Eagle Ridge Golf Club

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.

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.

Excellent conditions (finally a course with sand in the bunkers!), helpful staff, practice facilities could be better (range mats on a weekend at a high end daily fee???), poor excuse for short game area when they actually have usable real estate for one, practice putting green has no level spots and while course greens can be slope-y and mildly severe in places much of the practice green has you practicing putts you'll never see on the course

Course layout is pretty good...many bunkers were under construction and we're not playable...greens ok...pace of play fine...staff were friendly..much better if the course was ready for play..

This course is well worth the hike to Gilroy, though not one for high handicappers. Gorgeous setting in the hills, with great architectural touches and considerable variation from hole to hole keeps it interesting. The course is extremely challenging, without feeling ridiculous or unfair. On most holes, there is a correct way to play the hole, which can be very rewarding once you figure it out. The signature 9th hole is a great example - 5 iron off the tee followed by a 5 wood to the green, created an opportunity for par on this difficult hole. I have to comment on the 12th which is picturesque with a bridge reminiscent of the 12th at Augusta, which is the only nice thing I can say about it :) after it has kicked your butt and left you whimpering, you come upon the 200+ yard uphill par 3 where a driver might be a perfectly good choice for many; best to abandon notions of par, and walk away happy with a 4 on this one!

The fairways were in great shape where it counts, and the greens rolled true and fast. The rough is generally not penal, though there is plenty of trouble if you go looking for it; there are numerous bunkers and they can be tough - it is best to stay out of them. I was in a couple of greenside bunkers and found enough sand to play a reasonable shot, but some of the fairway bunkers did look kind of worn out and hard packed.

Overall, a great round, and I am definitely going back.

Course has a great layout and pretty good conditions for the time of the year. Only downfall would be the price. It's a nice course but it still isn't as a nice as the courses in AC like Ballamor, Twisted Dune, etc. You can get deals to the AC courses for under $50 and Eagle Ridge prices are around $80. I wouldn't pay more than $50 to play Eagle Ridge. There are much better options for a much cheaper cost.

golfnow.com rated 4.4 for this course. But I think 4.1 or 2 is more appropriate.

Greens could be a bit more receptive, but overall a challenging course in great condition.

Booked in as a single player at this course for the first time but paired up with another single and a double, foursome altogether. I had heard about the course before and my initial impression on the course was great and it remained the same throughout. This challenging 18-hole course seemed to have a superb maintenance. There were some breath-taking views that I enjoyed.

Love this place. They keep the course in impeccable condition pretty much year-round. And their fees are always reasonable. The greens are firm, fast and they roll true. It is a tough test. Nearly every hole out there requires precision off the tee. Hazards are a constant presence tee to green. But at no point does it feel gimmicky, goofy or unfair. They fit this course into the landscape perfectly and it was built with modern drainage and water-management practices so I've never seen it soggy OR dried out.

It gets windy up there. And with forced carry shots and challenging approaches, this course requires you to play smart. I've never broken 80 there, and I've had my butt kicked a few times, but I keep coming back. Worth the drive from anywhere.

THE COURSE WAS IN GREAT CONDITION. THE COURSE I THINK IS VERY TRICKY AND TOO DIFFICULT FOR MY ABILITY ( 19 HCP ). THE PRICE WAS RIGHT AND I WILL PLAY IT AGAIN EVEN THO I THINK THERE ARE WAY TO MANY BUNKERS OF WHICH THERE IS VERY LITTLE SAND IN THEM.

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.

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.

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

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!

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.

Greens were rolling 11+, and on these Johnny Miller undulations, two putting is not trivial no matter where you are! Very challenging!

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...

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.)

This is the time of year for the greens to be punched, and Eagle Ridge greens were healing nice, and rolled great.
