The Eagles Golf Club - Forest
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.

good course, good value
course was in very good condition, played at a comfortable pace
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.
One of my favorite
Both Eagles courses are great, but I especially enjoy Forest. Great layout and always in great shape! Staff is always pleasant and accommodating. Wish they had a more vibrant bar.
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 Layout
I always enjoy playing this course, it has a great layout with a variety of shaped holes.
The staff are very attentive
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 $$ elsewhere. They won't be seeing me for a while.
Course is in great shape
The Eagles Forest is in great shape. The recent rains certainly helped. I've played this course numerous times, but this was one of the finest days to play.
Fairways and Greens were in excellent condition
This is a must play course in the Tampa area, particularly for the cost. The staff was very accommodating and professional. Can't wait to play it again.
Good Value
Course was in decent shape. Greens were a little slower than normal (probably due to the heat, needing to keep a little longer so they don't burn). Teed off @ 2, was done by 5, felt like we had the course to ourselves. Good deal for the $$. Love the layout, but could use just a little more conditioning.
Nice course
We love to play every time. Esp staff member s r very friendly. Keep up with good job
One of Tampa's Best Layouts
Really great layout with nice conditions. Greens fees are a little steep but many other courses in the area to choose for day 2 of an outing.
great lay out! pars 3 tough !
great course, has 39 holes.
fairways need some work
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.
