Great day on the course

I love the layout of the course, navigating through very nice neighborhoods. The course conditions were improved from last year and surprisingly good. We all had a great time.

Great course, poor pace

This is one of the premier golf courses in the Rochester area. I brought out of town guests on a Friday afternoon and was VERY disappointed in that it took 5 hours to play. I called the clubhouse when there were 3 4somes waiting to tee off on the back 9 and things never improved. While longer than any round of golf in recent memory, we had a great day to play and made the most of our time, talking to the groups in front of and behind us throughout the round.

Improving conditions

Haven't played the course in a year and as previous reviewers have noted, they are adding white sand to the sand traps, which improves both appearance and playability. On the down side, it was 88 degrees and both water buckets were empty on the back 9 (and also the pin placements were supposed to be position 1 but on several holes when the pin was supposed to be back or front, it was instead the opposite, which on some greens made a huge difference.

Great Day on the Course

Never played here but it was highly recommended by other golfers we've been paired with so made the hour long drive and enjoyed this classic Fl course with a lot of character. Read some of the negative reviews and was a little concerned. The starter paired us up with 2 great golfers from Denmark and they got us out a little early. We played in 4 hours and had a great time. Any issue with conditions did not affect us at all. Get a hot deal and enjoy your round.

Nice track but needs some TLC

Whenever we come to Orlando we look forward to playing this course. We love the layout and there are some really fine holes, but the course needs work. The rough in many areas is full of weeds and several greens have significant damage, but the course is still very playable and we had a great time. The first 2 holes are weak, but after that it gets much better. Get a hot deal and enjoy your round.

Great Course

Always try to play Eagle Creek. when we visit. Course was in great shape. Only issue was we didn't finish our round due to darkness. We barely completed 16 holes in 4 hours and waited on every shot.

Great day on the course

Play this course annually. Always enjoy the layout and for a course that gets so much play, found it in surprisingly good condition. Paired up with another couple and we had a great time and played in around 4 hours.

Great round of golf

Beautiful course which was in very good shape and was challenging from the various tees. Played a little slow but we were paired up with another couple and had a terrific day.

Disappointing round

Tee time for 12:00, finished at 5:25. That alone says it all. No support from staff. Ranger useless. Course conditions OK but nothing special. Location convenient but even so plenty of other more interesting local options.

One of my favorites

Love the layout of this course. This year they over seeded so the course is in really good shape considering the cold weather. They had a 90 minute frost delay in the AM but we teed off only about 30 minutes late in the PM. The course suffers from being further out on route 9 but given the rates we think it's well worth the trip. Got paired up with people and had a great time.

Tough Day

I had read the mixed reviews and expected the worse but while the course has a number of greens with disease, and no question that's an issue, they are obviously working to rectify the situation and we could tell they are putting money into making improvements. While course conditions is certainly an issue, we could overlook that but for us the killer was pace of play. It took us 4:50 minutes and we waited on every single shot. It is intolerable to play under those conditions and even though we enjoyed the people we played with, there is no excuse for that length of round, I don't care how full the tee sheet.

Great day on the course

It had rained a lot overnight but the course was dry and conditions very good. After reading some of the reviews I was concerned but thought the course was in very good condition and had a great day. Course was busy but the pace was fine.

Good Day

Our 4some played 2 holes before thunderstorms rolled in so had a beer at the bar and caught up with each other for 90 minutes before the rain finally stopped. Expected to collect rain checks but the pro told us the course would be fine and sure enough, we went back out and the course had handled the rain well and we had no issues. Zipped around the course and it was in surprisingly good shape. Some challenging holes with multi-tiered greens. Great value.

Excellent choice

Picked it up as a hot deal and though the reviews were solid one never knows. Turns out it was an excellent mountain course. Exceptionally well maintained (tough when the course is carved out of the hills) with expected elevation changes, woods, doglegs and a little water.Very enjoyable round.

Not worth it

We played 9 holes today and on the 2nd hole there were 3 4somes waiting on the tee! The 9 holes took 2 hrs 40 minutes. When I went into the pro shop to complain I was told that they couldn't understand my issue and I need to understand that they are busy and one should expect 5 to 5.5 hour rounds. With that attitude, there is no point in discussing any further since anything beyond 4 hours 15 minutes, 4:30 at the most is inexcusable and to suggest otherwise is simply abusing golfers for the sake of increased revenue. We will not be back again.

First time playing this course and was pleasantly surprised. Course was in good shape. Wide, forgiving fairways with some bunkers and water coming into play.

nice layout

The staff told us up front that the course was under new ownership and was working hard on improving conditions. The work being done was evident. While the greens are still in poor condition, the rest of the course was actually quite nice. The layout is terrific, flowing through very nice neighborhoods. Not many people on the course so we played in less than 4 hours and had a really nice day. When the greens come back the course will really be special, but in the meantime you can take advantage of the low rates.

Always an interesting track

Course was in really good shape and they are improving all the time. The course layout is fair and challenging for all levels. One of my favorites in the area. Always booked solid which results in slower rounds. They were running 30 minutes behind on this day so many afternoon tee times did not finish, but still had a good day.

Pleasant surprise

Although the course was still damp from the excessive rain over the past few weeks, the course condition was surprisingly good and with the deal we got through golfnow, it was well worth the trip. The layout was pretty straight forward, laying within the boundaries of a fenced in neighborhood in congested Hollywood. Easy access from rt 95 was a big plus. I could see under drier conditions the course could be really nice.
