About
Eaglebrooke, located in Lakeland -- halfway between Orlando and Tampa, is considered one of the premier golf courses in Florida. Its classic links-style design with over 100 feet of elevation change is unique in this part of the state. Natural lakes, abundant with wildlife, can come into play on eleven of the holes creating both spectacular scenery and challenging golf shots. To increase the challenge, there are six sets of tees on each hole. The "seniors" tees were customed designed for the course by architect Ron Garl. Garl requested Senior Golf Magazine to survey seniors for optimal playing preferences and then included these requests in the course design. The atmosphere is first class and the course features bag pick-up at your car. Eaglebrooke was the first course in the US to use Greg Norman's GN 1 grass, the fastest growing and greenest grass available.

Golfer Reviews
Favourite course
Always enjoy playing the course. One of the best in the Orlando/Lakeland area. Great condition for time of year.
Worth the experience
My first time here. The course was challenging. The pro shop tip of staying left is the best advice for playing this course. Scenic, especially on the back 9.
Thank you so much for your 5 star review! We appreciate you coming out to play and taking the time to provide a review. Looking forward to seeing you back again soon!
Love this course!
We play this course every year on vacation. Great practice area. Staff are friendly and helpful. Great layout. Course is in great condition for this time of year. Only concern this time was pace of play. Slow group a few groups ahead held everyone up with no ranger in sight. Result was a 5 hour round. Unusual for this course. Great value for the money. Will be back on Wednesday!
We are so glad to hear Eaglebrooke is part of your vacation every year! Thank you for coming out to play and providing your feedback. We are happy you appreciated our layout, course conditions, and friendly staff. We apologize for the pace of play you experienced this day and we are glad you will be returning so we can provide our normal excellent experience!
Challenging
I found the course to be in fairly good shape for March in Florida, thought I will say I found the greens in need of a little bit more work. A picturesque golf course with a number of holes that are both challenging and appealing to the eye. Great practice area and free range balls are a nice amenity. On an 80 degree day in which we started at 2pm, we didn't see the drink cart once which I found frustrating. A member of my group even called the pro shop asking them to send someone our way, but it must have fallen on deaf ears. If you live in the Lakeland area or are visiting that part of Florida, I think you should look into playing the course.
Thank you for coming out to play and taking the time to provide a review! We can assure you we are constantly working on our greens to provide the best conditions to our golfers. We apologize about the lack of a drink cart and hope you will return soon so we can provide a fully satisfying experience!
Good course worth the drive!
Played it alone on a Saturday; paired up with a nice father/son twosome. Friendly staff and a nice driving range for warm up. Good lay out, fairways in good condition but greens were too fast (most courses I played in Feb. were with fast greens). We both have fun for a warm sunny afternoon. Well worth the drive from Orlando and got a good hot deal from GN. Will return when go to Florida next time.
Hi "Robthebirdie" Thank you so much for taking the time to review our course! We appreciate the kind remarks regarding our staff and layout. Please come back and visit us again in the near future. Thanks MGT
Great course
The course is very challenging.
hi "shotgun52" Thank you so much for the excellent review. So glad you enjoyed your challenging round with us today!
Great course for the money
Great layout, in wonderful condition. Great value for the money.
Hi "mikestotz " Thank you so much for leaving a review with us! We believe we are a great value to golfers compared to some of the other Tampa and Orlando course. Thank you so much for giving us a try, see you next year!
Poor conditions !! Good Layout !!
The course conditions were poor at best ! Very disappointed as the layout was good . Also played with the most miserable person ever on a golf course . Seemed to think he was playing bad so he took it out on his wife and me . Get over yourself : You are not that good !!!
Hi "13047777" We appreciate you taking the time to review our course. We apologize that your round was not up to par. We hope that next time you will not take your one star review out on the course due to who you were paired up with. Which is out of the courses control. If you look at the other reviews listed on golfadvisor our course is in excellent shape which can easily be determined by our 4 and 5 star reviews left by other customers.
Awesome challenging course
Best course in Lakeland FL
What a beautiful golf course
I am almost afraid to tell folks how nice this course is.
Most every hole was individually designed and presented generous driving area and then the fun begins. traps tight around rolling undulating greens make hitting these greens in regulation a real challenge. on many greens being above the hole was kiss of death to try and stop the ball.
17 and 18 are great finishing holes. We played the senior tees but could have done the white easily.
Enjoy this one!
