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.

Had 8:22 tee time and I was called on my way to the course, telling me they had more people than expected show up for a tournament and they would not be able to honor my tee time because there would not be enough carts for us. Because it was last minute we were unable to find a tee time anywhere else

Mismanaged

Booked the tee time 4 days in advance, only to show up and be told "they oversold a tournament" that day and now have no golf carts available so they cancelled our tee time. NO CALL, NO EMAIL, NOTHING. When we pointed to the 50 golf carts sitting over in the parking lot, we were told we wouldn't be back in time for the start so therefore they weren't an option, but we could "walk" if we wanted to play.

Several half-hearted apologies, a "voucher" for 50% off a foursome that (SHOCKING) can only be used M-F or after 2p on Saturday or Sunday, when basically no one wants to play. Didn't even offer to refund my Reservation Fee.

I'll find a way to use the voucher, but probably won't even go back again. Shame too, since the course looked beautiful.

Ok, need to take care of washrooms

The clerk at check in did not seem to be trained well. The washrooms between 7 & 8 were disgusting. No tp or paper to dry hands. The garbage was overflowing. In very dirty condition.

The only problem was that the cart GOS was not working. When I tried to change carts the attendant told me other carts were also not working. Very disappointing.

Nice track!

Both Forest and Lakes are my go to courses when I come to Tampa! They do a great job here and course is usually in very good condition. The pace of play can be slow at times and that’s my only beef. They really should have a starter there that puts doubles together. In fact all courses should tell people up front that is the policy It would help with pace of play

Problematic Carts

Golf cart died 3 times during the round, had to wait for staff to bring new cart, couldn't even finish the round due to waiting around. Instead of a raincheck or refund the the associate said we can come back and spend more money on another round to make things better... what a joke. Tee boxes are sand boxes and staff is unable to take care of customer relations. It's ashame to have such potential and throw it away. Charging premium rates for 1 star course and service. I hope they figure things out....

The Forest Course greens in bad shape

I played Eagles Golf Club The Forest course on November 11.2021. I was very disappointed in the shape of the greens and a number of tee boxes.

I have been playing both the Lakes and the Forest courses for a number of years and have never seen the Forest course in this bad of shape before.

A number of greens were patched and others had bad spots that had been filled with sand.

We arrived at 11.30 am and were told there was a cart availability issue. The starter was good in keeping us us informed of cart status until we were allocated two carts around 12.40pm.

Never had a cart issue before at this course. Wondering what the issue was?

Will not play the Eagles Forest course again. Hoping the Lakes course doesn't have the same green and tee block issues.

Greens are in bad condition. Lots of greens are being worked on. Speed was slow. Tee boxes were not that great either. We were told that the GPS were not working on the carts because they were draining the batteries. Very disappointed
