day! The course wasn't crowded, cart girl made numerous rounds! Good pastrami sandwich at the turn! Only recommendation or warning is to NOT hit into the bunkers, the bunkers are very crusty almost like playing out of caliche (sp)! Keep in the fairway as always and you'll have a good time!

Enjoyed the course but not the pro shop staff

We were hassled upon arrival by the pro shop staff about being slightly late due to horrible traffic. Stuart's customer service was terrible; no warmth or friendliness at all. Even thought he was trying to deter us from coming back. Turns out they were running about three groups behind anyway. Restaurant staff was nice, food was average and bartender did a good job. Enjoyed the course, it plays tough for those who spray it off the tee.

Not a member bad service

Overall course is great, but the guy checking us in was not so great. Appeared if you were not a member you didn't get same attention. There were 2 guys behind the counter and both were the same, a third gentleman who was also in pro the pro shop must have realized how bad the guy behind the counter was, actually came out and was really nice to us, told us where all the rest rooms were and where we can get water.

Great value

My friends and I were able to get on the course for $34.50 thanks to a hot deal. That is a steal for the course. It was in is in great shape from tee box to green. The only exception was the bunkers. Some of them are like hitting out of hard pan!

Exceptional value

Very much enjoyed eagle ridge course and the cost was extremely fair at $60. Great condition, challenging layout. Not your grip and rip course. Interesting holes, beautiful course, pace was perfect...No waiting or pressing from other players. One disappointment was that we showed up for early morning tee time and wanted to hit balls...only to find the driving range closed until 8:30. Not sure if that is normal or it was just that day. I got the impression the way the attendant answered is that it normally doesn't open until later. I would check if you plan on teeing off early

Great conditions at Eagle Ridge - yes... in June

Although California is in a drought, the folks at Eagle Ridge are able to provide a great golfing experience at a good price/value.

The greens are in great shape, the fairways are well manicured, and the rough is "just rough enough" to make Eagle Ridge a challenging course.

We played from the blues with a good group of golfers who all felt they got their money's worth.

If you are looking for a local course in the San Jose area, give Eagle Ridge a try. You won't be disappointed.

Great day. Fun and challenging course.

Everyone at the course was very friendly. Made it a great =setting. Course is in good shape. Very hard to score low at this course for an average golfer as pin placement and fast greens made for challenging green play. Plenty of course obstacles to keep you honest. Love this course. One of my favorites. Always fun to play!

Navigate through bunkers to play well there

It is a difficult course to score well and if it gets windy, even more so. With so many bunkers and some difficult and fast greens, saving par or even bogey can be a good score on some holes. Some greens are very large and may require up to two more clubs to get it close. With tucked pin location on some holes, playing safe to the middle rather than go for the pin which can be a disaster if missed on the wrong side and difficult to recover. Hole #9 is often difficult par 4 due to the length and then forced carry of 180-200 yards or more. Expect delay on #8 & 9 as it is difficult holes to score. Some blind tee shot and some with wide open offers a mix of good challenges for all golfers. Blue and black tees are usually grouped together during weekends offering 6700 yards to speed up play but from the tip can be played as it is not closed. Bunkers are filled with soil & dirt rather sand which makes it easier as they are compressed and recent renovation has most bunkers with enough dirt in.

What a coirse

This course was in great shape. Greens were soft and fast.
Greens are protected by numerous bunkers and are virtually all multi tiered. If you don't hit monster drives there will be holes where you better lay up or you will be in deep rough.
I'll be back to play again!

Great course, but SLOW

We played as a twosome, and by the 5th hole we were waiting on every tee box. The group's behind us got annoyed, and we were starting to feel rushed even though we had to wait at least 5 minutes on every tee. It got to the point where we decided to stop after the 13th hole.

One of the two Class acts in the South Bay

Solid Experience as always. The greens had just been sanded two days before and we knew that. Difference here is they take their time to do it right. They make sure the greens are all evenly sanded so you can actually have a puting experience that is the same green to green and although altered, the greens break more or less as they should taking into account that they are sanded. Eagle Ridge also does something special - they comp'ed us another round if played within the next seven days... As I said, Class Act all around. If you haven't played here you are missing a great experience with a challenging layout in a condition that is going to be a very fair test of golf.
