Great Course

For years this has been a very nice course to play, somewhat challenging but the greens are great. We usually play early and lately the pace of play has been great, finishing in under 4 hours.

Great course and great staff!

This is my first time playing at this course. I enjoyed not only the excellent course layout and maintenance, but also the friendly and professional staff. The day I played was really hot and my body was dehydrated, they brought ice water and allowed me to recover to normal, so I can finish my 18 holes. They have one special staff member who drives around the course to make sure you are doing well and I absolutely highly recommend this place to any golfer who likes a serene and beautiful golf experience!

Course was in terrible shape. Tee boxes had knee high weeds, fairways either bare patches or mud puddles, greens had so many ball marks it was like a pachinko machine. Will not go back unless major upgrades to course maintenance are made.

Love the course but course conditions not good

I have been playing Eagle Ridge from when it first opened and love the layout but the course continues to disappoint. I keep coming back and hope it is better.
The last time I played the sand traps were all out of order. This time for example, hole 15 green was so beat up and there was actually big hole in the green. The fairway greens were very inconsistent not getting a true lie on the grass as there were many brown patches. To top it off we played in five hours and that was because the group in front of us was so slow. We NEVER saw a marshal or any drink carts. If you are going to charge almost $100 to play the least you can do was have a marshal and drink carts. Also, the bathroom between hole four and five was absolutely horrible. Where the mirror was the wall was coming apart and the urinal was disgusting. It is really sad, because this course can be amazing if someone just put money into it. Last, the range balls were also a joke. Half were old balls that were so beat up. I guess I will try again in another year.

Lackluster support for a tournament!!!!

I recently played a tournament for the California *FIREFIGHTERS Olympics at Eagle Ridge. The overall course conditions were fair, some of the fairways were a little more beat up than others, but the greens were in good condition and fast. The off course amenities unfortunately were handled badly. When you are hosting a tournament and you have 150 *FIREFIGHTERS or anybody for that matter showing up at 8 AM and the course was well aware of this tournament months in advance. , You would think that they would be prepared for the crowd of people early in the morning. The bathroom conditions were poorly handled only one or two bathrooms available with stalls to accommodate all these gentlemen. The morning food situation was poor and that’s been kind. The snack shack had no danishes, pastries breakfast burritos, anything of the sort ready for all the gentlemen getting ready to tee off at 8 AM You had to buy your own range balls they were not supplied to the participants even a small bucket would’ve been a complementary item. There was not a drink cart at all on the golf course for 5 1/2 hours. My overall opinion of Eagle Ridge is it the course is fair, but the off course amenities are subpar and I would not recommend this course or any group of people to use this as a tournaments facility unless you were guaranteed of certain amenities. It is unfortunate because the course is not that bad. I hope they can work on this for future events.

Nice layout watch out for hidden $9 fee

Beautiful course. Nice challenging layout. Greens kinda I’m rough shape right now. Watch out for golf now fine print that says eagle ridge will charge $9 resource fee per player. Although your golf now receipt will show $0 due at course. So thought I was getting a good deal when in reality I was paying regular price.

Maintenance Fee

First time ever at a course we were charged $9 per player a course maintenance fee on top of green fees (similar to a restaurant). We found that odd.

Bumpy Greens

If I can make a suggestion to improve the condition of the greens. Put Large Neon Signs on the back side of Every Green to Remind ALL GOLFERS TO REPAIR ANY DIVOTS ON THE GREENS. Even if there not yours. It was ridiculous to see how many divot marks were on most of the greens. Some Golfers are So Inconsiderate about repairing their own divots. Six of my putts were knocked off line because of them. It’s only common courtesy. Other than that it was a Beautiful Day

Poor condition of the course

This was a beautiful course but, a close friend was visiting from Oregon and wanted to play golf. I bragged so much about Eagle Ridge, how beautiful and tuff the course was. Then we start playing and the once beautiful tee boxes had 10 inch weeds growing out of the ground. The fairways had bare spots and the sand traps that ended up in, didn’t have sand. There was maintenance people working on the course that we had to yell at to move and protect yourself because we were going to hit our balls. No Marshall on the course, because the group behind us kept hitting into us even though we were waiting for the group in front of us. And to top it off they charged an extra $9.00 for some sort of maintenance fee, go figure.
