The Eagles Golf Club - Forest

Tee boxes really need work they were in poor condition. Greens could also be better. Overall it’s still a tough challenging course with plenty of water. Still worth the money. As everywhere else around Tampa area the pace of play could be better..

This course is one of my favorites to play in the whole area. Pace of play was a little slower today but wasn’t bad. The only thing bad about this course is the tee boxes are always awful. A lot of them are just dirt with partial grass poking up.

Tees are in rough shape. A few greens are still under repair but mostly good.

The tee boxes were often just green painted dirt. The fairways were under watered. Our tee time was delayed 15 minutes. We waited on every shot. Sometimes there were three groups on a single tee box. All of this for $65. No thank you.

From start to finish, the experience was bad. We showed up 45 minutes before our tee time to warm up, only to find that they had run out of carts and we needed to wait about 30 minutes until two were returned. That would’ve been fine because we would just go to the range to warm up. Unfortunately the course was out of range balls for the day. Things didn’t get better when we started our round. The conditions were fairly poor (burnt out fairways, sandy greens/tee boxes, messy bunkers, patchy rough). The layout was average. The pace of play was shocking. Could not have been worse. The group in front of us was a fivesome, so we were waiting 5-10 minutes before every shot. The group behind us hit into us no less than 5 times. I realize that on Saturday afternoon it isn’t going to be quick, but holy smokes this was bad. We skipped the final three holes because we couldn’t take it anymore. Bad experience on a bad course. 0/10 would not recommend. We got a deal on golfnow and it’s still not worth it.

Not really sure what has happen here, but the tee boxes are destroy.

The greens are not good either

Pace of play is just bad, 9 holes 3 hours, we quit on the 9 it’s not fun to wait 10 min on every tee box.

This course has never been this bad, I have no idea what is happening, the slow pace of is something we all need to get used to.

So many people that never had a golf lesson out there, but is the new norm.

But the course looking that bad , that I have no idea.

Things started off kind of slow because it’s that time of year when we get a lot of visitors. But it picked up on the back nine and it was such a beautiful day that nothing could ruin it. The course was a bit rough in spots and the tea boxes need some serious work. However it’s a great layout and I love playing here. Her name intermediate user name OK oh images

Tee boxes were like a sandbox. Half the greens had ate-up patches.

Poor tee time planning 2 groups set t time for the forest 230pm had to stop at 14th t box already 630 and had a 41 minute delay to tee off very upset should have finished 18 holes by 630 but 5 holes behind in that time

I would have given it an overall 5 star if it weren’t for the fact that we had to wait past our scheduled tee time for a cart. This delayed our play and since we were in the afternoon we did not get to finish 18 due to cart issue, back up at each hole and darkness. Besides those issues the ‘forest’ course we played was well designed and challenging. Greens were set with some pretty backdrops. Plenty of deer and even a few gator sightings in water. I’d play it again

Played in the afternoon and pace was fine. Greens need to be improved definitely.

Course conditions are bad, putting green and range is horrible. Play was extremely slow, late for tee time due to over booking had to wait 30 mins to get a cart because they was all out on course. Will never play this course again and they want $50 to play this horrible course.

They took a long time to get carts out. Apparently not enough of them on a busy day. Once out the pace was good. Course in good shape and I enjoy the layout!

the tee boxes are disgusting. its like they havent done anything to them except drop grass seed on them. a couple of greens have hydraulic leaks from the machinery which has killed the grass.

Brief synopsis: I've played this course since the late 80's when there was a trailer for a clubhouse. The course has always been an average course but for the money it was nice to play. I have lived in the Eagles for over 20 years. The course right now is in the worst condition that I have seen in quite some time. We played the Forest course yesterday (02/24/22) and EVERY tee box was like hitting out of a sand trap. You couldn't find grass anywhere. (White tees). The tee boxes are not level sonics even difficult to find a flat surface to hit off of. The fairways were in good shape and the greens were so so. Very disappointed especially for $60. Should have been charging half that for the condition its in. Will not play here again until these issues are addressed and taken care of. I still live here but will definitely travel to play other courses. The driving range has always been horrible here but it does prepare you for the tee boxes.

This is a challenging course, especially the back 9. The fairways were in great shape, but the tee boxes (sand) were non-existent on most holes. The greens were scarred by some type of machinery and also had many sandy patches. I have come to expect more from such a nice establishment and community.
