Designed by Ron Garl and Gary Koch, the Forest Course at The Eagles Golf Club features the signature island-green sixth hole which rivals the famous 17th hole at the TPC at Sawgrass. The two outstanding championship courses at The Eagles Golf Club are kept in "tournament condition" year-round. As its name implies, much of Forest course winds through an impressive pine forest.

Still not worth the money

It’s been a year so after hearing things had gotten better I decided to give the Eagles another shot.

Not much has changed…..

Greens are furry and slow

No ranger in the course to keep on pace for a round in less than five hours

Too many bare spots in the fairways.

Saw the cart girl once, on the 11th hole.

Spend your $50 elsewhere

Excellent course, poor communication.

I booked our tee time on tee off and did not know that they were having a tournament that day. I got to the course and had a very hard time finding a parking place. I wish there was a note letting players know that it would be a 5 hour round to get finished. They told me after I started that there was 280 players that day. That is poor communication. The course was in great shape and the staff was very friendly. Can't something be done to make players aware of things like this ??????????

Really can see the changes taking place for the better!

The course owners are clearly making positive changes. New tee boxes, greens being re-planted, new carts. It looks like the Forest is returning to its glory,

Such a nice layout!

I’ve played here very often

But it’s been 4months and it will be longer until I play it again

No practice greens

Driving range Matt’s only

Many greens were half mud with the pin closest to the mud ( put the pins away from the mud

All tees newly sodded with loads of sand just flung on top of them

Pace of play kept me waiting minimum of 5 minutes every hole

Its coming along good

Its been almost a year since we play there

The tee boxes where terrible, the greens were just bad.

This time, they have re-sod all the tee boxes and most of the greens are also in good shape or been work on.

Its looking very good..

Disappointed

The overall condition of the golf clourse spoiled the day for us. Teeing grounds were terrible, with some having no turf at all. The fairways were very inconsistent, and several greens were partly relaid and orthers have large bare patches. Also there were large patches of weeds, both on the fringes and the putting surfaces.

The course needs a lot of work to bring it to an acceptable standard.

Fun and beautiful course

First time playing and booked through Golf Now so this was a great value. I played the Forest course and this was beautiful with lots of wild life and a fun layout. A few of the tee boxes were being worked on, so some holes played shorter than usual but no big deal. Some tidiness could be used in the fairways and around some of the greens but all in all a very nice place to play!

Wasn’t communicated that all of the tee boxes and greens were being repaired

Pretty ridiculous to charge full price for a course when not one tee box is playable and half the greens are under repair. Should at least have on golf now what’s going on… pretty upsetting to show up there at 8am on a Saturday and be told we’re playing course at 4500 yards and won’t be able to putt

New Tee boxes

Was not aware of maintenance being done on course. Price does not reflect a discount. Most tee boxes are not functional and everyone tees off from fairway. Looks like this will be an ongoing issue.

Course is under renovation.

I played this course two years ago while visiting Florida and thought it was amazing. This time the course was under renovation but we we were not notified. All of the tees were together up close to the fairways because they were working on the tee boxes. This made the course very short and less challenging. I will definitely play it again once the renovations are completed.
