Fun and challenging -- as the name says!

Great short course but need to be accurate with distance control. Used most of the clubs in my bag.
Greens were in good shape. We paid $29 per person via Golf Now but they charged us $17.50 per rider in the cart - seemed kind of steep for an executive course.

Great course for the money.

It's a nice and challenging course. The fairways are surrounded by big swells on both sides so if your not hitting fairways it's going to be a rough day.

Like playing with WIllie Nelson

IOW it was like having our own course. THe condition was fabulous. Not ball marks on greens. Fairways like carpet. There were people behind us but as a twosome we got so far ahead that we were all alone.

It is a beautiful course

I don't know if the golf course knows what we paid for 18 holes or not, but they charged us $34.00 for our cart. We have never paid that much before. Probably will not go back for that reason!

Good 18 Holes

Eagle Crest Challenge course is a good par 3/4 course. The greens are well maintained and holes are just enough work for a intermediate golfer.

Great 3.5 hour golf on excellent course

The course is alternating par 3 and par 4. All requiring the ball be kept in play. Greens are small, a bit slow with a noticeable difference between up grain or down. They are typical public greens, bit hard and rarely hold a wedge. Play to expect roll on approach shots. Couple of greens don't match rest and are fast. Sand traps are bunkers. Fairways are rolling and rough is natural high desert. Easy to loose balls here. Nice layout with good visuals. Must be in shape to walk it, good size distance between holes. Women's tees offer real distance from mens on most holes making this good couple course. Overall, very good course to keep your game in shape. Very friendly staff, nice facilities, and easy to finish 18 in 3.5 hours.

Lots of Bang for the Buck

After playing this PAR 63 course a number of times last year I thought I would not 'like' to play it much this year. For a short course (non-Par 5, and some short/shorter holes), this 18 hole course offers plenty of challenges and opportunities to practice all aspects of the game. From the Blue Tees, this course has some Par 4s that require a good drive and a short to mid iron in. The Par 3s from the Blues also require some mid irons. The greens were in good condition given the time of year and the pace of play was superb. I finished in under 3 hours. I'd recommend this to anyone looking for (a) a shorter round, (b) someone who is looking to work on his/her short game - NOTE - all greens have good approaches, sand traps, some water and YES - real 'par 72' size greens. But again, there's a couple opportunities to hit Driver of the tee and 3 wood all day long.

A mid- iron short course

Obviously it was March and luckily the weather was good and sunny at 55 degrees! The greens where still somewhat less than adequate - no ball cleaners or water coolers and the beverage cart only came to us at the 16th hole...pretty poor planning!
Over-all, this is a fun course, especially for baby boomers who are "improving their game" after working a long career!
I would play this course again...even if the $16.00 per person to ride a cart is excessive in my opinion! The F&B venue is terrible!

lives up to its name

I like the course, and have played it about 7-8 times. A good healthy walk( I am almost 74 yrs). Had 3 birdies, and played one over. It is a good test of accuracy off the tee, and your short game...both chipping and putting. Oh, and sand, even though I wasn't in any traps this day. Lots of them, and pretty tough.

Fun short course

My wife and I played here for the 2nd time, course in decent shape, only 2 hrs 50 minutes walking…we caught up to the foursome ahead of us at the 9th, which slowed us down a bit, but pace was good. Lots of par 3's and short par 4's…fun round!

Still a Favorite

One can enjoy a quick 18 holes of challenging golf here. Every hole is unique. In winter shape now, but still worth the money.

The greens were a little wet, but overall very nice course. I wish the pin flags were normal height, pretty hard to judge distance.
