Eagle Ridge Golf Course At Yatesville Lake State Park

Before going out, the starter gave me a sheet that explains how to play each hole. You will absolutely need to read to play well here. This course is built on a ridge with extreme elevation changes on many holes, the most I have ever experienced on a golf course. Honestly, there are a number of holes with spectacular views, but are pretty ridiculous. Precision golf for sure. More than likely, you're not going to like this course first time out. It requires much course knowledge to really be playable and enjoyable. However, it does have some fun and more reasonably challenging holes, and given the overall conditions and very reasonable price of admission, I would play here again...…and hopefully enjoy it more than the first time.

I resumed playing golf again in May after a 20 year hiatus and I’ve had the pleasure of playing Yatesville/Eagle Ridge 3 times this year. First and foremost Eagle Ridge is a beautiful and scenic place to play where you will most likely encounter plenty of wildlife during your round. This course is ran by the state park system and is always very well maintained. The fairways are not cut the shortest but they are always in very good condition and the greens are the same. The greens are always in excellent condition, but they are only moderately fast and you will have to adjust if you are used to faster greens. The clubhouse is nothing special and the carts are in need of upgrading, but they do have a decent driving range. Greens fees are low and provides an excellent value. While Eagle Ridge isn’t the longest course, it is tight and requires you to strike the ball accurately to place your shots well. If you struggle with this make sure to bring extra balls as mistakes will end up OB. There are several holes that have elevation changes, slopes to contend with and little room for error off of the tee or on approach shots. Par 5 hole number 4 is as beautiful and challenging of a hole as you will play and the front nine is more difficult of the two. If you are a long hitter, there are a few par 4s that you can reach from the tee and the back nine gives you a chance to score to close out your round. Personally, I love this course and have enjoyed every round I have played there. Give Eagle Ridge a play if you are in the area and I think you won’t be disappointed!

Bring your A game because hitting fairways is key to scoring low here

Plenty of elevation changes. Excellent greens and fairways

I wish the second cut off fairway was shorter, other than that I love this course!

Love this course, great value, stunning views, great conditions. It is target golf, and if you spray the ball it could be a long day. 5 sets of tees gives everyone a fair challenge.

Have always enjoyed the challenge of playing this course. Have not, to date, had any negative experiences. Scenery on this course is also second to. none.. Pro shop staff is exceptional and very courteous.

Love this course

We travel 4 hrs to play this course 2 times a year

Very intimidating but love the layout

Staff is super friendly

Bring extra balls lol
