Great Eagle Golf Club, rated one of the most affordable golf courses in Arizona, is a championship course in the West Valley. Although it has a traditional design there are several unique and challenging elements that come into play such as undulating mounds that cause uneven lies and well-guarded greens. Water hazards also come into play on four holes. The golf course offers three sets of tee boxes so that there is some flexibility regarding levels of challenge, but overall the course is suitable for any player. The Great Eagle Golf Club, in addition to the course, also offers both a chipping green and a putting green.

Cow pasture

Price was $29 but after playing you could see why. Layout was horrible with mogels all around the course. Should not have them in front on greens because you have to run up shots because of the hard greens. Greens had several brown spots. Don’t know if was an over seeding problem or lack of water. The large dips off the greens should be filled in with dirt and leveled. It to believe this is a course owned by the owners of the Tradtions.

Great Eagle

This course has improved significantly from 1 year ago. The fairways and greens are in better shape. The sand traps are not sand traps but hard pan. They need to improve the sand in the traps. Typical desert course with little rough to work with, dirt and gravel..Overall for this time of year a great value with a Great Eagle punch card.

Rude staff, rude players

The staff gave us 2 warnings about holding up the group behind us even though the group in front of us were holding us up thus causing everyone to be held up. The staff also complained that we weren’t on the cart path when the course and cart path literally look the same (poor condition) throughout most of the course. The people here seemed very judgmental towards us. If this course was nice like the Wigwam or The Raven then I understand the staff being a little picky, but this course is horribly maintained and cheap looking.

Not on our list of courses to golf again...

I understand the reviews are very subjective and dependent on one-time experiences but the previous reviews that speak to the poor condition of this course are spot on.

The greens and parts of some of the fairways are in nice shape but the remainder of the course falls under the category of "disasterous."

Many, many repairs and improvements have been started but just left unfinished. Such as curb and cart path concrete repairs. The paths, as mentioned i previous reviews, are very, very rough. the bunkers are concrete. Drainage is nonexistent.

Much of the layout is fun and appealing but some areas make me scratch my head. Some tee boxes on the back nine are literally a few feet away from the RV campsite'ss backyards. And the residents could care less about the golfers. Loud music, parties, talking, etc.

The vibe is just not for me. I'm not a country club snob by any stretch but this course looks and feels like the golfers dress, in wifebeaters and sleeveless shirts.

With the exception of the lady that checked us in, the staff we interacted with were unfriendly and unhelpful.

I will not return and cannot recommend...

Average Arizona Course

This course is an older course in the area. Front 9 needs to be updated. Back 9 is much better. They do not work the bunker's at all. They are hard as a rock. Should just get rid of them. Rental carts need to be upgraded. Restaurant/Bar has great food and atmosphere with many large tv's. Friendly staff.

Slow play

I wish people that don’t no how to golf would go to a par 3 or stay on a driving range until they are able to golf, 5 hour rounds don’t cut it when you follow people that don’t no how to golf. Very frustrating.
