Poor Conditions

Although this course has a great layout and fun to play, I was disappointed with the poor condition of the course for the money paid. Bare spots and clover on the greens, tees are full of weeds and fairways have bare spots, i.e. #9, but are roped off with no effort being made to grow grass. Why not let us ride on it if you're not going to bring it back.

Poor Cart Control

Club House said I need to share the cart with someone else, nad gave me his name but no cart number or other info. I needed to ask every gentleman on the range if he's my co-rider. If course wants to force the cart sharing, the cart rider info & number should be written & controlled. Otherwise, they needed to call him to pick me up in the club house.

Nice course for gilroy

There are good views with trees/mountains on one side and above the city on the other. Many lay-up holes are challenging if you're not great with irons. Amenities are not great if you get there in the morning only thing available is the grab-and-go for a simple breakfast burrito, sandwiches, beer cans, shooters, and candy. In the afternoon their clubhouse restaurant was closed due to something about the kitchen. A lot of elevated shots on the back 9 which is nice also hole 11 can be hard to find if you never played before. I noticed all the tee boxes in santa clara county courses are not as great compared to Monterey county courses. Fairway isn't the best shape either but it plays fine.

Horrible Golf Course Conditions

I've played Eagle Ridge throughout the years. I've seen the decline in the course maintenance and this time was the worst that it has been in years. The Tee Box's were more dirt than grass. Fairway was trimmed only in certain parts, Around the green's was grass that wasn't cut. Overall just sad that this course has continued to decline.

Won't play here again

The staff was great. The course was poorly maintained. Dry & bare in spots, swampy in others. Weeds growing sporadically in the fairways & greens. The breakfast burritos did not impress.

I expected a much better experience for the money.

A lot of forced carries.

First time playing the course. I played with someone that has played the course many times, glad I did. Playing this course for the first time without some knowledge is tough. A lot of forced carries so you have to know where to lay up. The only problem was the fairways were really wet so you weren't getting any roll. Greens were in great shape, bunkers were also in great shape. As I said the only problem were the fairways. Made a mental note for the next time I play the course as I will play it again.