Hi "Tednvon" Thank you so much for playing Eaglebrooke golf course. Sounds like we made quite the impression on your group. Please come back and visit us again on your next trip from Iowa. Thanks MGT
Challenging layout
Played the white tees (6200 yds) and several par 4 holes still played long on 2nd hot. Great condition, undulating greens, lots of water and sand. Very picturesque and beautiful holes.
Hi "stevecrock" Thank you for playing Eaglebrooke golf course. We appreciate you taking the time to review our course. We definitely have some very pretty holes that are worth playing again, see you next time!
Great track
Excellent course.
friendly clubhouse
excellent meal after
hi "glgcorp" Thank you so much for the great review, so glad you enjoyed your day with us!
Eaglebrooke - A Gem Not Too Far from Orlando
Having played a few Orlando area golf course at exhorbitant prices and being disappointed with course conditions and pace of play, we decided to look further afield. Positive reviews for Eaglebrooke caught our attention. We were not disappointed. We were warmly welcomed upon arrival with help being given to unload our bags and set up our carts. The course had a good practice area with free range balls. The layout is superb with excellent variety in holes. ?The back nine is a bit tougher with several forced carries over water. Course conditions were great with the greens rolling fast and true. We played the front 9 in less than 2 hours but the back 9 bogged down a bit taking nearly 3 hours. However, we had a perfect day and really enjoyed the ambience of the course. To boot, as per the namesake, we saw several bald eagles on the course and a few hawks as well. About an hour from Orlando, it is worth the drive.
Hi "Cynalan" Thank you so much for the excellent review! We are so glad you found us and enjoyed your round with us today! Please come back and visit us again in the near future.
My 48th Wedding Anniversary round at Eaglebrook.
Great course, friendly staff, great food. It does not get any better than that. Booked another foursome for this Sat.
Hi "jagbowl" Thank you so much for the excellent review! We appreciate the kind words regarding the course, staff, and food. We will definitely pass the nice words along. Please come back and see us again !
Great Find!
We stumbled upon this course while booking a trip in the Disney area. What a treat. Conditions were great. Layout is awesome. Some really tough but fun holes to play. We thoroughly enjoyed ourselves and will be back next year for sure!
Cudos to the staff. The starter told us it's going to be slow. We were behind the Senior Club Championship and the Super Senior as well. Aside from the stack up on the first and second holes it settled in to a nice pace.
HI "Jryanjason" Thank you for the excellent review! We are so excited that you found our course while on vacation. We appreciate you patience on this particular day and hope that you will come back and see us again on your next trip from Michigan.
awesome course
On the day we played we had to play back nine first. It is the far tougher of the nines. Great course will play again but hope in the order intended.
Hi "tmellisht" We appreciate your review. The back nine is definitely harder than the front, and I can see how that can be somewhat of a challenge especially if you haven't warmed up. Please come back and give us another try and hopefully we will have your group start on the first tee next time.
Pretty course
Very nice course. Several holes are challenging for 1st timers because of hidden water and sloping fairways. Would love to play it again now that I know.
Awesome day of play
This was a great day of play, excellent weather, pace of play. the course was in great shape. Greens were fast and challenging.
Hi "sugar1313" Thank you so much for the excellent review! We appreciate your kind remarks regarding your great day on the course. Don't forget to follow us on Facebook for some great golf specials!
Windy Challege
This course was soft from rain the day before and played long. The wind made it a particular challenge. The greens were fast and undulating. I would like to play it again when the ground is firmer and there is a little less wind. Overall, it was a very enjoyable round.
Hi "pswaz" Thank you so much for the excellent review! We really appreciate you taking the time to review our course. Please come back and visit us again on a less windy day from New York. Thanks MGT
Beautiful course
First off it was an extremely windy (20-25mph) and cool day, so the weather was a bit of an issue. With that being said, it was still a very fun round of golf. The course was in great shape and the staff was very nice. I played it from the tips and hit 3w a lot for position; driver is only needed on a few holes for those that can go 280 or more. The greens are big, pure, and fun to putt on. I didn't get to enjoy any greenside bunkers but my playing partner said they were very nice since he seemed to visit most of them. Lots of hills throughout the course and water comes into play a lot. I'm looking forward to playing here again on a less windy day.
Hi "grover1234" Thank you so much for the kind remarks regarding our course and the golf shop staff. We will definitely pass this along to our staff. Please come back and visit us again soon!
Thank you for coming out to play and providing your review! We are so happy to hear you have enjoyed Eaglebrooke many times. Looking forward to seeing you back again soon!
