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.

Very nice golf course
Excellent condition inspite of the torrential rain for the past few days.
caesaresperanza,
Thank you for wonderful review. We are thrilled you found the course in such great condition. We can't wait to see you soon.
Eagles Forest: 8/12/2016
Always fun, greens good. Course wet from weeks rain so cartpaths only and some fairly wet areas. We played lift, clean, and place tee to green for relief.
Thank you for the review! We really appreciate you taking the time to leave feedback and we hope to see you again soon!
Great nature quite and peaceful
I very enjoy play at this course. Love the layout and the length of each hole. Played seven time in the tournament.
Thanks for the review, Shawn! We are happy to hear how much you enjoy our course and hope to see you again soon!
Always a good place to play.
Course is in great shape even with all the rain. Staff is very friendly and quick to answer any questions about course conditions. Greens in good shape and putted well. Played here many times, one of my favorite courses.
Thank you for your 5 Star review! We are thrilled to be considered one of your favorite courses and to hear the great things you have had to say about your experience with us. Thanks for playing and hope to see you soon!
Favorite Course
Been playing the Eagles since 1980 when I moved to Florida. Always one of my favorite golf destinations. Was a factor in buying a home here. Great community and clubhouse. Full service restaurant open to public. Great dinner specials and great happy hour. We and our friends frequent happy hour daily. All day on Sunday!
Thank you for your 5 Star review! We are thrilled to hear how much you enjoy our course and even that it is one of your favorite golf destinations! We are looking forward to having you back soon!
Nice course--the forrest
The course, staff, amenities, are all top notch. Play started right at my tee time, no hold-ups the entire round. Course is in very good shape. That being said, any shots slightly out of the fairway into the rough, and you are probably not going to find your ball, even if you know where it went off at. The course is a bit low lying, and if it has rained recently, they are not able to keep the grass cropped like you would expect on the fringes of the fairways. All in all, great course for the money. Saw several deer and other wild life.
Thank you for your review! We are glad that you had an enjoyable day on our course and hope you come back and play again soon!
great course
One of the best courses I have played in the Tampa Bay area. Great layout. Saw incredible wild life on the course
Happy to hear it! Thanks for the review. We'd love to have you back!
great course
course is in great condition and staff very friendly. Picked a day that was quiet so pace of play was fantastic.
Thank you for your 5 star review! We're happy to hear about your excellent experience with us! Come back and play again soon.
A must play
The Forest Course is not long, even from the blues it comes out to only around 6200 yards but they are not easy yards. Drives need to be well placed to avoid trouble. Missing the green on approaches and par 3s can be very hazardous. A few of the sand traps were very wet due to recent rains. Otherwise course conditions were good even though recently aerated. While it's never a pleasure to play on aerated greens, they still rolled and held pretty well. Its just strange to see a shot hit the green and sand spray up. Otherwise a truly enjoyable round. Staff was excellent. Unfortunate the clubhouse was closed that afternoon due to private parties but the beverage service on the course was great and not as expensive as many other courses.
Thank you for your 5 star review! We appreciate your feedback as it helps future golfers know what to expect from our course. Hope to see you soon!
Been a While
App. 5 yrs. since playing the Lakes course { usually play Forest} and did not disappoint. The Tee boxes and fairways were immaculate, not a bunch of roll in the fairways but man you can compress your golf ball with excellent lies. The greens were fast and true. Lakes is a great , traditional layout. This was my buddy's {5 handicap} first time and he absolutely loved it. shot 77 and had a lot of G.I.R'S but must have missed at least a 1/2 dozen makeable birds. The prices at the 19th hole are very reasonable and a great bunch of folks working there.
We're thrilled you made it back out here again and that you had a great round, uYEXG9382YE! We appreciate the great tips and hope you make it back again soon!
BLUE TEES A MUST
PLAYED THE WHITE TEES AND DROVE THRU THE FAIRWAYS ON MANY HOLES
Great advice, u899693692!
Never disappoints
One of my favorite courses. Would have been a great day except for the extremely slow foresome in front of us that would not let us play through
Thank you for taking the time to leave a review, Richard6237463! We apologize for the slow play and thank you for your patience. Please come and visit again soon!
Great Times at the Eagles!
Played the Forest course for the second time this year recently with some buddies. This track is awesome...tons of nature and lots of trees! It's without question on of the better courses for the $ you can play! Everybody in the staff was friendly and our price the golfnow was a steal. Will be returning soon as the course has been added to our regular rotation. Great value/great scenery/great conditions!
We're thrilled that you had a great time with us, panuthos! We love hearing from our golfers!
Great Layout/Great value and good pace.
Played this course regularly years ago. Since the new ownership took over it is so much better. Challenging course on the Forest side. Greens were rolling very nice. Some tee boxes needed some tlc, but that happens.
Thank you for taking the time to leave a review, skteeitup! We hope you'll come and play again soon!
One of the best semi-private courses in Tampa
Always enjoy playing here. Mostly open fairways, keep driver in bag on some holes, precision iron shots needed to hit and hold the greens with some tough pin placements. Greens not too fast, not too slow, roll true. Challenging layout with variety and character. Friendly staff and players. Bottled water in carts was appreciated.
Thanks for taking the time to leave a review, John6815181! We're glad that you had a fun and challenging round with us!
Average
The course is maintained but not in the best shape. The staff is attentive. I played it for a great price through golf now so I feel I definitely got my money's worth.
We appreciate the feedback, Glehn9356083 and we hope to see you again soon.
Lots of nature
Deer, gators , turkeys ! Nice course. The feel of the wild in a neighborhood . Greens are in great shape.
Thank you for the review, u000001584904! We're glad that you enjoyed the wildlife!
Nice course
Nice course, friendly staff. Greens in good condition. We (3) had to wait 5 minutes on every T-box as a very slow foursome just did not let us and a twosome ahead of us pass.. More guidance from a marshall would be great. 5 hours us just too long....
Thank you for the feedback, aknoepfli! We will look into this and we thank you for your patience with the slow group.
Very nice course and nice soft greens!!!
Very very nice course and very soft greens in nearly perfect condition! I would play this course again and highly recommend it!
