Poorly maintained

Too many pitch marks. Too many poorly maintained areas. Some poor fairways.
Inconsistent sand traps. Practice golf balls Too old. Indoor Food service poor. Golf course is not a well maintained course. Obviously not enough maintenance workers. Once desirable, now more like a C+ level public course.

Slow play can be a problem here but can be solved by sending a marshal out to pick up the slow players.

Solid Track

Eagle Ridge has gone through some major and positive renovations. For starters the course has reduce the number and sizes of many traps making it a much fairer course.
The fairways are in great shape and the greens continue to challenge the best putters, but the large greens offer great opportunities for amazing putts.
An early start will get you around in 4jrs or even less.
You will need all your clubs and each hole has its own risk reward, but at the end of the day it only makes you better.
I have been playing Eagle Ridge for over 3 years now and play there 3 times a week. There are serious discounts for different memberships which I have done.

Beautiful views this time of the year. Fairways, bunkers and greens are in great shape. Rough was a bit long which made it more challenging than usual. Still, one of our favorite courses.

Not going back

well after playing and being so disappointed i decided to leave review. Then I saw ALL the prior negative feedback and feel like they dont care anyway. and the course shows it too.The layout is nice but the condition is very poor. from tees, and fairways in worse shape than most bay area public courses (not even close). and care of the greens says it all about " the course doesnt care so the players dont care".

this is a $38 per round value - not includding the slimey $9 charge they add on when you check in ... the priority is to take your money. period.

stay away until sold.

Very poor Business decision

Course and conditions were fine, but I will not play there again because of ridiculous $9 fee they add AFTER you get there. I booked on-line and when I checked-in, the “less than friendly” counter guy told me about the $9 “fertilizer “ fee. What???! Fertilizer is part of the Cost of Doing Business!
If they need this fee, it should be included in the advertised price of the round and then the public can decide if they want to play or not. But to try to slide this in at the Pro shop is horrible business and will lose customers. Several of my golfing buddies feel the same way.

Poor condtions

It's a beautiful site and it looks like the kind of place where you're going to experience a beautiful course, well-maintained. NOT! It is a beautiful course and the rate to play there is reasonable, but up there. For that money, you'd expect well-maintained conditions. But, no. Lots of areas where it was roped off, places where it was muddy, and places where it was dried out and where grass and dirt mixed together to make hitting the next shot more than challenging. I will not bother to pay $80 (the discounted price) to play there again.

5:30 round, on a Thursday… can’t believe it

Honestly, the course condition was nice, but when you have just random bare dirt spots, that of course I wind up in, it can affect the overall condition. Secondly, tournament or not, it was no PGA qualifier or anything, there needs to be a marshal, I watched a gentleman, 30 yard putt for 8, on a par 3, he lines it up from opposite side of the hole, then takes 5 practice putting swings, pebble beach has faster rounds than here.

Not worth $73 for the twilight rate

Tee boxes are terrible and not much grass left.
They are not flat at all.
Many dirt patches in the fairways and around greens.
$73 for this condition is a rip-off.
I'll never go back to this course.
It should've been around $45 for this condition.

Nice Course

ERGC is nice tract set in a beautiful gated community on the south side of Gilroy approximately 15 minutes from Morgan Hill. The clubhouse, staff, and snack bar are excellent. The practice area is a little neglected and small but adequate for warming up prior to your round. The course has a fun layout requiring some well placed tee shots but not drastically difficult due to the relatively generous fairways. There are several tee boxes to choose from making the course playable for a wider range of golfers. The fairways could be better groomed and the greens a little faster, but regardless are very playable. The pace of play was good, especially for a weekend. My foursome was able to finish by 3:00pm with a 11:00am start. Not bad for a Sunday. I would definitely play again.
