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.

Love these courses!

I come here at least 2 times per week and the course employees are very accommodating. Always in great shape whether it's the Lakes course or the Forest. Today played the Forest and even after the rain the course was in great shape.

Don't waste your time

I was very disappointed with the layout and course quality. This was the fourth and final round of four in the Tampa area in late Jan. Here is what I didn't like....

- uninspiring layout, no real interesting or memorable holes

- flat boring greens with nearly nil slopes on more than half the greens

- target golf,

- no stakes marking water hazards

- no course guide book or gps in cart to help first time navigate distances to bunkers and water hazards

- bumpy greens

The course plays through a community which you find with many FLA courses. I won't be back, suggest others think twice.

Probably one of the better public courses near Tarpon Springs. The greens were very nice and the rest of the course was in good shape. It is challenging but fair. No complaints.

Better Than Being in Chicago

First and foremost...greens were great. But rest of the course was just average. Tee boxes and the fairways needed much trimming. But I will not complain too much because it's far better playing here than at home in Chicago. Bunkers in great shape. Sand is soft and responds to shots well.

The course is pretty straight forward; nothing too tricky. I would have played the Lake course but there was an outing. I will recommend to others to take a shot on both courses.

Great layout and fast greens!

The golf course overall was in good condition and is a very good layout, with many narrow fairways and great greens. Great value for the money we paid, which was $45 on a Saturday. If you're in the Tampa area give it a try.

The Eagles Golf Club Forest Course

12:51 tee time w/ wife, retirement round from my ER family. This course should the "other Lakes course". Has 1 or 2 less lakes than the Lake Course but has more forced water carries. Just as nice a condition as the Lakes course: tee boxes, fairways & greens plush w/ the greens rolling true & fast. Unlike the Lakes Course, does not stop by the club house after nine so I suggest getting enough drinks & snacks @ start of round. Well worth the 1.5 hour drive.

Good course ...

The only negative thing I have to say about the course is the driving range. Hitting balls in water is something I'm not use too. I guess its a Florida thing.

Keep it in the Rotation

I run a weekly golf group, and we kicked off our season playing the Forrest Course. We will certainly be back. Don't net the yardage fool you. We are all between a 15 and 19 handicappers and the White tees were plenty challenging.

Beautiful landscaping, trees, and ponds. Interesting wildlife included deer, birds, and an egg laying turtle on a tee box. Challenging yet fair layout. Recently sanded greens but still playable. We had a very good experience and will return.
