The Eagles Golf Club - Lakes

This was a repeat play for me. Played a few weeks ago. What I find pleasantly challenging for me is from the blue tees you must place the tee shot with the driver or take the consequences of going through the fairways due to the slight doglegs. Otherwise, as i did, hit 3-woods off the tee for position, even on par 5's #1 and #10. Fairways are little dry so the ball does not sit up well. Greens are new so approach shots do not check as well at this time.

The course has a nice layout---lots of doglegs and water. For long hitters, must play at least blue tees and sometimes 3-wood off the tee is best shot. Greens are firm so watch for run out when chipping. Putting is true as greens are great. Fairways are thin; ball not sitting up but very acceptable. Bunkers are good and well kept. Will be back in Clearwater in a few weeks and look forward to playing it again. Its one of those courses that you need to play a few times to know where to hit it off the tee.

From the tips-

This is a challenging course off the tee box because there are many holes that require a precise tee shot or you'll be left scrambling for your par. Know your target and distances and you'll be in the money. The greens are rolling true and have great speed right now.

Great course, great value, challenging and fun for all handicaps

Challenging, fun and gives you opp to push yourself! We really enjoyed!

Great staff! Polite friendly and helpful. Course was in good condition, not perfect but despite all the rain it was in terrific shape. Green designs are difficult but fair. No tricked up holes. Really nice day.

The Lakes course was in great condition. The greens and fairways were nice as well. I played from the tips and the course is not that long for par 4's and 5's, but the par 3's were all 190+. Also, my only pet peeve on courses are extreme dog leg holes, which this does have a few of them. Regardless, I would love to play it again.

Considering the amount of rain, course was in great shape. Staff was very friendly and accommodating. Beautiful deer on number 4 fairway walking around like they own the place. We will definitely be back. A must positive experience

Played here several times, always in good shape , challenging course but fair, great hotbdeal , friendly

Loved that they brought the cart out to my car upon arrival. Course was in good shape a value for a Saturday round.

I've played the Eagles L:akes and Forest courses many times over the years. This Hot Deal was fantastic. The proshop, cart guys and restaurant staff were superb. Even with all the rain we've had this summer, the Lakes course was pretty dry. The greens were excellent. This is a first class facility that I highly recommend.

The course should have been closed. There were huge puddles all over the course and we actually lost balls in the fairway due to the wetness. We would have left if I could get my money back but due to golfnows policy we had to play. It was a miserable experience.

Tough time of year playing with daily rain but course was still open and greens drain well. The usually grumpy starter was half friendly this time.
