I’ve always liked this course but...

Just a few issues. We were told to go off 10. Totally through us off.
Carts need to have GPS.
Other than that I really have always liked this course.

Nice course but lots of rain the night before

I said first time playing the course but I actually played about 40 years ago I believe. Course is nice staff is awesome. Had a lot of rain the night before so Cary path only but it be greens we’re in great shape. Some water in some traps and some wet areas on most holes. It was super windy too. Played from the blues So conditions made it a little long for many of the 430 par 4’s. I’d definitely play here again. It’s a good value too.

Great fun

Great course for the price. Good conditions. Staff is great and I had a coffee and breakfast sandwich that was out of this world for $7 which included potatoes which were awesome.

Love the course greens are a little rough

I absolutely love the course layout and undulating fairways and greens.
Many greens a little spotty meaning bare spots.
We hit a wall on the back around 14 in terms of speed of play.
I could play here every day.

Don't expect a smile if you came through golfnow

I've played the North Course at Eagle Ridge more than 30 times over the years as part of a package, as a property owner and now through golfnow. The reason I used golfnow was because the regular rates and even property owner rates are a little steep for the course. C'mon, no bent grass tees or fairways. The General has those and the rates are even higher though

I have always loved the North course more than the South. It's fair but still tough.

Worst part is we get there about 50 minutes early since we had a nice breakfast at the Inn. We pull up and the greeter who takes our clubs says are you the 11:15 time. We say yes how did you know? Because there aren't any other players between now and 11:15 and not too many the rest of the day.

We figure let's check in, putt around and get off a little early. Maybe we can rent a boat after golf on the lake.
Nope. We are promptly told that they cannot check us in until 11am since we are from golfnow. But I'm a property owner how about that. Nope.

While I'm waiting a twosome finishes 9 and is on their way to 10 when the golfer jokes with the starter " having a good time?" The starter says " well you are a little behind the time we'd like to see for the front nine." Wow.

Hey are we having fun at our job? If not, quit. There's no one on the course. I swear I saw this twosome and a single all day and when we were driving back to my house I saw a few groups on the course.

You really need to A) Like your customers and accommodate them. If I booked through golfnow I'm still a customer and potential customer. I decided to buy a place out there after playing the courses. They treated people much differently and prices were more in line with other courses not 135 miles from home 18 years ago.
B) Lower the price for everyone and twilight is 3pm not 4pm almost everywhere else. If you have more golfers you will increase revenue even at lower prices. You will also increase merchandise and food and drink sales. This isn't rocket science.
