Eagle Ridge Golf Club
Played On 01/06/2019Solid Course
3rd time playing Eagle Ridge. Good value for the price. Course was still fairly wet, and as a result, cart path only which slowed things a bit.
No range balls available and no beverage cart. This happened on my previous trips as well -- really don't understand that, but seems to be the norm.
Overall, solid course with some interesting holes, especially on the back 9.
Eagle Ridge Golf Club
Played On 07/15/2018Good layout, but rough condition.
Eagle Ridge is a good course with quite a bit of potential. The course was in pretty rough shape, but given the heat and lack of rain, not much they can really do. The greens were punched about a month prior to our round, but they were still noticeably in tough shape. Again, not much they can do with the current weather.
Staff was very friendly, including both the pro-shop and bar/restaurant area.
Range was in very bad shape -- no grass and pretty much 1 out of every 3 range balls was cut or almost in two pieces. No beverage cart which was regrettable since it was so hot. Also, no ranger which caused play to be quite slow. In fact, our twosome joined with a threesome in front on hole #13 and still had to wait pretty much on every shot.
Overall, it is a good course whose condition is suffering like many other courses. That said, there are things in their control which can be improved to enhance the round.
Cape Fear National at Brunswick Forest
Played On 04/21/2018Good, challenging course.
Very good, challenging golf course. The greens were really firm but putted true. Very windy due to the site of the course, which combined with the firmness, made holding greens very difficult. Overall, really fun and fair test of golf.
Pace of play not great. Being a tough course, that complicates things, but there was no ranger and the front 9 took almost 3 hours with four groups regularly on the same hole.
Staff could use some improvement. Charged our group a cart fee for an individual who suffered a broken ankle between reservation booking and day of play. Understand that, but was disappointing as we had called earlier in the week and they said it would be no problem for him to have a cart. No beverage cart on course which was unfortunate given the slowness of play. Called the pro-shop to ask and they said “if we see her, we’ll let you know.” Also, placed an order for burgers ($13 each, WOW!) on hole 8 for the turn. Arrived and the staffer said, we didn’t receive the order and “what do you want me to do, it’s human error.”
The course is definitely worth a try, but don’t expect much from a staff/hospitality side. Seemed very indifferent which was frustrating given the price of golf and food/etc.
Thank you for the great feedback John! We love hearing from you and are glad you had a good experience. We would love the opportunity to bump those 4 stars to 5. We hope you will come back soon so we can WOW you on your next visit. Until then, take care!
