Nice surprise! Nice layout and for the most part in good shape. Greens had been punched maybe a couple weeks ago so they were almost back.

I should have heeded the negative reviews but we wanted a warm up round after traveling and the most recent reviews said the rain was helping. The only thing that will help this course is an infusion of money, expert care and time.

Positives: friendly staff, decent (very slow) greens
Negatives: everything else. Poor, uneven tee boxes. Dirt fairways (see pictures).Tree roots in bunkers.

I wish them luck but even half off a Hot Deal would not get me back there.

Very enjoyable round on Sugar Mountain. In great shape, interesting par 64 layout with amazing views!

Enjoyed our round. Course was in good shape except fro bunkers which rock hard. (recent rains may have contributed or kept maintenance from happening)

Never played before but we enjoyed the round. Greens were in great shape, a little slow. Overall, conditions were good though tee boxes could use some attention along with cart paths. Very friendly
Pro shop check in.

Always enjoy playing here, it’s an interesting layout. Staff was friendly and pace of play was decent. We did notice that most tee boxes were in poor condition, not much grass and a lot of slipping. Greens should be better in a week or two.

Played twilight in just under 4 hours with a 4some. Great value.

The two nines were very different. Front 9 seemed like a standard resort course, back 9 more interesting though some holes seemed gimmicky. Overall, enjoyed the round but prefer Robber's Row. Staff are some of the friendliest you'll ever encounter. Great clubhouse and restaurant.

Great staff and clubhouse. Greens were slow and fuzzy and pace of play was slow. Other than that, interesting course layout and very enjoyable.

Just like other reviews, Eagle Crest is a great design in need of some extra cash. I wouldn’t say it needs TLC, it’s obvious from the great greens conditions that it’s getting care, it just needs more water on the fairways. Don’t know if their water is restricted or it’s budget but that’s all it really needs. If they could get the fairways more playable, this could be a gem!

After being closed a short period, this course is coming back nicely with new management. Greens were slow but running smoothly. Friendly staff, a very enjoyable round.

First time playing here and my wife and I were impressed. A great variety of types of holes along with beautiful, rolling hills scenery. Tee boxes, fairways and greens were in good shape despite recents downpours. Play it!

Really enjoy the layout. Staff is friendly. Course was in good shape, although the greens were slow.

Had read other reviews that talked about this course being unforgiving and not fun, I concur. The course was in good condition, friendly staff, etc. But besides the normal Dye elevated greens with run off collection areas, the greens themselves made for a frustrating round. They were rock hard and wouldn’t hold approach shots. An example was a 187 yard par 3. My towering 5 iron hit 15 yards short of the middle pin, took a high bounce and ran through the green, off the back and into a collection area about 30 yards past the pin. No one in our group could keep their shot on the green. You couldn’t “run it up” because the green is elevated. Found a number of holes were like that. Are these new greens that will soften up in a year? If not, I’ll pass next time.

The Springs was in great shape (with the exception of a few tee boxes) and the greens were rolling true! Hard to find a better value in South Florida, plus there is so much history here at Miami’s first golf course. Very friendly staff and food in the bar was good.

North Shore is in great condition for a course that gets lots of play. Staff very friendly as always.

New management is spending money to bring this Arnold Palmer classic back into shape. Greens were in decent shape, beautiful new sand going into all traps. Great layout, friendly staff and minimal damage from the hurricane. In fact, part of the damage was an improvement! That giant tree on 18 is gone!

Ventura is always in great shape and was when we played, even though work was being done. All bunkers are getting fresh and brilliantly white sand. New sod and temporary sprinklers were a result of this work on most green side traps. Didn't effect play much and will be great very soon.

Great course, always in perfect shape, with a friendly staff. Play it!

Worth all the hype. The greens are rolling beautifully. But they are tricky to read and the course has plenty of out of bounds to deal with. Nice track!
