My usual disclaimer - I know, we're in a drought. But you should still know course is dry (there - said it). Rough non-existent as a result, except round greens where it is patchy to lush and tangly. Also lots of bushy dormant bermuda lies around greens - so you know how fun that can be.

Tees were good but I played the blacks. Fairways semi-dormant, thin, dry (said it again) and hard. Greens are fine looking but with a few bobbles (quick downhill and slow uphill - play the terrain to measure your breaks). Sand is good for the most part, but there are a number of traps that they have given up on and are marked as GUR (esp. on 13 - never understood why those fairway traps were there anyway). Those traps are 'dry' (oops - again). I would rate about 6.5-7 right now. Have at it.

Well I was played yesterday on the 2nd and it was OK. The weather was good for golfing. I like some if this greens there because its flat and my chipin is easy on long chips because my long puts are very bad these days. I like it and it was a fun time. This greens have some ball marks but I fixed most of them. The fairways are mostly hard pan with some divot holes. Thanks

Not sure what is going on here. This use to be one of my go to courses but since they got a new GM a few months ago it is slowly going down hill. For example, 2 of friends called Tues night and wanted to go somewhere. I called the course at 6:30 while we were eating breakfast and they said come on out, no problem. They were correct, course was almost empty and never really saw another group close. Course is hard, dry, and fast. Bunkers are nice raked dirt and rough is non existent, greens are hard and bumpy. Maybe it's the winter weather but other courses aren't as bad. I would wait for a couple of months to go and hope that mother nature is kind and the course comes back. It is definitely not worth the green at this time. I remember when you had to call at least 3 days in advance to get a tee time and now you can almost walk on. Not a good sign.

I am not going to rate this visit as it was a day after the rain, and this place (especially the holes that play near the mountain slopes) is usually hit hard. So just so you know, it is particularly marshy in spots, especially 1-7, as well as 11 and 16. With more rain forecast expect the hilly parts of the course to remain this way for a while.

That said, easy enough to drop out of casual water and find a clean spot, and the greens were pretty firm all things considered.

I always enjoy playing here and seem to play well on the course. Played at 9:20AM on Friday, 12/5/14, on a warm/cool, sunny/cloudy day with little wind. Booked on Golfnow for $55 and the pro shop guy dropped it to $40 as I was a senior - BOO-YAH! That's worth a big 'attaboy'! The course was busy but not crowded - things jammed up a little bit on the back side behind a fivesome(!) and we wound up getting thru in ~4.5 hr.

I was paired with two contractors playing golf while their employees worked. They were friendly but mostly consumed with their money match and talking on the phone - I swear one of them made or took more than 100 calls during our round. The other had music playing on his phone the entire round. The joys of playing as a single!!

Eagle Glen was in good condition after the recent rains. Greens were very good - a little soft, accepted shots easily, rolled well at medium speed. Good lies in the fairways - a few (par 5s) were more wet than other holes and may have been getting some kind of treatment. Rough has been allowed to grow a little the past few months to cut down on the runoffs into bordering hazard areas - however, the rough grass is pretty gnarly and requires a firm hand to hit/chip from. Many fairway traps are still being revitalized and are marked as GUR. Many of the tees seemed to be recently punched and were wet/soft, giving unsure footing.

There were many areas around the course plagued by lots of divots in the fairways and rough. We tried to address as many as we could and also hit up the marshall for extra sand. Refill station after #10 was almost empty and what bottles remained were soaked and sand unusable. I was glad to see a maintenance worker on #13 filling divots - it looks like the course could use a full-time guy(s) for that. Most greens had 5-10 unrepaired ball marks.

Course is in good condition. Go play it.

Played today and was disappointed for the first time in long time. Fairways were tight, probably 11 on the stemp meter(almost dirt fairways) Non existent rough so the ball would run off the fairway or away from the green. 4 tee boxes were terribly uneven and a few were flooded. Now what really was a shame was that about a month ago they turned away a 5 some and said they don't allow 5 somes in the morning. Well. I guess they changed their minds because we were behind a 5 some and waited on every tee box. These guys were SLOW and because of them it took 5 hours to play the round. Will be awhile until I go back. Not worth the hassle.

This is always a fun course to play, and the staff is always very accomodating in allowing me to get out first thing as a single. I try to play here a few times a year and am never disappointed.

The overall condition is very good. I found the greens to be excellent and roll very true. Also very receptive to well struck shots. Greenside bunkers were fantastic. (At these the two found myself in) They have closed several of the blue tee boxes for over seeding, so they was combined them with the black tees. (Makes for a bit longer course)

There are just a number of really nice holes on this course. The course does not require you to do anything spectacular to be able to put a good score on the card (If you play the correct tees) Not overly penal, but can bite you if you hit a poor shot, which is the way it's supposed to be.

I played here last Tuesday, 8/26 and course is in excellent condition. Tight lies in fairways as the drought continues, quite a few bunkers marked GUR as they are digging them out and getting ready for sand. Greens were the best I have seen, could not even find a ball mark that needed fixing. It seems like the golfers here fix there ball marks. I know last week at Goose Creek, I would fix 2-3 a green and we teed off at 7 and already ball marks. Thanks all you Eagle Glen golfers for fixing your ball marks.

The last couple reviews really hit it on the head. Course is in really good shape right now. Tee boxes and fairways were in excellent shape. Greens here are TOUGH but very, very receptive. POP was right about 4:15. I wish I would have read the tips before as the breaks are very deceiving. Rolling pretty quick as well. Don't be afraid to attack some of the pins as the greens welcome any well struck ball. Some bunkers were marked GUR and were my only gripe. One in particular on hole 4 had standing water and should have been marked GUR. The one I was was very, very hard and filled with small rocks ready to wreak havoc on your clubs. The course is a blast to play though! Front nine is target golf where a 4 or 5 iron will soon become your best friend. Leave the woods in the bag as the course isn't terribly long and calls for accuracy. The course opens up a ton on the back but if you want to score well be sure to stick to the same gameplan as the front. The wide fairways and landing areas are really only there to entice you to try and break out the big stick only to find yourself in the junk and hitting 3. For the rate, layout, and conditions, I will definitely be back!
