The Eagles Golf Club - Forest

I have always loved the layout of this course. It’s not in the pristine condition it was 15 years ago but was not horrible. Still a lot of hurricane debris along the wooded areas but I am sure it will take a little time. Also, it was a ghost town. I felt like we had the whole course to ourselves. It was fun. My son and I enjoyed it.

Friends told me the Eagles was improving so I went . After the round I wish I had played some where else. They do not appear to have cut the rough since the hurricane 2 weeks ago. Lost balls in almost any area of rough. They have not really cleaned up the storm debris, trees, sticks and leaves are littered on every hole. Other courses in the area in much better shape.

We greatly enjoyed our round on the Forest course! The grounds crew team(s) should be commended and given an A+ for the shape and condition of the course so soon after two major storms. The young girl (I believe her name was Sarah) was very pleasant and accommodating as well as very, it was a pleasure dealing with her.

It had been about 12 years since our foursome last had the opportunity to play at the Eagles, and your renovations are very well done! Unfortunately the course has matured as much as we have and unfortunately what we recalled as to how we use to play some of the holes has now exceeded our skills!

Great day with great friends and your teams helped make it even better! Big Thank you!

Most of the fairways were in decent shape, and the greens we average. The rough is a disaster and looks like it hasnt been mowed in weeks. Shots just off the green nestled down into 4-5 inches of rough, and you literally had to be standing over it to find it. This course gets a lot of rain and doesnt always drain well, so I can understand there might be some places they couldnt mow. Not sure I'd go back unless it was for a discounted rate.

I understand it has rained every day lately. Many holes were a swamp. We lost a half dozen balls in the fairway or the rough. Not a single trap had been raked for many days...complete hardpan. I've played this course many times before, but for this price, in this condition, it's just a bad value. Now I understand why the course was not busy on a Sunday at 11am. We won't be back until later in the fall.

Son and I played 18. Nice course and spotted around 15 deer during the round.

For the money, this is hard to beat. The Forrest course was nice, but swampy due to the rain. We saw plenty of deers throughout the day, and it felt like a nature getaway. Course was decent, and had a few long par 5 which I enjoyed. Definitely great value for the money.

I’m new to golf. I will play anywhere at any time. This is the first time I’ve ever written a review. I was warned by my friends how the place has gone so far down hill and I didn’t listen because I figured they were being dramatic. The course was in terrible condition, pace of play took over 5 hours, and I paid $80+ for the round. I would have been better off going to a local muni. Not going back.

Couple greens has big dead spots but the hole wasn’t near the spots. Course in good condition but the ninth and 10th holes are not by the clubhouse so no food or beverage available at the turn.

I’ve played at the Eagles many times in the past and have never really had a complaint until now. I booked a 8:22 tee time and upon arrival I was told I have to wait until the rest of the morning league makes the turn. I had to wait for roughly 6 groups to go through before I was allowed to start. The worst part is that nobody cared. I was told “ yeah they didn’t hold enough spots for the league, sorry.” What is the point of tee times, if you’re going to make someone wait nearly an hour to tee off. I’m still waiting for a manager to call me back.

Course was awesome. Fairways were nice - greens had a FEW dead spots on a couple but overall were solid (very fast). Lot of dog-legs so unless you’re a low handicap you’re laying up on a lot of the par 4-5s. Pace of pay was good unlike what I read on the reviews. Would definitely play again

One bad thing is some golfers seem to not fix their divots on the green but that is obviously out of the course’s control

My 5th time playing when I am in Tampa Area.

Course is always in good condition. Play moves along smoothly.

Absolutely recommend.

I had played the course a few weeks earlier and commented that many of the greens were in tough shape - covered in sand, making chipping and putting difficult. The sand has worked it's way into the soil and the greens are in better shape now. Still a tough course for me. Lots of dog legs,,left and right, so you have to hit your drive in the right spot to make the corner.
