Golfer Reviews
Great Course
I always enjoy playing this course. While it is not extremely difficult, you do have to use good course management. There are several places where you can get into trouble. The course is well maintained and the pace was play was great due to limited people playing golf today. Typical round of golf on the weekend is 4.5 hours. We saw a group of about 20 wild turkeys on one of the holes.
too long rounding
My tee off was 2:00 and 6:30 out at #15 by sunset. It was some kind of crary roung on monday afternoon.I think they need someone who makesgame fast. It was totally worst. Do not recommand anyone.
A true test of your game
Eagle Ridge is one difficult hole after another. It is beautiful, quiet and well maintained but make no mistake , this is a monster track. Play the approptiate tee to have an enjoyable day.
Bang for the Buck
Monterey may be cooler but this course is every bit as good as some - if not better! Great course, good rates and service - what's not to like.
So bad service to customer
1. Typical of the unkindly and unfriendly
2. Intentional treated badly.
3. Intentional tee time delay.
Eagle Ridge Twilight
I found a great deal on Golf Now for a $25 with cart for a 2:50pm start. They let the two of us out at 2:20pm and we did not hit another twosome until hole 13. We finished the round in 3 hours and 15 minutes. The course was in great shape especially considering these drought times we are in. The grass in the fairways and greens were in good shape. The bunkers were just fair, I've played a lot worse. The great thing about Eagle Ridge is each hole is so unique, memorable for some and forgettable on the double bogeys.
Challenging!
Very challenging golf course and I got a good deal. Greens are very fast and fun. I have not seen so many 3-4 putts at other courses
Great course, great value
Beautiful, challenging course. Really helps to know the layout as there are many hazards . Definitely not a course for beginners. Staff was super friendly.
Only negative was the bunkers were not in good condition.
Didn't see any eagles
Enjoyed the day, despite the heat and the challenges the course provided. You better be precise when playing every shot. Never much room for error. The beauty of this course belies the monster hidden within.
What a day of golf
it was one of those great days, finish in about 3 1/2 hrs. we tee off late at 1pm. I usually like to play early, but man it was right. no waiting on tee boxes moved at our own pace and course was in great shape. I was in heaven. I have not played a round of golf in less than 4 hrs in years. Very happy. It was a perfect day of golf
Challenging course from the black tees.
Course is in good condition and enjoyed the round. Great variety of holes and very challenging from the black tees. Played in the afternoon and it was pretty windy which made it tougher. Overall a great value for money, specially with the hot deals.
Great conditions considering that there is drought
Played around mid day in late July. Given the state-wide drought, the course was in great shape. The course's weak point is and always been the uneven condition of the bunkers. Played in a two + club wind. Makes the course very difficult on the ridge holes. You should know that the wind is usual.
On a different note, seniors should ask for the senior rate- age 60, $49.00 w/ a cart during the week. One of my foursome was asked and received this rate, while my partner and I were not asked and paid the golf now rate I booked.
Great course but don't play out of bunkers
Golf course was great staff great only complaint the bunkers are horrible the maintenance must of ran out of GIR signs because either the bunker was being worked on or it look like it should of been. I was in two bunkers and the bottom of my SW looks like I played the ball of the cart path. Very disappointing if you play there bring an old sand wedge
Great day
Tough course with a lot of bunkers. I wish they had a better beer selection when you hit the 19th hole.
Excellent golf course
It was a very hot day still enjoyed the course will tell people about my experiece.
Vic At Eagle Ridge
I really enjoyed this course and will definately play it again soon. I've played it a few years ago when I was a poor golfer. Now Im a 7 handicap, this course was very enjoyable to play.
Bunkers are BUNK
Courses in really good condition, except for the bunkers. Hard, inconsistent, and just terrible overall. As usual, staff in pro shop are way more accommodating for members then us GolfNow folk. Though the starter was pleasant as usual.
got a great mid-week deal and was impressed by the condition of the course. Greens were awesome. Layout is challenging, especially the 18th hole where you must carry over-around-under a row of trees that hide the green. I've never seen a hole like it in my 30+ years of playing. For that matter, most of the greens are so well bunkered that bump and runs can't be done.
We aren't good golfers but still loved the challenge and managed not to lose but a few balls. Do not try to walk this course unless you do marathons. It is spread way out through a beautiful development and many of the holes are isolated in pretty valleys with no homes around. One of our top tracks in CA so far.
