Played today for the first time. I really enjoyed this course. Played the black tees. Yardage is 6930 but plays shorter, aside from the 650 yard par 5 on the back and a 477 yard par 4. I only hit driver once on the front nine. The layout is great, aside from the 2nd hole. It's a very short par 4 heading up into the hills with fairway so uneven and mounded it's impossible to get a flat lie. Couple that with a blind uphill shot to a postage stamp green surrounded by environmental hazzard - nearly unfair. Conditions were good and as stated the panoramic views are incredible. It certainly helps to have some local knowledge as there are some blind shots and strategically placed hazards that can be avoided. All in all its a fair test of golf that will yield some scoring if you don't play too agressively.

EGGC has a very nice layout & friendly staff. The panorama is awesome; greens and fairways are OK; but playing it on a Sunday afternoon (1pm TT) is just not worth it. It is too slow and the worst part is our golf cart broke twice...a flat tire & a dead battery!

12:30 p.m. start on a Thursday. Weather was fine. Need to hit it straight as there is OB on most of the narrow holes. You finally get a break on the back 9, where you can actually hit into the rough and find your ball. Gold tees were playing short on many holes. Fairways in good condition. Greens still recovering from aeration couple weeks ago - a little bit sandy, very hard, but slower than you'd expect. Busy day so the cart batteries were not fully charged. Had to wait some on most holes; finished in about 5 hours. Guys behind us were impatient; hit into us a few times as we waited for the green to clear. On 18, I finally learned from previous trips here: laid up on my 2nd shot to about the 150 marker, hit the green on my 3rd, and two-putted for a par to finish on a positive note.

The condition of the course reflects the recent punching and overseeding of the greens. Despite the terrible putting surface, it was still a golf experience worth the $35 green fee (on-line price)... but definitely not worth the regular green fee otherwise. The view is beautiful, lots of wildlife, elevation changes, definitely a well designed course.

Played on 9-13. First time playing this course. I really enjoyed the layout. I found it to be somewhat similar to Trilogy which is just a few miles away. The course is pretty straight forward. They have recently aerated the fairways but the holes are small, and they don't affect play. The greens are in pretty good condition, a few ball marks here and there, some worse than others. My only complaint was the pace of play. Over 2 1/2 hours to play the front nine, never once saw a marshall. Although the pace was slow, I really had a good time playing this course. Will definately be back...

a bit of a drive from Torrance (60 miles, 55 minute drive with no traffic) played on Sunday at 11:48 AM, was extremely empty at that tee time, didnt see a group behind or in front until the 15th hole. I think because football season's started. Great conditions on the greens right now, a few dry spots on the fairways with some muddy conditions in various areas. Course itself is very smartly designed with good use of elevation changes to carefully pick out club choices. Similar to Black Gold in yorba linda though not quite as long. One problem i see is that the black tee boxes play at about 6900 yards while the gold tee boxes play at about 6300. While 6300 yards still make it a tough golf course, it would be nice to have a set of tees in the 6500-6700 yard range for some. great practice facility with a nice grass driving range, esp. since green fees include free range balls. will definitely be back

It'd been a while since I'd been to Eagle Glen. Last time there the service was horrible and the conditions not so great. I'd agree now the conditions are very good. Greens were pretty quick; looks like they'd been sanded a few weeks ago. They were in good shape. Fairways in good shape, too. Tee boxes (blacks) were many times very uneven. Pace of play was way too slow for a monday (almost five hours, 9:30 tee time). Only complaint..."cashier" in pro shop was at first professional, then...I made a comment about the constant 9/11 coverage on the tv that day (they had it playing in the pro shop)..."hard to get away from that today," I said. Cashier said, "that's the problem. People getting away from it. We should go over there today and kill a million of those f...ers." Direct quote. I'm sorry, but last thing I, or Troon Golf should want, is their employees ranting about murdering people. Sure, we're all entitled to our opinion, but I don't feel as though an employee handling my transaction should go off on a rant like that. It was offensive and rude. In the bar after work with the guys, fine, but not while you're running my credit card.

Play this from the black tees and you will know why you need to hit it straight. The front nine is mountainous and tee shots need to carry and be on target. The back nine is a beautiful view from the front 9 and flatter and wider but still a challenge. I loved playing it and I got a discount with the the Roger Dunn card. Hole 18 is a great hole with the water right and the risk/reward choices. Watch for the animal life, road runners all over the place and I even got up close and personal (20 feet) with a bobcat and her cub near the bridge on 18.

Havent been here for a couple of years,too much $$, but with $50 senior rate and high gas prices it is now a good deal if ya live close. . What a great golf course, first off, its beautiful ,the course is in great shape,except the bunkers. Dont get in the bunkers,some strange sand or dirt or ?? and lots of rocks, big freaking rocks. But,, thats the only bad thing. Everything else is terrific. Greens are fast, they hold shots and if ya dont know what to look for the breaks are not what you see. We loved the place, gonna be back next week. Pace of play was slow for a 7:30 AM tee time. no marshals that we saw. Bring stuff to drink in the early AM as the food shack doesnt open till 10. The cart girl is a doll and ya see here a lot after 9. As I said, we think this is a top 10.track.
