I have to agree with weeman on this course. Hard as a rock, good drives end up off the fairway, rough around the green non existent so ball will run down back to you, course looks like the course is trying for conditions of a links course. Got so silly today we started putting from 50 feet or more off the green, better chance putting than trying to chip off of the fairways. No marshal so we waited on most shots and took over 4 1/2 hours when it normally takes us less than 4. Maybe I'll give it a try in February, hopefully mother nature will water the course.

I played Sunday and will have to go against previous reviews. I thought conditions were fairly dismal. Yes, the bermuda is going dormant, but that is not the issue with the turf here. The soil remains largely compacted and hard throughout the fairways and rough leading to rock-hard bounces, thin tight lies and bare spots where you are hitting off dirt at times (especially in the 'rough').

Add to this the greens have been slit-cut fairly recently - and although they were lightning fast, they were bobbly because of the slits. From either a visual or physical standpoint, the course is not in a condition that justifies the green fees IMO at the present time.

Played Eagle Glen on Friday Dec 9th, Had a 7:30 tee time, teed off on time. POP was decent at 4:30. All of the tee boxes were good, level and soft enough to get a tee into the ground. The fairways were dormant winter grass, very hard and running. You really had to concentrate on hitting a good shot or your club would "bounce" into the ball. A few brown spots and ground under repair in the fairways but did not play a factor in your shot for the most part. I was in two fairway bunkers and the sand was a little thin but playable. I like thinner sand for fairway bunkers and really soft fluffy sand for green side bunkers. I did see one or two fairway bunkers that had nothing but rocks and should have been called ground under repair. The rough was non existent, the areas off the fairways were cut down and your ball ran allot, but you could find your ball, The greens looked really nice, but were on the hard side, (only repaired a couple of ball marks) and they were extremely fast. If you had a down hill putt, good luck stopping the ball. Some of the hole locations appeared the ground crew had a bad previous evening LOL I amazingly only had 36 putts, I know 36 is terrible but at Eagle Glen and with those greens and hole locations, I felt good. I still like this place, challenging on the front nine and a little more forgiving on the back nine.

Joined SBogey, larryq2001 and sixpez for a GK Review Guru visit to Eagle Glen Golf Club Wednesday. I was part of the first GK Review Guru visit back in early September. Comparing this visit to the first one, the golf course has improved. The greens are now in much better condition and fairways a little more lush. With the cold nights now upon us, the fairways and rough are starting to transition to dormant blonde color. They will get more thin and firm with the cool temps however I feel the course has done a solid job on most holes establishing a good bermunda turf base so even when dormant, the fairways will have a nice padding of grass beneath them. They overseeded the tee boxes so those will remain lush and I can only see the greens, as excellent as they are now (fast, smooth, holding shots), getting more smooth and firm. Its was mixed bag for bunker conditions with most having quality sand and few on the firm compacted side. Our Pace of Play was brisk at just under 4 ½ hours. The layout is fantastic with exceptional closing holes – especially the Par 5 Risk/Reward 18. The clubhouse is grand, practice facilities excellent, service great – it’s a complete golf experience. If you are the kind of player that can enjoy a round of golf on dormant fairways/rough, you’ll be very pleased with Eagle Glen Golf Club – I know I was.

Played 11-30-16. Played as part of a GK Guru round. I haven't played here in over a year and the improvement is clear. Tee boxes were near perfect. The greens still showed signs of aeration but they rolled very fast. Some pin locations were really tough. Struggled to get them figured out. Bunkers were nice all around. There is still some work to be done on the fairways. A few dead spots and dry areas. Fairways were very firm so they roll out nice but hard lies made me struggle to make good contact. Had to really attack the ball so made irons work well but hybrids require perfect contact. A really fun layout I hope to get back and see as the fairways fill in.

Played 11/30 using the GK Guru discount. Thanks to Johnny GK for arranging this one. Played with Johnny, Sixpez and SBogey. Great weather and a thoroughly enjoyable day. EG is a challenging track. Elevation changes from some of the tee boxes have great views but also impact your drives. Pace of play for this afternoon was 4.5 hours and could have been a bit faster but had to wait on a couple of holes. Easy to lose balls out there if you spray your drives and many golfers go into the weeds looking for them. Course is starting to show winter wear. Tight lies in the fairways as the Bermuda grass is starting to go dormant. Found a lot of bare spots in the fairway. Over seeding has taken place on the tee boxes and the greens so those are in great shape right now. Greens were rolling nice and pretty fast particularly downhill. Some of the greens are really tricky. Undulations make them difficult to read. Bunkers were in good shape. Not fluffy but not real hard either. I did see the note from Head Pro Scott Flowers about the upcoming improvements to be made to the course. Looks like a 2 year plan and can’t wait to see the improvements kick in. It will be worth the wait. Although challenging, it is a fun layout. It had been a while since I have played EG but will make it a point to come back soon.

Played in the GK Review Guru time today with JohnnyGK, SBogey and larryq2001 (aka the birdie machine). 11:20 tee time and we went off on time. Steady pace of around 4.5 hours.

The course was in pretty good overall shape. The tee boxes have been overseeded and were playing well, though a few could use some leveling out. The fairways were tight and firm with lots of rollout. Some fluffy areas, some thin areas. Lies were inconsistent throughout the day, but still pretty good playability. Rough more of a mixed bag in terms of coverage with some clumpy spots around edges of fairways greens, but cut down and not too much of a factor. I was in two fairway bunkers. They were both very firm. Not in any greenside bunkers, though, so no comments there. The highlight of the course was by far the greens. They were firm, yet receptive, and rolling very fast on putts. I did notice an unusual number of tiny rocks on some greens and rabbit droppings on others, but the surfaces were overall really nice.

It's been a little while since I last played here. I have always liked the layout here and the setting. Things will probably brown out a little more as the winter goes on and the fairways get more and more dormant. However, it seems they are keeping the greens in great shape and the playability of the course is fine overall. It's clear from my previous visit to now that this is a course headed back in the right direction after some ups and downs in recent years.

Played EG on Sat 11/5 @ 0800.

The course is in GREAT shape. The greens are Lightning fast and true! Overall conditions were very good, though some tee boxes were uneven. Great customer service and smokin' cart girls. Avoid the steak salad in the 19th hole...not close to Oak Quarry's.

Go play EG!

Played this morning and it was in pretty good shape, I thought that after the sanding of the greens last week they would be a little quicker but rather slow for Eagle Glen. Fairways slowly improving but bunkers, fluffy fairway bunkers but hard greenside bunkers. IMO it should be the other way around. I really enjoy the back 9 better than the front 9. I will be back though. Have a good weekend. Here is something I saw and even the starter or pro shop could not answer but senior rates are 35 on Mon and Wed, and 40 on Tues and Thursday. Any idea what the reasoning is on this.
