Walk friendly and Par friendly

After redesign and add driving range, the course conditions are much improved. The flat course is very friendly to walk and play. It is a less frustrating layout likely to make pars for many holes. Most of the holes playing short has better change to make par. Hole 14 is the most difficult Par-4 - It is fair to make +1 for average player.

Short and simple course. Pace of play can be very slow due to no starter or ranger and many beginners hitting multiple balls and limited golf etiquette knowledge in looking for balls or ready golf.

Disaster

This course is in bad shape. They should sell it. Canisters on carts to repair divots is empty. No drinking water in the containers on the course. No water in the ball washers. Grounds crew just mows right in front of you. Won't wait. Won't get out of the way. And frighteningly comes out of no where when you are teeing off and drives right in front of your shot.

Almost accidentally killed a guy.

Tee boxes are a nightmare of dirt and weeds

Someone should buy this course and open a golf course.

Hidden Jem

I drove in the area for 40 years and never played the course. The staff was very friendly and helpful. The course wasn’t crowded for a Monday. The tee boxes could use some work, but overall acceptable. The fairways & greens were exceptional to my surprise.

Not a long course. I played the middle tees 54+ yards. Next time I’ll play the back tees just under 58.

This is definitely a course to play especially for senior golfers. Highly recommended.

The course has been around since 1926.

Inexpensive but be prepared for slow play

If you’re looking for a simple place to play that is going to have very low price, it’s fine. But don’t expect fast play as there are a lot of hackers that will have choke holds and bring play to a slow crawl. Greens are fine, tee boxes and off fairways are rough with lots of weeds. Cart paths are mostly rough gravel and asphalt is torn up. Club house is lively and food is ok.

Great value for the money.

I have been playing the EOGC for many years and all aspects of the course are vastly improved from years past. Although the course is relatively short in length, it’s perfect for most players. The fairways and greens are in good shape. It is clearly better taken care of than in the past. Having.the driving range, practice chipping area, and the upscale clubhouse / restaurant are all added benefits.
