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.

Course was in rougher shape than last year

The tee boxes were in rough shape. The greens were also inconsistent with rough areas. I have found this to be a fun course in the past, but the course could use a little love.

Most tee boxes from the white tips were in pretty bad shape. Also 3 greens were pretty rough too. It was not this way when we played here about 5-6 weeks ago.

Needs some tlc

We love this course, but it’s not in a good shape not sure what happened.

The tee boxes are destroyed, nothing but sand

The greens are not good, there is no grass just dirt, hopefully they are re-doing the greens or someone screw up very bad.

Usually is in shape , again I hope is just renovation.

Poor management

The course was so over booked or under equipped 30 people were waiting for carts.. Tee times were 30 to45 mins behind. No one word of apology or offer to compensate.. 1 hour drive to turn around.

Nice layout, good greens/fairways, bad tees

Played as a Single. Hit 3 balls to stay in between 4 somes.

Tees are ripped up, but greens and fairways are nice.

Interesting layout. Grass showing winter dormancy.

But worth $30.

great value

Having played a couple muni's in my first week here, I have to say my visit at the Forest course was far superior. No offence to the others but, pace of play and course conditions were wonderful. A few greens could have been a little better, but it"s early February.

Will be back for the Lakes.

Needs some work

Tee boxes are in poor shape. Like standing in a bunker. More sand than grass. Greens have a lot of damage. Would expect a lot better for a course that charges $35.00 and up for a round. This course has the potential to be great, but it's going to need a lot of work to get there.

Challenging but fun

The course is in great shape from tee box to greens. You have to navigate around large trees that are conveniently located in the middle of the fairway on 2, maybe 3 holes. I’d play this course again now that I’ve learned more about the layout.

Have always liked this course. Nice layout. Challenging but fair. Fairways and greens were in very nice condition. However, many of the tees looked totally torn apart, with lots of missing grass and large areas of nothing but sand. Tees looked like they belonged on a totally different course from the fairways and greens. Again, I like this course and will return, and hopefully I’ll see tee condition improvement.

Course rating

I played the Forest course yesterday with a friend . We were very disappointed. Too much hype. this is our assessment after travelling 75 miles ,one way.

The course is out in the boonies.

Maintenance -Very poor. Tee boxes were sandy.no grass.

Greens seemed painted( artificial) with lots of patches.

Fairways were average. Water in play on virtually all holes.

Directions to Forest course were absent.

Cart not washed or cleaned.

Pro shop was small with fewer items on sale
