The Eagles Golf Club - Lakes

The course layout was outstanding, one of the toughest courses in Tampa. The condition was absolutely terrible. Every green had current repair or needed to be repaired. There a few holes where the pin location was right next to the repaired part of the green. The tee boxes hardly had any grass and if you hit in the fairways you could have grass or you could not have grass. I really hope they get this course is shape because again the layout was great but not for $75 and those conditions.

Backed up right from the start, course was in terrible condition. Worst conditions I’ve seen in Florida not even considering the $85 price tag. Horrible all around do not waste your money. Should cost $40 to play here at most.

The course was in pretty good shape and it wasn’t too busy. Enjoyable day

Played on and off over the years at the eagles, lakes course is in bad shape.

Sandy Tee Boxes and Greens - Weeds in fairways - Horrible conditions - What happened to this beautiful course? Also charge to use a credit card which is absurd.

The lakes course is one of my favorite go to places for a round. The overall condition of the course is really good. The greens could use a little more attention, but overall still much better than some other courses in the area. The staff is extremely friendly and helpful too.

3 weeks previously, the course was in pretty good shape....that is why I returned 4/19/2025.....only to find some tee boxes were dirt....the greens have lots of dead spots now!! Totally not worth more than $35 now! First & Tenth holes are poorly designed, back up pace of play since they are next to each other, doglegs around water, next to driving lake.....range balls everywhere ...balls from neighboring holes.... lots of confusion for groups

Pros: long, good for your hcp, scenic

Cons: spotty greens, 50/50 tee boxes, no ball washers, no drinking water

Not at all worth $70. Worth $50 at most if early weekend until summer kicks in, otherwise $30 and not worth more than 20 minutes drive time (given the amount of courses in the area)

Not a goat track but def not a priority course

Both courses have great layouts. But the lakes course was in horrific condition, a lot of fungus on the greens, a lot of tee boxes, sand only. It should be priced at $35. a round or less

This course has been flipped a few times in the past 8 years. Staff and MGT seem to not really care, other than ringer the register.

Courses are in somewhat rough shape, weeds on the greens, bumpy. Fairways were nice for the most part with the exception of several leaking sprinklers in fairways.

Not bad for say $35-$40....

I thought the course play and layout were great. I did have issue with the greens, especially for a course that proposed and talked to be of high calibur. There were some greens were the grass was rotting, and many greens that had "broccoli". It made it difficult to putt well. Also, I think I saw one maybe two rakes on all 18 holes around the sand traps. I left not thinking, "I want to come back."

The staff in the pro shop were great.

My friend and I have played it 4 times this winter here in Florida and I will be back in December

to start playing in again. Probably will play the

forest course a few times.

This course and management are both terrible. I don’t know how they charge what they charge.. the management and workers are all terrible and all have horrible attitudes. The course is a great layout so it’s a shame that the conditions of the course are awful. Probably never coming back here considering the other courses in the area charge less and are nicer with better vibes.

Over half of the greens have sand traps on them. Way over priced for the shape the course is in.

This course has interesting layout, but the greens need to be better for the green fees. Course Marshall needs to push people to keep the pace, no one want to get out early in morning just to stuck behind hackers for 5 hrs.

I have played both the Forest and the Lakes courses, and I have to say that the price is outrageous. The sand bunkers on the 18th green are in poor condition, and every other green looks like the moon. I can’t believe I paid $70 just to experience this. Both courses were disappointing; I would recommend saving your time and playing somewhere else. This course is worth no more than $30 at best.
