It was a beautiful day and I really enjoyed being out. It was the first time replaying this course Iin several years. Nice course and facilities. The course was in great shape but could use some rain as is probably the case in many courses in the area. Tigers Eye is a good layout to test your golf skills. I would recommend to most golfers as there are multiple tee boxes to test any level.

Need new management

Our same foursome played Tiger's Eye shortly after it opened about 16 years ago. At that time, the course was in excellent shape and we enjoyed it immensely. We decided to revisit it again and what a disappointment it was.. Although the Staff was friendly, the greens were simply awful, with bare spots and poa annua infestations throughout. Additionally, the course was rough around the edges, with weeds growing everywhere. I played and scored fairly well despite the conditions; but I'd be lying if I said that we weren't very disappointed. It seems that the course has been either horribly neglected or grossly mis-managed.

Don’t bother playing until they relay all the greens.

Not the first time I’ve played Tigers Eye but it is the poorest experience I’ve had here. The course was in general in poor condition. I subsequently found out that they have had trouble for a few years the the greens being , in places, almost unplayable and that they are due to close this course and Panthers Run to rebuild the greens. A shame as the layout is very good but the maintenance is poor.

There's a twinkle back in Tiger's Eye

Course conditions improved from what I had heard they had been in recent years, so kudos to the management and crews to bringing the course back. Greens rolled fast but weed intrusions and rough spots in places still need some attention. Fairways are growing in and greening up, too. Absolutely beautiful layout and I definitely want to and will be playing again.

Thank you for taking the time to review your visit to Tiger's Eye. Yours is the first 2 star or lower review we have had in quite some time and I was wondering if there was anything in particular that contributed to such a low score? Any constructive feedback would be greatly appreciated. You can contact me directly at blong@oceanridge.com. Thank you again.

Accurate Review

I almost canceled my tee time after reading some of the reviews. Glad I did not, Tiger’s Eye is a great layout amongst beautiful tall sand pines. Really solid golf holes. Very peaceful, not a lot of houses…fun layout with opportunity to score, or shoot a high number from correct tee boxes.

Conditions: Tiger’s Eye 4.4.23…had quality tee boxes, fairways, rough and bunkers…very fun to hit full shots, chips and pitches off the turf. The greens are not pristine…they are spotty in places but roll pretty good overall. Good strokes were fairly rewarded. No problems judging speeds. Couple of bald spots here and there, just move the ball no closer to the hole if you need a true roll on a money putt. No reason to pass up a deal time at Tiger’s Eye.

Much Improved from a year ago

Ocean Ridge Plantation has always been a must play over the years. During COVID it was in bad shape, all 4 courses, with that said I have seen an improvement in Tigers Eye & Lions Paw. It is coming along to somewhat back to what I have experienced over the years. Greens were fast, fairways were getting back to where they used to be. Tee Boxes we’re good.

Beautiful Course
Greens rolled great, little spots of crab grass and burning’s from the sun but the maintenance team does a great job of keeping the pin away from those areas. I loved the layout, definitely will be back on my next golf trip.

Deceivng

I came back to play this course that I played a couple of years ago and it and lost most of its charm.
Cart paths were broken in many places leaving big steps and holes. Greens were the worst ones I played over the week with patchy co dictions that don’t keep ball line. Much of the dough was just dirt with no grass.
Very deceiving for such a nice layout.

Thank you for playing Tiger's Eye recently. We apologize we were unable to meet your expectations on this visit. The cart path situation you described is part of a temporary renovation project. We had prepped several areas for the installation of new concrete cart paths, which will be completed by the end of this week (By 3/24) After that, these areas will be nice and smooth. We did have the areas you mentioned blocked off from use during this period, for the safety of our guests. Again, we apologize for this short term inconvenience. The unexpected cold snap last week did impact our greens for a few days, but they have recovered nicely and will be in very good shape as we go forward through our spring golf season and beyond. We hope you will visit us again.

Disappointed with the condition of course

This used to be a course that was always in superb condition. Was sorely disappointed !Does anyone work on the course to maintain it? The greens were an absolute mess! Save your money and go elsewhere!

We apologize we were unable to meet your expectations on your recent visit. As you can see here on the NBC GolfPass website, Tiger's Eye has been receiving very good reviews lately, so I will try to find out out what might have contributed to your issues on 3/13 and address these with our maintenance staff immediately. We hope you will visit us again soon and see our continued progress.
