It had been a while since I had been out to Eagle Glen. My buddy booked a 10 AM tee time on Saturday for $100, so I figured it was worth a shot. I remember the layout being awesome here, and that still rings true. They have removed the driving range and are building pickleball courts (WHY!!!!!), but they do have a couple of hitting nets and a small putting green that has way too much slope compared to the course. The starter was very funny and seemed to enjoy his job, but we did tee off 20 minutes late. I knew the POP was going to be bad, and I was not wrong. Total POP 5:15.

As for the conditions, it's a mixed bag right now. The Fairways look almost dormant, but it's far too late in the season for that, so maybe dead? Some patches look like they tried to put down new sod but those were brown as well. I do like tight lies, but there are too many divots and old punch marks in the fairways leading to weird lies. The rough was the same, but just a little longer grass. The Sand trap that I was in was great with nice sand. I did hear from my playing partners that a few were not that great. The Tee boxes were mostly ok, but a few need to be leveled. The highlight of the course is the greens, which ran smoothly and true at a medium pace. They allowed good spin/check on well-hit shots and just played great.

As previously mentioned, the layout is a lot of fun, but they need to put some money into the fairways instead of demolishing the driving range for pickleball courts. At $100, it's not a great value for the conditions; however, the scenic value is there. I would recommend playing with a good deal, but plan with caution due to slow POP and fairway conditions.
