The Eagles Golf Club - Forest

This was one of worst rounds of my life.i ripped it down the middle and found the ball in free-standing water! Course was soaking wet and 90 degrees only. No place to take a drop even if i wanted to. Went into the proshop to ask about a rain check and the guy said sorry talk to Golf Now. This is a crime to let folks pay a green fee for this when it is unplayable. i understand we are in a pandemic but this is totally bogus and wrong!!!

8am tee time, course was unplayable due to overnight flooding, yet the staff said it was a-ok. It took us an hour to play two holes as we literally lost every ball we hit as they could not be found in the fairways or rough. Fairway grass was brown and rotten, too soggy to stand in, rough was flooded with inches of standing water.. Greens were in decent shape. I've played here before and enjoyed the course, but the staff needs to better communicate with patrons on the course conditions. Typically a 4-star review would be warranted, but buyer beware.

Fairways were burnt. There wasn't a good place to be except on the greens. Lost balls just inside cart paths or just off the cart paths. Even heard a resident complain he lost a ball in the fairway. When booking there was no mention of condition

$50 dollars for this course is a complete waste of money. Used to be nice but as completely turned into a total disaster. Fairways are furrier than an unkept whisker biscuit. You would be better off taking your $50 bones and getting yourself a couple of cases of natty ice or miller high life and pounding beers for 5 hours (I say 5 hours because that’s how long it will take you to play a round here). If you do decide to go, I thoroughly suggest taking a couple of Xanax before the round because maybe you’ll get lucky and pass out and forget that you just wasted precious hours of your life that you will never get back.

There are literally 20+ public courses in Tampa for nearly half the price that are better than this dump

During summertime in Florida it's expected to rain just about every day. Fortunately, most courses are set up to drain well and allow play during the rainy season. Unfortunately, The Eagles isn't set up for this. Understandably, carts were required to remain on paths, but the fairways and rough were so saturated, balls plugged deeply and were difficult to find (I lost 3 balls in the fairway). While courses only make money when people play, I would have appreciated a warning of how sloppy the course was playing. To top it off, a brief downpour occurred after 6 holes. Needless to say, today was a washout.

I've played the course many other times. During dry conditions, the course is practically flawless. But during the rainy season, it's best to stay away.

Greens were good. Fairways muddy, a lot of weeds. Staff really nice!

Course was soaked due to all the rain we’ve had. Great layout, fun course to play. Not the best greens but not horrible. Decent shape for time of year.

Many of the greens on the forest course have weed growth. This affects many putts. Too bad is this is an otherwise great layout.

Overall good course, normally kept in good condition.

Many of the greens have weeds growing all over them. The weeds will move your putts off line. Teeboxes are very weedy and some have little grass. The layout is great so worth playing.

My first time at Eagles was one to remember. I’ve been playing many courses around the area recently and the Forest course here ranks high up on the list. Fairways and greens are in great shape, fun and challenging course. Looking forward to coming back and trying out the lakes course.

We had two great days of golf at the Eagles the past two weeks. The Forest course was cart path only, due to the rain we had last week, but it was much dryer today. Green rolled fast and true! Great course, in great condition, and a great price!

The course is not one you want to play after any type of all day rain, it does not drain well so we had cart path only all day, which surprisingly didn't slow us down too much. The course is a fantastic mix of holes that I've loved playing over the past 6yrs, this year the course has gone down a little bit, but the greens make up for it, they are rolling nicely.

Overall I would suggest playing the course and the guys in the proshop are helpful in getting you out.

Practice range was interesting. Hitting into a lake. Starter was very friendly. Course layout was great. Always moving forward never seeing the previous hole. (Doesn't seem to zig zag) lots of fun holes.. some wide open driving holes, some requiring smart placement. A few dead spots on some greens but very small not affecting play.. Looking forward to playing it again. Well worth the drive and money.
