Rating Snapshot
About
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.

If you are local, better wait until the snow birds have fly back home
It’s been brutal..! Today was a 5 1/2 hours, it’s not fun, the course is the pace of play it’s just awefoul, terrible just terrible.
But is to be espected, it’s snow birds season, the price go up, and the courses are packed.
It’s fine, I’m a local so I just make tee times, where I know the birds have problems getting too., lol
We won’t be going back until December or January, it’s when things kind of go back to a 3 or 4 hours round.
One thing is good, you won’t be buying golf balls for a while this guys buy the expensive ones and loos then all, so go find all bunch of balls lol
We apologize for the pace of play issue you experienced. We always try to keep a great pace when having our golfers on the course. Thank you for taking the time to give us your feedback as we will use your review to better the experience going forward. We hope you give us another try in the near future!
Rough shape
Not as impressive as their website shows. The pro shop is nice and the carts are okay. We saw a lot of wildlife. Birds, gators, and deer.
Almost every one of the tee boxes was dirt. Not grass or sand, but dirt. A lot of the course is brown. About half of the greens aren’t even playable.

Eagles
Excellent layout, plays long…really enjoyed the greens…l was told the other course (Lakes) the greens are beat up?

NOT GOOD
The tee boxes and greens are awful. Some of the tee boxes were more like bunkers. The greens were a mess and very very slow. It’s been a few years since I played here and will not be going back. Pace of play was slow and didn’t see a Ranger all day. The only positive was the cart girls were very friendly. Definitely not worth the $40.

Poor greens
Nice layout, but the greens were in poor condition. Not worth over 40$.

Forest course
A number of the tee boxes and greens had significant bare areas.
Thanks so much for the great review, u553670516. We look forward to welcoming you back to our course soon. Thanks for choosing The Eagles Golf Club - Forest.
Great layout
The courses in fantastic shape now that everything has dried out from the rainy season. the greens were rolling true fairways filling in and there's even . only downside to this is the driving range it's like a giant bunker with some grass growing on it but it'll do the job for a couple of swings before you tee off
Hello, hoover1720. Thank you for visiting us at The Eagles Golf Club - Forest. We appreciate your 4-star rating and review. We hope you join us for another round soon.
Too slow
Twosome in from of us too slow. Foursome in from of them too slow. They should have rangers policing the slow groups and making them let faster players play thru. It’s very annoying waiting and watching slow players and honestly it disrupts my tempo and I get frustrated.

Slow play and poor conditions
5+ hour round stuck behind drunks passing around Igloo jugs of booze. Ranger did absolutely nothing to improve pace of play, despite passing 4 different times during the round. He was always happy to tell us about a poor shot he saw them hit. Absolutely useless.
A number of tee boxes are straight sand. Every green had numerous damaged areas and were not enjoyable to putt on at all. Cups looked like they hasn’t been moved all weekend.
$50 is too much for a round at The Eagles for the condition it’s in and the horrendously slow play. I enjoy the layout but won’t be back for a while.

Wonderful
One of my favorite courses here. Great layout. One hole I don't like (really, it just doesn't like me). Tees, fairways and greens are in excellent condition for summer in Florida. Electric carts, with GPS. But be careful getting too close to the greens. A great day!
Thank you for your review, 88bogeyman. We will pass along your positive experience to our team at The Eagles Golf Club - Forest. We look forward to seeing you again soon.
The starter was very unorganized. Tee time was 9:52am and didn't end up teeing off until almost 10:30am. No ranger on the course ensuring pace of play. Large groups should be monitored to make sure they are not holding everyone else up. Overall took 3 hours to play the front 9.

Weather Hurt
The course had long rough and even fairways. Get it the weather has been real wet. That’s hard to mow, but that didn’t help my game

Greens were at moderate speed possibly because of the incessant rains we have had. Course is challenging. Overall a good experience… looking forward to playing here again.
Hello, prafuul. Thank you for visiting us at The Eagles Golf Club - Forest. We appreciate your 4-star rating and review. We hope you join us for another round soon.
The worst conditions of ANY course in the Tampa area
Terrible tees, greens and fairways. It’s too bad because it is a very nice layout that has steadily gone downhill over the past ten years. I won’t play it again. The first impression is the putting green and driving range, both of which have not seen any TLC in months. How hard is it to grow grass in the summer in Florida.? Not very! If I was a member I would resign. If I was an Eagles homeowner, I would move.
