The Eagles Golf Club - Lakes

Nice course although the layout is a little strange with trees in the middle of fairways and blind shots.

Course was challenging. A lot of hidden water. Use the display on the windshield that has each hole layout on it as a guide. Not many yardage markers. Greens were good, bermuda grass. Got a hot deal for $36 and felt I paid too much for what I got. Pace of play was brutal.

My 3 friends from Minnesota just got off the plane and joined me for their first of 6 rounds of golf on their winter golf holiday. They had a great time. Very nice and pretty challenging course, but fair.

It's called the Lakes Course but there is no shortage of trees to get in your way. Fairways were in excellent condition and although the greens were tri colored, they were super fast and true. I believe they are equal to TPC greens.

Lakes course challenging but not unfair. Greens were fast but in nice shape and rolled nicely. Staff very friendly and helpful. Would play again definitely

My wife and I loved playing here. Very good value.

The weather was on the colder side and overcast. The course was relatively dry considering the rain the night before and greens were in pretty good condition. The staff was friendly and we had a nice day out there.

Enjoyed our round of golf, greens were excellent, were fast and true. Fairways and tee boxes great shape. Nice clubhouse and staff was great. View from patio was awesome late in day. will be back, and can't wait to try the forest course.

Course is well maintained; beautiful; quiet; challenging with the many doglegs. Will play the Forest course next time

Course was empty and I played in 2:15.
Conditions were good--greens a bit slow.
Enjoyed the layout and looking forward to the Forest course.
Easy to get to from anywhere.

Very challenging and very well kept .the staff was very friendly and we will return to play again.

Lots of water but not an issue on most holes. Course in great shape and played well. Greens were fast. Some narrow fairways and a few sharp dogleft/right fairways that can be troublesome.

The fairways are in very good shape. The course is challenging as the fairways are narrow and it plays long. 5 tee boxes make the course playable for any level of skills.

other than some patches and a couple of rough spots, the greens were in good shape and putted true. Although the rough was not terribly long, it encapsulated the ball making it difficult to find at times, so keep on eye on where it goes. Some large oaks are very strategically placed, putting a premium on working the ball both directions. Most greens were slightly elevated, forcing the approach shot to be flown to the green - anything short stayed short.
A very enjoyable place to play

Been playing this course for over 20 years. Played the Lakes this time. Course was bought by new owners 3 years ago and they have put a lot of work into the course, including new tee boxes and greens. Greens ran slow. We shot from the tips and it was challenging. Great value for the money. The Forrest course is more forgiving. Great to see Doe on the cart still. m She has been here 27 years!!

a beautiful day, albeit very windy (25+knots and gusty) gave me quite a challenge especially on the par 5's. Not the greatest time to struggle with the new M1 driver lol. 1st time on this course.

Some of the front 9 greens needed some work as the grass was withering in spots. The back nine is quite challenging with 10's crazy mammoth 90 degree right hand dogleg, That hole alone should give the pro's fits. most of the greens had quite a challenging feel with the undulaions. I was hitting from back tee's so I could put my skill to the test.

I was able to get on the green in 1 shot on several of the par 3 holes and on in 2 on a couple of the par 4's. You have to lay up on a couple holes and keep the driver in the bag so I feel like this is a good choice for an all around course giving you a bit of everything.

I will keep this short and to the point. The facility was nice and the course was in great shape. The problem I had was being followed from hole to hole by an attendant. When we asked why we were being followed, he responded by saying "I am just doing my job". There was no group in front of us and no group behind us for at least 2 holes. We were not interfering with pace play. As the only minority grouping on the course at that time, I was more than offended at the treatment. So, i would not recommend the course to have ANYONE be subjected to that kind of "hospitality".

Played the lakes course, which is longer and has less water than the forest course. None the less, the course was in fantastic shape and everyone was extremely friendly.

I had played the Forest course before and I was under the impression that the Lakes was the better of the two. I found them to be comparable at best, with the Forest greens being in better shape just a few weeks ago. We were booked in the middle of a league, and someone from the staff came out to us in the middle of the first fairway and asked if could start on the back 9. We didn't have a problem with accomodating the request, but when we drove back my the first tees, the members had some snotty looks and comments for us, as if we had something to do with it. I'm sure it was more because they have some "better than you" attitude about non-members playing their course. Well, I am a member at an actual private club and just decided to mix it up a bit since I wasn't able to make my usual game in the morning. I won't be coming back here though.

I will start by saying the Tampa area has been getting pounded with rain but this course was in pretty rough shape. There wasn't a dry spot on a single fairway. Three of the greens should have been closed due to water. The rough looked and felt like the U.S. Open. The greens felt like you were walking on a drenched sponge and there was some type of insect causing thousands of tiny lumps of dirt on each green.
