Eagle Creek Golf Course

You will learn course management if you plan to break 90. I had played this course several times before I retired and thought it was pretty tough. I have memberships at three courses and Eagle is my favorite hands down. I play 5 to six times a week sometimes 36 holes a day. Don’t just take my word for it come find out first hand.

I have played this course many times. Although this time it was a frozen swamp, the course is usually well worth the drive. During the regular season this course is absolutely beautiful. Very few holes are straight away, and there are lots of trees, hills, and valleys. The cost is reasonable, and the staff is very friendly. Unfortunately, with the resort closed, the amenities are very limited.

$19 w/cart on a Monday? No brainer. Course is located in a state park virtually in the middle of nowhere and operates out of a trailer (lodge/resort has been closed for several years). Plenty of turkey, deer and turtles. Beautiful tree lined track with a couple nice views of Lake Shelbyville. Folks are welcoming and desire to earn your business. Course is in fairly decent shape most especially the greens which the pro said were the best he's seen them in 5 years. I concur....8th green is a rough shape but I found all to be very playable, smooth and speedy. Some bare patches here and there. They just had a tourney last week and all the pins were pretty tucked or in difficult positions. Traps were not very well maintained and some fairways can be patchy as well. Tee boxes so so.

This track has to played a couple of times....some areas are incredibly too tight/tree lined for the routing and many dog legs with a couple that are pretty severe requiring huge draws or fades off the tee. Play the white tees to enjoy yourself. The blues at 6600 are too much for most and you won't make a number of the dog legs...going left or right off the tee you'll lose plenty of ammo. Back nine has several very difficult driving holes.

A really nice experience. 3.5 stars overall. Put a 4 star on it because it was a nice day cheap decent shape and plus no one was there!

It was definitely worth the trip to play Eagle Creek. Will absolutely go back. $30 value.

Best course , challenging, best course around, a special plac in America

Really like this course. Like the layout and the setting. Would be nice if they had a ranger. Play gets bogged down when they allow groups of 5. It’s a hard course and not all the players know golf etiquette.

Nice course with an interesting layout. Lots of doglegs. You will need to be able to work the ball to score well here. A couple of the holes back onto the lake. Big hitters will need to be conservative off the tee. This course is in the middle of nowhere since the hotel has closed, but it is definitely worth a drive.

This course was fun and challenging. Greens were in great shape and fairways nicely mowed. We enjoyed it and would play it again!

Challenging layout. Gas carts get around course great. Fairways and greens in good shape. Friendly staff. Safe parking fir your car.

We arrived 50 minutes early of our one o'clock tee time because of the heat that day. There were 3 cars in the parking lot. We were told that the golf now policy is nobody tees off before the tee time booked. We waited until five minutes to one to tee off, with nobody going before us. I have had no problems at other golf courses about this golf now policy. Is this the policy or was it Eagle Creeks policy?

Great course with lush fairways, varied layout, good greens and unbelievable scenry. Quiet, peaceful and low key environment -just a great place to play. It is a terrific value.

We travel around the country in an RV and love playing different courses. We come here at least once a year and stay a few days just to play this beautiful course. You will love the challenge of this course and the wildlife you will see as you play on beautiful rolling fairways with woods on both sides.

If you are in this area it is a MUST PLAY course. The rates are really low and the course is awesome.

Overall the course was set up well and in good shape for early year play. If back in the area I will play again.

Course is in good shape, tough lay out. Have to hit quilty shots to score good here. Holed out a bunker shot in front of two grounds keepers so that was nice

Considering in was late January, and temp was mid 50's, this was a fun outing. This was our first visit. As such, it was difficult to see where we were going because of the undulating terrain. I probably won't get in so much trouble on our next go around.

The facilities could be a movie set for the next zombie apocalypse. The lodge went under in 2008. A trailer/boxcar in the pro shop. Doesn't matter, we played golf in January.

This was my first time playing the course. It is a nice looking course and the scenery is beautiful but I didn't like the course layout. Most of the holes have dogleg and I hate using a club other than my driver to tee off on 4/5 par holes. If you're a really powerful golfer you can cut the dogleg and shoot over the trees, but I am not. I'd say I used my driver only a couple of times; most of the time I had to club down or I'd overshoot the fairway. And I'm not a long hitter.

My major complaint though was the inflexibility of the course for GolfNow. My tee time was something like 10:30 am and I got there at 10 am. It was raining and no one was teeing off. I asked if I could go ahead and start and they said no, pointing to a sign that said GolfNow players must tee off at exactly their tee time, no exceptions. So I got grouped with 3 other golfers and my course time was over 5 1/2 hours! (No fault of the golfers I was with or the weather...just slow pace.) I won't be returning.
