Service charge

Need a marshal to expedite pace of play, food is the worst, and the 9$ “service charge” on every player is a joke and a scam.

Eagle ridge

Fairways were very ugly. Multiple different types of grasses. Uneven mowing. Greens had powa that was much taller than the bent grass.

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.

Hidden Charges!

Course charge and addition $9 "resource fee per person on top of the pre-paid Golf Now green fees. Shady practice by Eagle Ridge to gouge more money from golfers. Bar closed at 4:00 PM to support a wedding party.

Rewards program not with the money

The less than "FAIR" course conditions do not warrant me paying an additional $10 a round. Plus increased green fees. Rewards program also dropped range balls as a benefit.. New owner is trying to get players to pay for refurbishing course

In need of some TLC again

I enjoy playing this course, always a challenge. However, it seems that the upkeep is hit and miss. Also, even with the Hot Deal, there is an additional $9 fee . Not sure why they just don’t include it in the price.

Something has changed
The course has not been taken care off. Dirt on fairways and crabgrass all over. I was told there is a new greenskeeper. But for now it is like a fancy cow pasture. Plus there is an extra 9$ fee at the course. I have never seen that.

Not worth the money

The course is in poor shape and is not worth the money. They are charging an extra $9 for some reason. I will not play here again. There are other nice courses near that charge far less.

Weeds Weeds Weeds

If you like weeds you will love this course. Weeds in the sand traps, weeds in the fairways and they even have weeds on the tee boxes. So disappointed. This used to be a great course but the conditions are horrible. Pluss they charge you a $9.00 booking fee.

Course improvements

Eagle ridge is a Great Track. Country setting, interesting looks and unique golf holes. But the course is getting away from the maintenance staff because of a wall to Wall green irrigation system. Reccomended that eagle ridge shrink their irrigation footprint and switch to a Desert, naturalist style Single line irrigation irrigation system. Eagle ridge will save water and encourage their maintenance staff to prioritize fairways and greens and NOT the peripherals of the property.

Great Round!

Has an 11:30 tee time, got there early and was able to go out by myself. Played the first 9 holes in 1.5 hrs. Back nine is tough but well worth it. I’ll be coming back for sure.

$9 fees at checkin !!

Course is in good shape but the $9 fee that they are charging you at checkin is a turnoff. I will not be coming back to play because of that alone
