The Eagles Golf Club - Forest

I visit the Tampa/Orlando area for a long golf weekend with old friends every winter. This course has been on my wish list for several years. Some reviews made me nervous about course conditions but I was very impressed. Tee boxes were definitely too thin/sandy, but the rest of the course was in great shape. The only rough areas we noticed on greens were on a few edges. Pin placements largely took these bad spots out of play. The course layout, at a price far below many comparable courses in the area, is worth the trip.

Water and dense trees line every hole, so bring extra balls unless you’re able to consistently keep it in the fairway.

Nothing too fancy about the pro shop, but I hit 0 shots in there.

Excellent layout, but teeboxes was terrible (white teeboxes)

Need a better maintenance.

Tee boxes very sandy, fairways and greens fast due to lack of rain

Truly enjoyed playing the Forest Course for the second time. It is a fun but challenging course, with water and traps in all the right (or wrong) places! Also saw turkeys, osprey, alligators, squirrels, ibis, and other wildlife despite being in the middle of a really nice development. Go play!

The Eagles used to be the go-to course in the Tampa area for a solid 4-star great value round every time. Unfortunately over the past year conditions have gone off a cliff, the course is for sale and it seems to be hanging by a thread. This is not the place it was and it’s sad to see.

The tee boxes are sand boxes, both courses seem to be intentionally overbooked so you’ll have to wait for a cart, range & practice area are trash, clueless staff, they don’t answer phone calls.

The eagles has always had very solid greens. This was a course you would go to so that you could work on your game. The greens are so bad and slow right now it is an embarrassment to the game of golf.

You will also never see a ranger. It pains me to write this review but somebody needs to do something over there to bring this place back to life. I won’t give up on you but I’m certainly not the only one that feels this way.

when we got to the course they were so over booked that we had to wait a half an hour for a cart. when we got to the first tee it was in terrible shape grassless, uneven and could not find a level place to stand, in fact every tee box was like that. The greens were not in much better shape than the tees. The pace of play was very slow, standing around between every shot. I have played this course many times even played tournaments here this is the worst I have ever seen it. The cost of greens fees and the shape of the course makes it one that I would skip if wanting to play in the Tampa area.

Tee off 8:15, played in 31/2 hrs. Course was challenging with water and dog legs, conditions were good, 1 or 2 greens were spotty as well as a few tee boxes but for this time of year overall the course was in good shape

Course in very rough shape. Tee boxes non existant

I've played here many times and I like the courses. Unfortunately these are about the worst conditions I have seen here. The tees are HORRIBLE and dusty. The greens are just OK and the fairways are generally thin.

Why am I not surprised? These courses possibly get more traffic than all the others in this area and the course is showing that it is tired and getting worn out as a result. It's a shame and I hope they can bring it back to where it was.

A friend and I played the Forest Course and enjoyed it. It is a great layout and plays well but the tee boxes need some work. Clubhouse is nice and the staff is friendly. Overall, a good golf experience.
