Poor Condition

This course is in bad shape. Many of the fairways have large dirt spots in the middle of the them and it doesn’t look like they are reseeding them anytime soon. The greens look like they have fungus growing on them. Light green spots that throw your ball off target. I’m not sure why they haven’t invested more time and money into this course, especially with the cost of the green fees they are charging. It could be so much better

Poor Conditions

I thought that I would give this course another try but after playing it I’m done with it… For the money that they are charging and for it to be in this bad of condition is a travesty. There are fairways that have huge bare dirt areas and it doesn’t look like they are trying to repair them. Some greens look like they have a light green fungus growing on them that makes the ball jump off line. I have to give them some credit though because the sand traps were well maintained and full of sand, good job there. The pace of play was Awful, it took five hours and forty minutes to play and never saw a Marshall once to help speed up the pace. I’m Not going back anytime soon.

Been a while but it’s better than the last time

It’s been several years since the last time I played here. It was very disappointing then, for a great layout! It is much better but it has a long way to go to get back to its glory days! It does show the wear and tear of golfers who just play and have no respect for the course! Large divots (unreplaced) in the fairway many, many unrepaired ball marks in the greens! I even watched the group in front of me drive the carts up and around to the back of the greens!!! This was one of the great public courses in the bay area! It was a deal from Golfnow that made the decision to play!

For a few dollars more, there’s better choices, down the road!!

I would not pay the rack rate!

Course improving but not there

I have been playing Eagle Ridge since it opened. At one time was pristine and top rated course, today having to pay $113 for a course with greens that are pretty torn up and fairways with many bare spots. The tee boxes were not well maintained. Best part was sand traps which they re did and were great. The course layout is challenging and has incredible potential. Knew something was off when had easy to get tee time and through eight holes did not see anyone. Tge driving range was a joke. I hope the put more money into the course that would justify the price. Until tgen will wait another few years and hope gets better

Surprisingly, nice track

I didn’t know what to expect, but I was pleasantly surprised, especially for the price. I played from the Blacks. From those tees, There were several very long par threes and very long par fours. The par fives were no joke either. There were a couple of tee boxes that had nothing but dirt but for the most part, they were in good shape. The greens were fantastic. I can’t wait to play this course again.

Bad fairways over priced

Love this course been playing it for years.

Usually in great shape. Fair ways were incredibly bad.

Greens were good tho. Price is insane for what you get.

Overall I would go back only on a hot deal. No way am I paying over $100 to play this course

Rain just got to be too much

Great customer service although the snack shack was closed and there is no restaurant. The course was holding up to the rain. If it weren't for the non refundable payment through Golf Now We probably wouldn't of even started the round. But got through 7 and decided it was time to quit. Just too much water all at once.

course condition getting worse every time

Eagle ridge used to be a course with great course condition. Green was perfectly managed, fairway was like a carpet. Now, it's becoming really bad. So many weeds on the green, fairway is uneven, teebox is in a horrible shape. Not sure I wanna play here again.
