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.

Green suck
Course has a great layout, staff is excellent, green are terrible, 3 different kinda of grass, big chuncks missing here and there, uneven cut hard to roll at all.
Overbooked
3 foursomes had tee times within 12 minutes of each other. Lead to a long round, lots of waiting, luckily it was a beautiful day.
Nice Layout but.....
I was a single and booked a 1035 tee time. I got there at 10 and bought a bucket of balls. The starter was working as hard as he could, but it seemed like they were just handing out tee times whether they were available or not. No exaggeration, there were about 12 - 15 carts lined up on the first tee on the Forest course. I got paired with a 3some with a 1055 tee time. We didn't tee off until 1145. We were told that once we tee'd off, we'd get moving along, but we were waiting on every hole which made it about a 5.5 hr round plus the 1.5 hour wait. That's unacceptable. Such a shame, too, cause its a nice course. I won't be going there again.
Decent Course, Unbelievably Slow Pace
I think this was my last round at the Eagles - solid courses and a good price, but this is the third time in a row I have played and have not been close to starting on time.
Had a 1:07 tee time. Didn't get a golf cart until , and didn't tee off until 2:15, and only finished 16 holes until we had to go in at 6:30. Seems like they booked WAY too many tee times and don't have the capability to serve that many people. Will stay away from now on until it gets a little less crowded. Worth it to pay more for a better experience somewhere else. Just a bummer to wait 15-20 minutes at every hole.
Great Course Greens Could Use Some Greens Work
Course was beautiful and well layed out. I did think if there are any complaints at all, that I was a little disappointed in the quality of the greens. Grass was very patchy and inconsistent. For that reason I think the price was a little high compared to others I have played while here on vacation.
Lots of fairways and greens in bad shape
Was overcharged for my round $10. Didn’t realize until I looked at my confirmation email. Almost every hole had many unplayable areas fairway to green. Had to lift and move on several greens to avoid bad spots in my line. Never saw a cart person for refreshments. Definitely was not worth the $70 per person I paid to play here.
Pace of play
Do not waste your money. Go somewhere else, pace of play was unreal. We waited 1.5 hours to tee off with 16 carts infront of us on the first tee. The starter and ranger do nothing besides laugh and say it’s gonna be a slow day. I would never come back here, course should be destroyed.
Nice layout, good greens and beautiful nature!
Overall a nice round on a nice layout. Great weather and pace of play. The greens were true and in good shape. The fairways were decent but a bit patchy. Tee boxes were decent, Staff was nice and the club is nice. The things I really like about this course are the nature aspect and the layout. A lot of wildlife to include gators, deer and eagles. The holes are not on top of each other.
Horrible condition
Didn’t realize it until I got home and looked T my confirmation email. They overcharged me $10. Most of the course was in bad shape. Bare spots in the fairway. Had to move ball on greens to avoid really bad spots on greens. Definitely not worth the $70.
18 carts on first tee at tee time
18 carts were in front of my group of two at our tee time. Over an hour wait to tee off past tee time. Horrible. Same deal with no “fog delay,” enjoy a six and a half hour round. Either the tee times need to be more spread out or management needs to clean their operation up. Either way this place makes for a painful afternoon of golf. Don’t waste a beautiful day being frustrated!
Nice setting, poor maintenance
This Forest course is a much better scenic journey than the Lakes. We aren’t looking for a top notch golf experience for $64 but the tee boxes and greens were more in the sub-$20 level. I was impressed by the staff and the snack cart and ranger. They were all friendly and personable.
Course is fine but issues
Waited over an hour for a cart and then played over a 5hr round. They need to do a better job of spreading out tee times and having enough carts. Seems to be a recurring issue
Disappointed Again
It had been a while since playing The Eagles - Forest and decided to give it another try. I like the course, especially the back 9. Even though they can't control early am fog which significantly delayed all starts, they can control course maintenance. The greens were inconsistent and overall the course was not in great shape for the price paid. The guys behind us kept hitting into us despite our inability to play any faster due to the slow play in front of us. Never saw a ranger, who could have assisted with the pace the of play. Unfortunately, I don't think we will be back.
Good recreational golf course
The course was nice to play for an afternoon 9 hole recreational round. Average difficulty and some holes were challenged with rough fairways and greens. We had a nice time.
Great course; Excellent value
Had a great time playing this course. Really nice layout, and I would play again. Front nine was slow, but once we were able to play through. the back nine moved along without issue.
