Eagle Crest Resort

Played early November and we were the only 2 on the course. Although a shorter course, with par 62, still plenty of challenge and fun. Even though it is among homes, there is enough variety in the terrain and strategic placement of homes that it doesn't feel like a cookie cutter, housing development course.

A beautiful day in November and the course was in pristine condition.

I find the Ridge Course to be incredibly fair. If you've brought a decent swing to the course, you will be handsomely rewarded. Fairways and greens are quite large so even little left or right "squirts" aren't overly penalized.
Greens were in good shape, but very slow on a warm day in November. Missed 3 putts due to shortness on the way to a 79 with three birdies (4, 10 and 12).
Beautiful views and a good amount of elevation change make the Ridge Course a much better track than the Resort Course. If you're in for a real challenge to your game, try the shorter Challenge Course. It is deceptively difficult and will eat your lunch unless you've brought a great swing.

The course was in great condition. The greens were fairly fast and smooth. We were able to play in short sleeve golf shirts at the end of November. Typical Central Oregon weather!

This was definitely a great value for the money. The course was in excellent shape and we were able to complete the round in 4 hours.

The Ridge Course at Eagle Crest Resort is a very nice course and a good challenge for the average golfer.

However, it's a pretty long course to not have water available at some of the tee boxes and, unless you walk a lot of the time, this one might be a cart course as there is a lot of elevation change. We walked the course on a 70+ degree day and at a pretty good pace (Tee off at 1:45 and finish at 5:25) and the lack of coolers to refill the water bottle was irritating.

In season (and probably on weekends) there is a beverage cart but apparently not on a Thursday afternoon in October. There are restrooms so refilling in the bathroom sink is an option.

Value is a pretty subjective criteria - the 'hot deal' we got was a great value; at normal rates it's a pretty average value. There are less expensive courses in the area that we enjoy playing at least as much as this one.

Excellent conditioning
Fast & true greens
Good pace of play

Our initial look at this course suggested narrow fairways and overall a difficult play. However, we found it to be very playable for a mid-teens index golfer and novice spouse. The conditions were excellent, and everyone was very pleasant. A Great value for the money on this early fall afternoon.

Lush and tough. Best looking and toughest playing "short" course I've ever played.

The mix of par 3s and par 4s is nice and the par 3s are challenging. All greens are above average in difficulty. The par 4s do have some demanding tee shots that require accuracy. All in all, not for a novice, but novice players play here and ruin the pace of play. It is a nice walking course too. The course is designed to play in less than 3.5 hours; anything longer in terms of time is too long.

Enjoyed playing the course - returned to play several times during our week's vacation. Thanks

LOVE TO PLAY THIS COURSE! We walk it
And this gives us GOOD excercise!! Price is
Great with golfnow! Thank you!

Played the course many times, like the layout, course usually in good condition, no complaints there..however my big complaint is with the staff in the clubhouse, poor service, unfriendly, rude..Id recommend the course to play, but the staff needs much better customer service skills.

The Resort course at Eagle Crest Resort is a great course that always plays in great condition. It plays with some adjacent fairways so if you over draw or fade your tee shot you will still be in play as opposed to the Ridge course where if you shank it you will either be out of bounds or in the high desert. The fairways are lush and the rough is moderate length but very thick, which will help slow down a wayward tee shot. There are well placed bunkers on every hole but not overly protective. Modest clubhouse. Perfect for occassional players from front tees and still a good challenge from the back tees. Have fun!

The Ridge course at Eagle Crest Resort is an under rated course. It has an excellent balance of level, uphill and downhill approach shots with no blind shots. The greens are well protected by bunkers and the ever present break away from Cline Butte which is to the South. This break is stronger on the back 9. The 12th having the most deceptive break. Nice.
Go play the Ridge course and have fun!

I've golfed this course more than 10 times this season, it is always clean, well maintained, and has friendly staff. Fellow golfers are respectful and most will let you play through if they're slow. (No offense intended) I recommend this as a very challenging and fun short course. I frequently suggest this to friends.

We played the Challenge Course as our second 18 of the day, walking all 36 holes. The Challenge course was interesting, fun, and definitely a challenge. The holes presented opportunities as well as penalties and the walk over undulating terrain was surprisingly physical given the relative shortness of the overall yardage. Course is well maintained and the areas off the greens made for difficult shots when balls off the tee went astray. It was a good time all around and at $29 walking in the afternoon, a real value play.

The course offers a variety of challenges. It has wide fairways, nice scenery, and greens with good feel. Speed of play could be marshalled better, and not everyone repairs their ball marks. A good value in the $23-29 range. If paying more, there are other courses

The resort course pairs nicely with the Ridge course to provide two unique challenges. The course features speedy greens and well manicured fairways. Scenery is outstanding with mountain and river views.

This course is fun! Although a 'short' course it is not an easy walk as I prefer to do. Most folks would take a cart. The par threes are long and challenging. The par fours are short but you can take out the driver on them to try for a birdie. Wonderful views of Central Oregon on several holes. Play this course if you get the chance!
