It was ok

The course was in decent condition, however, many greens had weeds (trimmed flat) and some dead areas (no grass, just a hole with no grass growing). We played on a Sunday and the pin positions were challenging, which made things difficult, but fun.

It's not worth the full weekend price, fortunately, I took advantage of the golf now deal.

Greens need help

The fairways were in great shape.

The Greens, well I've seen much better, unbelievably slow, and intertwined with weeds on every green, cut short mind you but very distracting.

Hopefully the Course reads these reviews.

A course that needs touch ups

I can see the spots on the fairways that need help for sure looking like balding spots, but if its that bad move the ball to a clear spot as long as you dont advance it forward.

One of the holes has an old water hazard on the left of the green that looks like it was cleared out I say fill it in and make it a bunker. Tee boxes were fine looking like normal tee boxes, weed patches on fairways and tee boxes, but you can use them as an aiming point for shots! Greens were good no issues. The lay out was challenging and fun!, this course is long enough for all you bombers out there, but if you're not accurate this course will punish you cause it's tight on lots of holes know your yadages! Cause fairways have deep water streams/trenches where your ball could roll in to either just before holes or through the fairways. This is a good challenging course one of the better ones I've played, lots of challenging issues to deal with from lots of bunkers guarding elevated two tier greens to forest hazards on either side of the fairway where hooking or slicing will cost you! You got to be able to shape your shots especially when you play from the back tees! Lots of potential in this course!!! Amenities are good, clubhouse looks nice! If it did get a face lift this could be a special course!, but if it just got some TLC on some of the main complaints on said issues or main issues that always are complained about from golfers, this would be a good solid course which is fine in my book!!!

Fun course, challenging, and SO beat up.

Beautiful scenery. Challenging course. Tough to make a put over clumps of weeds. Golf is hard enough without trying to time getting it in the clown’s mouth at mini golf. Put some effort into green maintenance please.

It Use To Be Better

I thought the course conditions were a little rough. The greens need some work. Spotty growth of another grass on greens is unacceptable. The course doesn’t look like it gets enough attention as far as maintenance goes. The price should be a little lower, until course is brought up to justify price.

Chasing Pars at Eagle Ridge

Tucked in scenic canyons and surrounded by beautiful homes, Eagle Ridge offers stunning views and a tough, rewarding round. Open yet tight fairways and unforgiving greens demand precision, but the good pace of play makes it a joy to play.

top 20 toughest?

this course was noted as being one of the top 20 toughest in Bay Area...had to give it a shot...in whole, Cinnabar and Crystal Springs were tougher...but 12-17 were worth the price of admission...go enjoy
