Eagle Landing Golf Club

On Monday 20 Feb I played Eagle Landing for the first time. Nice course which was in good shape for the most part. Unique layout in that it had very few straight holes and holes dog legged to the left rather than the right. Which if you are right handed and not used to drawing the ball it will present significant challenges. It was almost an hour drive from the house. The rate for 18 with cart on a holiday was definitively reasonable. But the lengthy commute to and from will keep me from playing the course on a regular basis. But I am glad I tried the course.

Condition of the course was good. It is transitioning so you have some grass and some dormant. The greens were very good and rolled true. IMO the price was a little high, $111.00 for 2 of us and that did NOT include any range balls, food or drink. Pace of play was good. Fella behind the counter never spoke or even offered a "have a good round", nothing. Starter was equally rude, "got a receipt? Start on 10". Girl in the beverage cart was very nice. They had plenty of golfers there so I suppose a friendly demeanor and a good price are not necessary. Suppose I will continue to spend my money elsewhere

I don't play much in Florida, this is probably my 3rd round in the state. Course was mostly level, not a lot of hills and mounds. Greens were really nice, rolled well, but not much break. Most putts you hit straight at the hole. Really nice bar in the clubhouse. Best of all I left my rangefinder behind, called the next day and they have it waiting for me. I always appreciate honest people. I read some reviews about the pace of play. We were a foursome with one in front and one behind us. We finished in just under 4.5 hours on a Saturday. Not sure I could have asked for more than that.

There is NOT a better public accessible course in NE Florida. If you’re not playing here, I’m sorry! Best conditions, best staff, best bar atmosphere!

This IS the place!

90+ dollars and the greens haven’t been cut in months
No range balls before an am tee time
Rough

Greens were pure and quick, course is in phenomenal condition.

Course conditions were good, staff was very friendly, the starters exceptionally so.

Had the tee time at 11:40 and we got there at 11. Hit a small bucket of balls between the 4 of us and roll up to check in with starter at 11:25. Starter says we are going at 11:30 instead and we oblige. We get to the green on 1 and some elderly gentlemen were playing from the greens tees quickly after us and hitting up on us. We let them play through on 3 just so we aren’t rushed and the Marshall was there on hole 3 patching divots on the tee box. We explain the situation and he says it’s fine. Little did we know his boss and his friends were playing behind the group that we let play through. The boss continues to call the front to complain about us when we are right behind the elderly group. Marshall circles back and says he is getting stick from the boss who is now playing behind us and didn’t allow us the customary 5 minutes at the turn. Boss continues to call in and if you are an ambassador for golf at your course and whining about one group playing through you need to grow up. I brought out of state family here to experience my city of Jacksonville and enjoy a round of golf at a great course and instead I got a manager whining about us when we gave the club over 500$ on the day between the round for 4 people, $344 (with one rental and drinks for the round) and we are right behind the elderly group that we let play through. Take a breath and let go of your ego

I have played Eagle Landing many many times. Always looks good. Always well kept. Always a pleasure. Green smooth and true. Fairways great. Tee boxes great. Bunkers well kept. Eagle stays ahead of issues before they get out of control. Doing a little re-sodding and the fringes of 18 ect.
