Golden Eagle Golf Club - South

good price, very nice in pro shop, considering all the rain as expected, tee boxes very good, greens rolled true

Not being a long ball hitter I always have a great time at both Golden Eagle North and South courses. From the whites both courses play very short but both are extremely fun. Nestled up against the mountains your front 9 and back have completely different feel. A great value under $50 on weekends in summer.

Golden Eagle Golf Course markets themselves as presenting a premium product - an excellent golf course in an excellent setting. in 2019, this was unfortunately not the case!

I played 3 rounds here, 2 in June and 1 in July and the quality had not improved even far into the season.

1) The Course: little to no attention had been paid to maintaining the course prior to winter, or early spring.

a) Bunkers were not filled with sand;

b) fairways were lumpy and uneven - often in extreme disrepair

c) greens were disgusting - sand channels running through the green - not even in puttable condition

2) Services: not enough staff members to run the clubhouse/pro shop.

a) carts were haphazard

b) poor guy at pro shop was trying his best but it was clear he needed extra staff to assist - this was apparent on 2 of 3 rounds.

3) General: it seemed that approx 1/3 of the entire course was GUR. Ideal for a wayward golfer that could play an entire round on preferred lies....

Not worth the cost of a round.

I feel this course is good for the amount it costs.

I would like to say that this course really does need some TLC, sometimes it looks like the pins and tee blocks haven’t been moved/changed in quite some time.

Golfers don’t seem to take the time to fix ball marks or divots, probably due to the fact that the course isn’t kept up by the owners/Golden Eagles, so if owners don’t care why would the golfers.

Maybe some care for the little things, like filling in some empty bunkers with sand, adding more sand to the ones that do have sand, trimming the surroundings would make it a lot better.

There is no half-way house after 9 holes, and I have never seen anyone on the course offering any drinks (water, juice, beer or food).

I rate this course overall, a solid 3 out 5 stars ....it just needs some TLC, that’s all, don’t think it would take much, maybe some better management.

Cheers.

power carts are a little pricey compared to other courses

but cost to play was very reasonable. I found the greens were in great condition.

First time playing here. Hot,humid day. Lost a few balls in the water, but had a very good day. Course was in good condition and the staff very helpful and friendly. Thank you.

Went with a few friends through an online deal. It was 40 bucks each so I wasn't sure what to expect. Pace of play was awesome but besides that this course is average at best. To still have muddy areas with the drought we have had is insane. The sand traps are unplayable, they are filled with rocks and in some cases boulders. The scenery was pretty impressive but the actual quality of golf course was just not there. I have to wonder if all the money and time for maintenance is spent on the north course but I won't return to find out.

I played here for the first time on a sunny friday afternoon and almost had the whole South course to myself. The parking lot was quite full so I think most of the golfers played earlier in the day or on the North course .I liked the big greens and the layout but the fairways had a lot of debris on them. The green fees were reasonable so my round was enjoyable. Next time I make it out this way I would like to try the North course as well but I scored so well at the shorter South course I would like to play it again as well.
