Eagle Glen Golf Course

I really enjoyed playing Eagle Glen. It has the perception of being wide open as there are little to no trees but every hole has deep weeds that get you in trouble if you aren't hitting your tee shots straight. The fairways and greens were in excellent shape and some of the greens had very challenging slopes.

I have golfed here many times, each time that I used GolfNow I've had problems with staff members during check-in. Ranger has no idea what is going on half the time, which means long waits.

This course was named for the Eagle, but it was born under the sign of the snake. What this course lacks in elevation change it makes up for in sheer audacity. It is long (made longer with a twist at every turn), but fair. It's judicious nature balances on a pin's head between the challenge of a championship course and a need to attract weekenders, out-of-towners, and members. By that, I mean that it could have been turned into a carnival attraction very easily in an attempt to exaggerate.
It may not have the vistas of the middle hills of Gaylord or the rocky rills of Marquette, nor the swamps and moss of the Canadian Lakes, but it is one of the few courses where I can remember every single hole in succession, though I've only played there several times. I can't say that about some of my favorite courses I've played many times over. It is immaculately manicured, and the staff are very friendly, even when you park too close to the tee box (wink, wink). If you haven't played the back side, it is one of the best stretches of golf in lower Michigan. I can't wait to play it tomorrow. I'm going low!
Side Note: One mile down the road is a great little town called Farwell. If you're thirsty after your round, DJ's will accommodate with very helpful staff and good home-cooked food.
If you take 115 north about 15 miles you'll come upon an antique store on your right, just as you cross the Muskegon River. That's my store... Restore Galore. Stop in and take a guided tour of a living museum at no charge... but what items you leave with.

I (we) love this golf course, we play here about 10 times a year. The course is always in very good condition, very well cared for, although some of the planted areas g=could use some love and tender care.
The only minus point we have is that the pass of play is slow. And that is not necessary. People playing from the back Tees , where it is obvious that they should be playing from the middle Tees slows down play by at least 30 minutes per 9 holes., If they were to play from the middle tees, they would have to look for their balls that often and would speed up play, or they could let people trough so that a 2 some doesn't have to wait on every hole and often on every shot. And even looking for balls should be NOT longer then 5 minutes, but that is also something they haven't heard of.So maybe the ranger could help out here.
It doesn't help play if you have to wait all the time, rhythm is gone and scoring gets worse and the fun is lost.
If it wasn't such a beautiful course we would probably not play there that often, but the course makes up for the slow play.

Great course, very open, yet challenging with many bunkers and tall grassy hazards! Amazing value!

Well maintained from tee to green. Some nice and unique holes. Course played a little easier due to the short cut of the heather (tall grass) but will be a major hazard w/i the next month. Overall very nice.

Friendly and casual course. Average difficulty. We had a bit of an issue with grounds crew (with loud machinery) on a couple of holes making us feel like we were in the way.

We had a great time at Eagle Glen - the course was in great condition and the bunkers and raised hills around the course made it challenging.

I liked the course layout and would like to play it again.

Was overbooked on tee times. First tee had three foursomes waiting when we arrived. We ended up only golfing 9 of our 18 holes due to slow play.

PACE OF PLAY WAS TERRIBLE, NO RANGER TO KEEP PEOPLE MOVING TWO OF US SHOULD HAVE BEEN ABLE TO PLAY IN 4 TO 41/4 HOURS, BUT SINGLE AHEAD WOULD NOT LET US PLAY THROUGH AND WAS PLAYING AT TWO BALL AT A TIME.

Very nice course. Challenging for the average golfer and very interesting layout.

The course weas in excellent condition and the long heather makes it a very challenging, but fun, round.

This is one of mid-Michigan's BEST maintained courses, with excellent greens and a moderate challenging layout. If you're looking for a quality round of golf, and want to enjoy the scenery and the course itself, this is one of a handful in the area I would recommend.

Great course, very fair and friendly staff. Will play again.

Pristine course that rewards accuracy. Has great value for a course that ranks among the best

Very nice course for the price. A few rough greens but overall the course is in excellent condition. Just a tip: stay out of the fescue.

Not a real long course, but some challenging holes. Great value for the price.

We tee'd off on time, was run very well. Great value for the $$.

Last time I played this course about 2 years ago, it was dreadfully overbooked and slow. This time, however, it was great. They let our 2some play ahead of our tee time so we could get in front of some 4 somes. It was a very pleasant day of golf, and very affordable through GolfNow. The course was in very good shape for being early spring still.
