Eagle Ridge Golf Club

Excellent and fast greens. Not for beginners. Course management is the key. Long hitters watch out, you can make double or triple bogeys where you think you have a birdie chance if your drives are not accurate. Play long par 4 holes as par 5 and you might just make a par or a birdie. Nice scenery on many holes. Course overbooks during the weekends. Staff is nice.

Beautiful course. Nice deep bunkers with lots of white sand. A lot of fun shots because you've almost always got an uphill or downhill shot. I have three very small trivial complaints. The rough isn't very deep (maybe 1.5 inches). The cart paths take are not very close to hitting area's making for a lot of long walks (whats the point of renting the cart if I gotta walk the whole course). My 3rd complaint is that they need to have an tee box between the the tips and the whites. The whites are to short for a 10 handicap (6331 yd) while the blacks are a bit to long (6904 yd). This really is a must play.

I used to play this course all the time when they offered a student rate. Now it's WAY too expensive and I won't play there again until they lower their rates. I mean come on! This economy is in a recession! No way should they be charging what they are charging to play there. There are nicer courses in this area that are cheaper than this place. Don't get me wrong, I really love this course, but now that they are charging out the butt to play there, I just can't play there anymore and I'm kinda bitter.
