Played first off on Monday. Apparently they do not intend to overseed, nor will they be punching greens (Except for #14 which was being punched today) Fairways a bit thin at times, but playable. Greens were hit & miss, some better than others. Staff was great! A beautiful day to play golf.

Encouraged by JJRAUEN's review from September 14, I decided to take a stroll up Interstate 15 to play Eagle Glen on Saturday, the 22nd. Truth being stranger than fiction, my friend and I were paired up with another two on the first tee...and JJRAUEN just happened to be one of them! Didn't realize it until we reached the first green but needless to say, our 'GK' affiliation helped break the ice and we had a great time. And witnessing John's 7-iron "on-the-fly" hole out on #15 for EAGLE was the highlight of the day!

I usually make a point to play Eagle Glen 3 or 4 times a year but haven't been there in quite some time, perhaps a couple of years. The reviews posted over that time period haven't always been complimentary, thus necessitating other options. Buoyed by what I read last week, I looked forward to my round and was very pleased with the condition of the course.

At a time when many facilities are tightening their belts and cutting back on maintenance expenditures, Eagle Glen is not only maintaining the playability of the course during this prolonged September heat wave, but also spending additional money to further improve conditions. For example, the back tee box on #17 is currently undergoing a complete renovation and new turf has been planted along the greenside sand traps on #13. I also noticed that some areas of concern in the past...most notably the fairway on #11...have been rectified and in much better shape now.

Given that a few courses in the immediate vicinity are seeing their fairways turn brown as a result of the heat, Eagle Glen appears to be putting a healthy dose of water on its' fairways and greens. There might be a couple of confined ares of the fairway that aren't green yet there is healthy turf to hit from nonetheless. Greens were soft and extremely receptive Saturday morning as just about every approach shot stopped dead or backed up slightly. As a result, shooting at the pins became the order of the day.

However, as a result of the generous hydration, there were some soft spots in the fairways, which minimized any appreciative roll-out from the tee, unless the ball was hit on a low trajectory. And the bunker sand, although meticulously maintained, took on the consistency of damp cement mix from sprinkler overspray. In fact, the fairway bunker on #6 was partially filled with standing water, requiring relief for one of us.

Greens were in very good shape and putted smoothly at a medium-to-medium+ speed. Did not see the out-of-control ball mark issue that is prevalent at many other courses so it's apparent that, in addition to the maintenance crew, those who play here make a point to repair their divots. Very commendable.

Rough was about 3" or so in length and a bit fluffy in some areas, so you really had to pay attention to your lie in order to select the correct club and decide on the proper shot. Tee boxes, as I recall, were mostly level and in good condition. And the pace-of-play was good; just a 4.5 hour round despite a somewhat slow start for the first nine. Marshal was monitoring play and got a slower group up ahead to pick up the pace and it was a breeze from #8 going forward. Very courteous staff all around. I'll also note that the well-marked driving range was in great shape with good turf from one end to the other.

For anyone interested, we stopped for lunch after the round and found the current menu a bit restrictive when compared to what was the norm a couple of years ago. Choice of a few sandwiches and such but the excellent fish tacos are nowhere to be found. The Pulled Pork Sandwich was tasty although the presentation was very bland; looked like something was missing from the plate when it arrived.

It's nice to see Eagle Glen make a bona fide effort to reattain their position as one of the better places to play in Southern California, from a playability perspective as well as conditioning angle. Multiple tee boxes present many options regardless of one's skill level and the layout is challenging, fair, and visually striking. The dramatic elevation changes add character and require some thought when it comes to choosing the correct club. Just about every hole will grab your attention so when you add up all the pieces, Eagle Glen places high on my favorites list.

Course is in great shape. Greens smooth and fast and roll true. Was in 1 greenside bunker and it had me confused as it was about 5" of nice fluffy sand. I forgot how to get out of sand. I had a good time and it would have been a lot nicer if the foursome in front knew any etiquette or golf. Waited on every hole and we teed off at 6:50. Not the courses fault. Enjoy the Ryder Cup.

Played Friday 9/14/12. Overall, excellent condition. Fairways lush and mostly green, but even drier spots were very playable. Greens soft, receptive, and rolling nicely. Bunkers were good, although a little heavy. Tee boxes good. Good service inside and out. Play it now!

Played EG early Friday, fairways and bunkers very wet. Greens rolling medium speed in good condition. Lots of bare areas around the greens made it difficult to get a decent lie for a good chip. A few challenging holes made it a fun day. Senior rate of $39 was a fair deal.

Played early 8/24. This course is really coming back as far as condition goes. Almost all the fairways are in great shape and many of the rebuilt tee boxes are now open. The greens are in good condition and rolled very well. In another 6 months this course will be back to the jewel it was 5 - 6 years ago. Kudos to course management and ownership.

Played on 8/24 on the afternoon. I had a great twilight rate.
The course is in the same conditions it was two weeks ago, as I wrote on my previous review.
From my previous visit new tee boxes on #17 are now open.
Pace of play a little over 4h 30m. It was pretty busy but always a great experience playing Eagle Glen.

Played on 8/10 on a really really hot day.
Great layout with a collection of beautiful and challenging holes, above all the finishing Par 5 18th.
Conditions are generally good considering the heat of the period, with some work-in-progress areas on fairways and tee boxes. New tees on holes #2 and #9 and a in a few weeks a new tee box complex on the par 3 #17 is going to be completed.
Golf carts are equipped with GPS and customer service is great.
Practice area is huge and perfect to warm up before your round.
Pace of play for a friday afternoon was great. 4 hours playing on a foursome and having another foursome in front of us.
As soon as the course will be back to have pristine conditions (and they really care about it) it will be one of the greatest deals and greatest courses on the Inland Empire.
