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.

Pleasant find

Happy to find this course outside of Tampa. Enjoyed a quick round on the Forest course. conditions were great . A little sand on some greens but no big deal. Very nice staff and the mobile hot dog stand at the turn was a nice surprise.

First tee time of the day

Booked a tee time early morning. Unfortunately, it had rained all night and we were cart path only. Fairways were pretty wet but we had a great day out. Nice course. More New England style vs. a Florida course which suited me fine.

Pretty Reliable

I play this course about once to twice a month. Like most courses in the summer it gets messy with the rain, but it was drying out nicely and the greens were great. I live five minutes away and when I can play in 3 and a half hours everybody is happy!

Eagles Forest

As it was wet it was not the best time to get behind a fourball of Ladies. it took 2 hours to play 7 holes and my Wife and I drove past them missing out 2 holes.

Very disappointing as the course is well worth another visit

Great value

It was a great experience. I've played many courses in last 53 yrs . This one was well laid out . No stupid holes ( which most courses have at least one ) . The greens were near perfect . There were dear and wild turkeys on the course ., For the price it was a great value . Will play it again .,

A Little Honesty Goes Along Way

I run a weekly golf group and play all over the Tampa Bay Area. As I am driving in I see one of the green shut down and they are using a temp green. First no one ever told me they had a temp green when I booked my group. Secondly, giving my group only $5 off a already high green fee for the middle of summer is a slap in the face.

I could of played 20 courses between my house and this course, and to get there to find this out started my Saturday off on the wrong foot.

I can spend my golf $$ elsewhere. They won't be seeing me for a while.

Good Value

Course was in decent shape. Greens were a little slower than normal (probably due to the heat, needing to keep a little longer so they don't burn). Teed off @ 2, was done by 5, felt like we had the course to ourselves. Good deal for the $$. Love the layout, but could use just a little more conditioning.

NOT THE USUAL SHAPE

Have played here many times over past 10 years, most recent was several months ago when conditions were better. current greens have deteriorated with slow, bumpy conditions seen yesterday. A bit of a surprise and can only assume that current dry spell is having an effect. Last visit saw tee boxes updated and overseeded but currently a number are in tough shape, again probably the result of the drought. Love this course and expect it will be better in future.
