Fun, Challenging yet Deceptive
This was my first time playing this course of which I played late afternoon. I started on the back nine due to an outing and found out how this course is deceptive. Although from the tips its a little over 6K yards, it is a very challenging course that requires precise shots. With strategic placed bunkers, creeks and elevated tees and greens this course has it all for all levels of golfers. There was only two clubs I didn't use out of 14. What's fun about this course is that it has some par 4's that are a around the 300 yard mark that makes the strong possibility of making a birdie, but don't get complacent. To make matters interesting they even throw in a 90 yard par 3 just to mix things up. I actually shot my best golf ever for first time playing this course. The designers of this course did a great job for a short course mixing things up and making the play fun. I can't wait to play this course again now that I know what to look out for. The only drawback I saw was that holes are very close together and some tee boxes are close to greens that you have to watch out for errant shots by other golfers. Either way I highly recommend this course as a MUST play.
Needs GPS
needs GPS, its a bit pricey for a course that don't have a lot of amenities. Price drops later in the day make it a good deal. Otherwise, I like everything else.
Hidden Gem!
Though not the longest course you will ever play Eaglewood is a great challenge. With strategically placed deep bunkers and undulating greens, this track is worth giving a try. Also worth mentioning that the 19th hole is amazing.
Funky.
Long 3's.
Long 5's.
Moderate/Short 4's.
Funky layout u need to thread trees, sharp doglegs and elevation changes.
If ur irons are on, you'll score well.
Very Good Course
Other than a few mushy spots, this is a very nice course. Good elevation and the greens are in reasonable shape. The clubhouse is a great for a post-round beer and bite. Excellent bartender.
ALSO...hit one of my best shots in a long time here to eagle the 15th!!!
Sand traps.
I think it's time for me to have some sand trap practice before come back.
Eagle wood golf
Nice layout and good course conditions. Always enjoy playing here Although playing in 90’ heat works on you . Perfere to play when cooler out .
Top Notch Course
This is a top notch course that is kept in pristine condition. It is a shorter course, but lots of water and sand to make it difficult.
Eagle wood
I love playing here , have a comfortable feeling . Has some changing holes with some tuff pin placement .
Good Potential, Painfully Slow
Although the course was soaked due to recent rain, we could tell that it would normally play well. It had interesting holes with narrow fairways. That said, the pace of play was abysmal. It took us 5.5 hours RIDING. The course layout had holes using the same cart paths which meant there were constant groups on our fairway when we were teeing off. Etiquette-wise, no one yelled fore when their shots approached us and we almost got hit 3 times (no exaggeration). We were told there was a "driving range". Loose definition. They meant 4 mats with a net and balls that you picked up from behind the net. I was disappointed by my experience as the course had good potential.
Narrow
Narrow course. We teed off in an early afternoon gap and did not experience delays. We could see lots of people standing around waiting on the back 9.
Would be a great course if tee times were moved to 10 min to avoid overcrowding, backups, and far too many errant shots from other groups.
Worst experience
I have been playing this course for years but had the worst experience playing on Father’s Day. We paid a premium price with a course that allowed no course etiquette.
Albeit Father’s Day is a day to spend with your kids, taking them to a golf course that is beyond their size and allowing them to have 15 hacks until they get it to the green is rediculous. That’s is why we have Par 3 courses that are more suitable for younger kids.
Concerned about the pace, we mentioned to the ranger that the pace was stagnate to only get a response “there is nothing I can do”.
Further the course was not well maintained. Uneven spots on the greens and concrete sand traps. To add insult to injury, rain from several days ago restricted the back 9 to cart path only.
A disclose making aware the course rules, or lack thereof, that was going to be allowed on fathers days would have been nice before booking a tee time.
Will NEVER Play Here Again
9:12a tee time where we teed off 9:25. The course was backed up worse than any I had ever seen. Cart path only on a day that was 94 degrees. LIterally every hole you are in danger of being hit by someone's shot. At the fourth hole there were 3 foursomes waiting to tee off and the whole wait there were shots flying by us all waiting. If you played a drinking game where every time your heard "FORE" you would be drunk by the 5th hole. To boot, no free water. 94 degrees, 6+ hour round, cart path only and they want to charge everyone $2 for a bottle of water. We left after 9 holes and I will NEVER be back there again.
6.5 hour round
Fun little course but absolutely mismanaged, 6.5 hr round... teed off 30 min begind schedule and took us 2hrs to get to tee off at 5th hole. 4th hole is blind fairway no ranger helping out with 3 foursomes waiting. Could be fun little track but chaos out there. Ps never wrote a review in my life but 7 hr day at the course is loooong one
