Eagle Lakes Golf Club

Overall a poor value for the cost. Staff not friendly or professional. Less than optimal conditions, though in better shape than it has been the past couple of years. One positive was that the pace of play was very good.

I can’t explain why anyone would be willing to pay $159 to play this course?? I’ve played it in the past a few years ago for around $70-$80 and said I would never do it again. Then someone who must have been talking about another course told me that they made some improvements to Eagle Lakes. So when I saw that they are now charging $159 to play it in the morning I figured it must be true, they improved it. Absolutely not!! They changed the layout slightly but they did not improve the conditions at all. Anyone who says differently does not know at all what $159 should get you for value on a golf course. I don’t mind paying good money to play on a well kept course because regardless of how you play it is enjoyable to play golf on a beautiful well kept course, but believe me when I say Eagle Lakes does not in any way qualify as a well kept course. They should be ashamed of themselves for charging that kind of money to play there course. At some point I hope that people in the Naples area will stop allowing themselves to get ripped off at the public courses in horrible conditions and thus force these public courses to either improve conditions dramatically or lower prices dramatically. Unfortunately, I don’t see it happening any time soon since there are so few options for public golf in the Naples area. Do not pay any more then $50-$60 to play Eagle Lakes because that is all that it is worth at the most. Also, poor amenities like no ice machine or GPS on the carts, a couple things you should expect when paying $159. You can drive 30 minutes north and play a much nicer well kept course for less than half the price!! I will say however not to be totally negative, that the staff was friendly and the course has potential because it has a nice layout and good tee options.

Played a few courses while in Naples this week, and tried Eagle lakes. The course is fine if you aren't looking for anything special, but the fairways were completely dried out. I saw a puff of smoke on many drives that landed in the fairway. There's water on most holes, but the holes are very similar in layout, We found ourselves asking "didn't we play this hole before?" Anyway, if you're looking for somewhere to play in a pinch it was fine. Just don't expect lush fairways or greens.

Played here in the past, course seemed to be in much better shape than in the past.

High rate for a poor quality course,

Unfriendly staff.

Not a bad course challenging if you spray the ball and don't hit it straight.

I don’t like writing negative reviews and don’t review often but I feel that it is required in this case. I played Eagle Lakes about 3 years ago for about $70-$80 and was shocked that they were charging so much for a course in such poor condition that I said I will not come back. Then this year someone told me that they heard they had made improvements to Eagle Lakes. So when I went on golf now and saw that they were now charging $159 to play it in the morning I figured they must have improved it. So I found a hot deal for $67 later in the day and said I will try it again. Big mistake!!! The condition of the course has not improved at all, they simply changed a few things like bunkers and layout. They should be ashamed of themselves charging that kind of money to play such a horribly kept course. The fact that people are willing to pay that kind of money to play that course blows my mind. I guess because the Naples area has so few choices for public golf makes people feel forced to get ripped off and pay ridiculous amounts to play unkept courses. Hopefully in the near future things will change in this part of Florida and either prices will come down or public courses will improve but unfortunately I don’t think that will happen unless people start refusing to get ripped off and force things to change. I never mind paying good money to play a well kept course because regardless of how you play you enjoy being on a beautiful course and Eagle Lakes doesn’t even come close. Other reviews that say differently are not from knowledgeable golfers.

Painfully slow three groups on the 3rd hole! Only redeeming feature the staff were super friendly.

First time experience was great. My wife and I were sharing a bag and staff let us borrow another golf bag to make play easier. Very friendly clubhouse staff as well making for a fun experience. Definitely recommend this public course!

I loved the layout and the people were very nice, but the condition of the course was very disappointing. Most of the greens were just ok, but many were bumpy and had bad spots which made them difficult to putt. The fairways, although firm and fast, were full of weeds and not much real grass from which to hit.

Our threesome included a 10, 15 and 25 handicaps ( honest handicaps without mulligans) and can golf 9 holes in an hour and a half. The starter gave us at least four admonishments before we even started similar to “ make sure you keep up “ Have to think this is a condescending attitude by the starter because we are female. He did not say this to any other groups . We waited on every single hole for the two groups in front of us- either on the tee box and/ or fairway. They need work on treating everyone with respect including women. The course is not well manicured but has a few interesting holes. There are better public courses in the area. Skip this one .
