Eagle Ridge Golf Club

Decent layout, greens in good condition, fairways a little worn but ok. Played at 12:30 on a holiday for $34 and was worth that. Anything above $45 is not.

The course conditions were above average. The course has lots of slopes so choose your shots wisely. The greens were not super fast, but not slow. Friendly clubhouse staff and bar staff. If you have a mishit, you will likely have a blind approach shot.

Tee boxes are in shambles. Why wear out the whole thing and not maintain? These courses are busy and I get that. If you're gong to be teeing off out of a sandbox, why not leaving the markers in one wore out spot and work on the rest of it? No, let the entire things get obliterated. Greens are full of weeds. Riverwood is the same. I've never seen these courses this bad. What are they doing?

If you haven't played ER for a while, you should note that they appear to have altered the distances for each tee markers in the last 4 years. Two of us in our group who hadn't played there in a few years found that the blue tees were FAR longer than they used to be, and it appears that several of the previous blue tee boxes were now whites. This made several of the holes either unreachable or pretty close to it, including 1, 3, 5, 9, 12, and 18. The problem is that the white tees are less than 6000 yards, so you feel like you have to play the blues until you realize how much difference that actually makes. Please consider adding combo tees. The course was in fine shape for this time of year (beginning to green up), and the greens were very fast and smooth. Careful when getting above the hole! The course staff was great (except the virtually unresponsive drink cart girl). One request.... Please add more holes on the putting green. Three isn't enough. This might be a seasonal thing as the greens are just starting to grow in, but there were several people having to share holes.

One of the best I've played, and relatively low price. Take note: there are some winding streams/hazards that cut through just about every other fairway, so if you can't get the ball in the air you may not like it! Quite chilly too.

Eagle Ridge is a nice course with plenty of holes that can challenge you. March in NC is always iffy so temp was nice but grass was still dormant but not too muddy. Bring your driver A game, you will need it to score well on this course.

The last few Monday's that I have gone out have taken more than 4.5 hrs for just 2 players. There is no course marshal to keep the pace of play steady. Have waited behind a group of 2 who was behind a group of 3, The threesome was severely delaying the round for no obvious reason.

They were hitting from the Yellow tee, the twosome ahead played form white, and my twosome played form blue. My group teed off 20 minutes after the twosome ahead of us and we didn't even see them for the first 8 holes. The on the 9th, we hit the wall. We ended up waiting 10-15 minutes per shot from the 9th hole to the 18th.

Needless to say, neither my group nor the twosome ahead of us was happy. Sadly, the twosome ahead didn't invite us to join them so we ended up watching every one of their tee shots form the 10th hole on.

Whatever happened to course courtesy and marshalling?

We played on Feb so the grass was brown and the fairways firm. Lots of blind hazards. It would be nice at the tee box if they could indicate how far the first hazard was (creek). Not a good course for a high handicapper if you want to build any confidence but otherwise a very fine course.

Course is running fast with the grass being dormant. Greens are in perfect shape and my biggest thing is that the bunkers be in good shape and they are better than good. The staff is awesome and the value for what you get is phenomenal.

Nice front nine. Back 9 with some strange holes. Local knowledge is key. As a female golfer, I had several uphill tee shots and the long par 3 (?16) was too long. I had to hit driver! I am not a long hitter, but that is a first time I needed driver on a par 3!

Course conditions are great and pace of play was under 4 hours on a holiday (New Year Day). Overall enjoyable and great value.
