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.

Disappointed On How Bad Course Conditions Have Become

This course was able to justify its cost at one point, but that is no longer the case.

There are weeds growing on about almost all fairways, and there are areas multiple holes that have a lot of moisture - it made for a swampy setting…in the middle of summer- that is confusing to me. The tee boxes were atrocious.

I wish this course was in conditions that justify this price. That was the case at one point, unfortunately that is not the case anymore. Will not be coming here for the remainder of 2024.
