Designed by Ron Garl and Gary Koch, the Forest Course at The Eagles Golf Club features the signature island-green sixth hole which rivals the famous 17th hole at the TPC at Sawgrass. The two outstanding championship courses at The Eagles Golf Club are kept in "tournament condition" year-round. As its name implies, much of Forest course winds through an impressive pine forest.

It's a beautiful design, the fairways and teeboxes are in good shape, but most of the greens were in rough shape - bare spots, crabgrass, areas of some sort of fungal infection. Pretty disappointing. No rakes for the Sandtraps, esp fairway bunkers.

Overbooked

3 foursomes had tee times within 12 minutes of each other. Lead to a long round, lots of waiting, luckily it was a beautiful day.

Great Course Greens Could Use Some Greens Work

Course was beautiful and well layed out. I did think if there are any complaints at all, that I was a little disappointed in the quality of the greens. Grass was very patchy and inconsistent. For that reason I think the price was a little high compared to others I have played while here on vacation.

Lots of fairways and greens in bad shape

Was overcharged for my round $10. Didn’t realize until I looked at my confirmation email. Almost every hole had many unplayable areas fairway to green. Had to lift and move on several greens to avoid bad spots in my line. Never saw a cart person for refreshments. Definitely was not worth the $70 per person I paid to play here.

Nice Layout but.....

I was a single and booked a 1035 tee time. I got there at 10 and bought a bucket of balls. The starter was working as hard as he could, but it seemed like they were just handing out tee times whether they were available or not. No exaggeration, there were about 12 - 15 carts lined up on the first tee on the Forest course. I got paired with a 3some with a 1055 tee time. We didn't tee off until 1145. We were told that once we tee'd off, we'd get moving along, but we were waiting on every hole which made it about a 5.5 hr round plus the 1.5 hour wait. That's unacceptable. Such a shame, too, cause its a nice course. I won't be going there again.

Decent Course, Unbelievably Slow Pace

I think this was my last round at the Eagles - solid courses and a good price, but this is the third time in a row I have played and have not been close to starting on time.

Had a 1:07 tee time. Didn't get a golf cart until , and didn't tee off until 2:15, and only finished 16 holes until we had to go in at 6:30. Seems like they booked WAY too many tee times and don't have the capability to serve that many people. Will stay away from now on until it gets a little less crowded. Worth it to pay more for a better experience somewhere else. Just a bummer to wait 15-20 minutes at every hole.

Nice setting, poor maintenance

This Forest course is a much better scenic journey than the Lakes. We aren’t looking for a top notch golf experience for $64 but the tee boxes and greens were more in the sub-$20 level. I was impressed by the staff and the snack cart and ranger. They were all friendly and personable.

Good recreational golf course

The course was nice to play for an afternoon 9 hole recreational round. Average difficulty and some holes were challenged with rough fairways and greens. We had a nice time.

Great course; Excellent value

Had a great time playing this course. Really nice layout, and I would play again. Front nine was slow, but once we were able to play through. the back nine moved along without issue.

18 carts on first tee at tee time

18 carts were in front of my group of two at our tee time. Over an hour wait to tee off past tee time. Horrible. Same deal with no “fog delay,” enjoy a six and a half hour round. Either the tee times need to be more spread out or management needs to clean their operation up. Either way this place makes for a painful afternoon of golf. Don’t waste a beautiful day being frustrated!

Course is fine but issues

Waited over an hour for a cart and then played over a 5hr round. They need to do a better job of spreading out tee times and having enough carts. Seems to be a recurring issue
