Beautiful and challenging course
This is really nice course tucked in to the hillside and surrounded homes. It is difficult because it is very unforgiving if you don't hit fairways. Tough for a novice like me but very enjoyable.
Great Golf Course
Looking for a challenge? Here it is!
What a great golf course - I booked this course based on the reviews previous and they were spot on. The course is in amazing shape.. As a 2 handicap, this course was a great challenge - it truly has it all. Difficult driving holes, tricky approaches, challenging pins, and quick greens. Every putt requires full attention.
It's a wonderful layout - I would not recommend it for anyone struggling off the tee, as there is trouble lurking almost everywhere. I recommend playing with someone who's played here before as some of the holes require some local knowledge off the tee.
Great testing course!
Love the course, pace of play was non-stop mostly but it was a busy day. Staff were nice and course was in good condition. Not an easy course and makes you think. We'll be back for sure
One Of The Best
Eagle Ridge is on my list of top 10 courses I like to play, which includes Pebble Beach and Spanish Bay. The setting is lovely and the golf course inspires greater attention, focus, study and planning than most. It's great fun to test my game on ER. As well, we always feel welcome by the staff; the practice area is good; the clubhouse is comfortable; and the drive to ER is easy. Play it!
Lots of variety
Eagle Ridge is a very good golf course with lots of variety and challenges depending on which set of tees you play from. If your drives carry 250 and roll out to 270 or more, you should play the back tees. 200 yard or less total drivers should play the whites. A few of the par 4's are shorter and require layups and accurate placement of the tee shot.
Greens were generally very good on the front 9 , but the back 9 was aereated with medium sized holes 11/18/2013 and not yet sanded, so call the pro shop before making a time to check on current course conditions.
Tournament conditions
Greens were rolling 11+, and on these Johnny Miller undulations, two putting is not trivial no matter where you are! Very challenging!
If you want to challenge your course management skills and shot making skills this is the course for you.
In general the course was in excellent shape (10/12/13). Putting greens were in excellent shap, smooth and very fast and held when flying a ball in. Fairways for the most part were in good shape. a few areas were plugged and dry. The only complaint I had was in several areas around the course the rough was very "Patchy - unfair" I don't mind long/ short/ or mid length grass but having bare spots where the ball will fall into a hole and be surrounded by grass such that all you can see is the top of the ball seems unfair, especially around the greens. if you were a couple "yards" off the fairway, I figure that would be my fault but to be "double" penalized for a shot that is just off the green/fairway seems a little harsh/unfair...
Great course and good fee this time. Surprised by "mud-traps" and uncut greens.
Always enjoy the devious J Miller course. (They are building houses faster than pancakes and we'll bash in the windows as completely as when the course opened first. Just steal some sand from the speculating builders and sprinkle it into the
wonderfully placed traps ---- now simply mud puddles.)
Great greens make a great golf experience.
This is the time of year for the greens to be punched, and Eagle Ridge greens were healing nice, and rolled great.
Great challenge. Great staff.
Great!!!!!! All the way around. Only one complaint. The bunkers contain many stones. Hard to believe with the rest of the course being so pristine that they can't put clean sand in the bunkers. I am talking about a lot of stones.
Good course. Challenging but fair.
I have loved playing here every single time. Good course that is both challenging and fair. Plenty of opportunities for risk and rewards.
However, this week the greens were aerated recently - so they were a lot bumpy and slow. Short putts didn't fall in the cup. Lag putts fell way short. Putted 4-6 strokes more than usual.
Excellent course
Course well maintained and challenging. Great value for price you pay. Looking forward to playing eagle ridge next week.
A potentially tough challenge
I was very excited to play this course for the first time but this is definitely a course you want to play several times before you feel comfortable. I thought that the routing was very challenging, but I was very dissapointed in the overall flow of the golf course and the conditions in some places. With all four of the players in my group never having played the course, we got lost going from the first green to the 2nd tee- a sign would have been nice. And most of the holes have trouble dissecting them- either GPS or a yardage book would have made it a lot less frustrating
Nice course but difficult
Very nice course, just don't plan on finishing your round if you decide to tee off late in the afternoon. We were kicked off the course after completing the 15th hole with easily enough daylight to play one or two more. Price was great at $35.00 on golf now but I won't go back late afternoon again. I'd rather play a course that allows players to play until dark.
Amazing fun from blue or black tee
Many surprises; greens are well guarded; interesting hazards placement; green are in reasonble shape and fast; bad shots are punished and risks taking are rewarded. Will want to play again.
An 8 on a 10 point scale.
Good to excellent condition although bunker sand was variable in quality and depth. Fairways and greens very good condition. Greens moderately fast. About half the course winds through houses similar to Arizona or Hawaii courses. The other half is beautiful California country side, oaks and the "golden brown" of summer. Worth playing. Range is mats only Mondays through Thursdays.
This course challenging and also fun course.
It was great value for the money and I love to go play again soon.
Course is in great condition. This course is for the straight hitter.
great day of golf
Appreciated the staff asking for the correct pronunciation of my last name prior to announcing on the loud speaker. First time playing the course and it was in great condition and offered some real challenges. Enjoyed the round regardless of my score.
Great course and wide open on a Wednesday
Really enjoyed this great layout, good service, great price on golf now.
greens and fairways were lush, and every hole was fair, and accessible from the correct tees.
Definitely a favorite of mine.
Solid course that caters to above average caliber of player. Pace of play could have been better.
The range, putting area, and snack shop are all very accessible. I was paired with 2 players who were not very good. This course is not recommended for handicappers above 25 as you will spend most of your day looking for golf balls. Conditions were solid and layout was enjoyable. I recommend this course for serious golfers looking for a country club feel.
