Eagle Trace Country Club

I’m quickly approaching 40 and have been playing golf since I was 6. I’ve played redneck munis and some of the best courses in the country and enjoyed both the same. I’m not a golf snob, especially now since I have 3 kids under 5 and any day on the course is a welcome respite from my day to day. With that being said, I’ve never felt compelled to ask for a refund until I played Eagle Trace.

I just moved to South Florida from North Carolina for my wife, who is from the area. I heard mixed reviews about Eagle Trace but decided to give it a go based on the reviews on this site. I noticed that pretty much every tee time was open from about 7-10 AM which is unusual for good courses in Florida this time of the year. My first thought was “they must have just aerated the greens”. So I called the pro shop to ask. No one answered in the pro shop so I was automatically transferred to a ClubLink representative who acted like she knew what aeration means and assured me the course was in fine condition.

I book the time and show up today at 7:30. The gentleman in the pro shop told me I would have a hard time out there because the greens were punched literally yesterday. Didn’t offer me a refund and said contact ClubLink. I’d been awake since 6 am and decided at least to give it a try. Also a small bucket of damaged range balls was $10. Went to the range which was mowed about rough length. The putting green was the same length and didn’t have holes cut.

Went to the first tee and there were no tee markers. Drove back and complained and the pro shop guy radioed the maintenance crew to tell them to put them out. I was told it was taken care of. Went to the first tee and the markers were thrown on the side of the tee box in a pile.

Hit a great first drive on 1 and a member of the grounds crew ran over and pulverized my ball. The greens were freshly aerated and unplayable.

Also the parking brake on our cart didn’t work.

I was playing with a new potential golf partner I just met down here so I didn’t want to seem like a diva but I’ve never experienced something so terrible in my life. Avoid this place at all costs. It probably used to be nice but it’s gone to the dogs, fast. I tried to call ClubLink - and I was hung up on twice and couldn’t reach a human person. Never felt the need to do this in my 33 years playing golf until today. A disappointing look for South Florida public/semi private golf.

Very nice trek with challenges and risk reward holes!! An enjoyable layout for most golfers!!

A very warm welcome from all staff was the start of a brilliant day. This course is an absolute gem and lots of great holes that are all perfectly maintained. Look forward to coming back soon!

Spectacular course! PGA used to play here, they still could! Greens were best I’ve ever seen. Entire course was beautiful. Staff was also 1st class. Spend the extra $$$ and play this course. You will not regret it!

This is one of the better courses in the area. In off season- not too pricey or too many players. But it is going to change in a couple of months:(

Positive: stuff was nice, course in good condition.

Negative: greens are very slow, bunkers are pretty bad- sand free; restroom on the course is terrible.

No water on the course, so get that by the golf cards station.( it was nice that I was told by person at the pro shop).

Go play!

This was mt first time playing Eagle Trace. The layout was great and the course is difficult with thick ruff and smallish greens. Unfortunately, the greens had recently been micro-punched and it led to slower than normal green speeds. Overall, it was a Great Day playing with my son!

The more I play this course the more I enjoy it. Have been playing the Blue / White Tees. I am an 11 handicap. I think it is a very fair layout. Course is in very good condition for August. Usually have a good variety of tee times early. The course is a little more money than others in the area but I still think it’s a good value. Enjoy

Got rained out after 6 holes but a good value for the money

Long rough that eats your balls and the greens are terribly slow.

Course is in good shape have fun.

Need cart service for drinks while 🏌️

Cons---- Even though golfers have access to ice/water machine at cart house, at start/ turn there are 0 water coolers at any holes, and the bathroom shack between 13 & 14 smells like a dead something, and the water fountain is dead and appears to be as old as the course, And the normal sized trash can was nearly over flowing

Pros----the turf on the whole course from tees to greens are like carpet, absolute Kunos to greens keeper staff. Even the dreaded St. Augustine was thick and lush, LOL.

Have to give the bag- tenders a pass as they were slammed busy with finishers, they usually meet us at curb with cart.
