I have been playing eagle Glen the last few years and last week was the best the greens have ever been in my opinion. Little nervous as putting green was aerified but rest of greens were not. They were very firm and very quick, something I would expect at a tour course. The price is very reasonable and the grounds team does an excellent job of making the place look nice. They were out during my round working and I could see they are trying to improve the course. The greens were perfect. There is alot of play and the course was packed so I expect ball marks and lots of divots when a course gets busy. The fwys are very tight and give your ball lots of roll which helps as the course can play very very long in the wind. I love playing on these greens and will be back again in a few days. I play golf on average 200 plus times a year and the majority of rounds are here. Great job eagle Glen you guys are bringing the course back!

This review is for my round played on Friday 4/14. I have played this course many times, and I always enjoy the layout and fantastic scenery. I typically always recommend playing here.

This particular round was probably my most challenging experience, for a variety of reasons.

1) The practice green was closed prior to our tee time, even though there didn't appear to be a reason for the closure (it was open when we returned after our round was over). Not a huge deal, but it would've been nice to get a feel for the greens prior to actually starting the round.
2) On the first tee, the group in front of us was waiting to hit their second shot. The starter proclaimed "go ahead guys, you can't reach them". Umm, sorry, they're ~260 out, downhill, of course we can reach them! We were taken aback by this comment. Sure enough, one of the drives landed right where they were a few moments prior. This rush off the first tee was pointless anyway, since the groups in front would be slow the entire rest of the round (4:40 total time 1 to 18!). The gps-controlled carts don't help things, when the group in front of you drives up to the green to retrieve their forgotten wedge, and then has to reverse back out slowly to get back to the approved area. I get the intent of this feature to protect the course, but it slows the rounds down when people don't know what they're doing.
3) The greens were very sandy, yet actually fairly quick. I'd imagine in another week or two, they'll be amazing. Providing you are able to get a feel for them prior to your round, they are quicker than they would appear, being covered in sand. This didn't come up in any maintenance alert either.
4) The bunkers were hit and miss. The few that I ended up in were in great shape, with tons of fluffy sand. I noticed a few others that were opposite of that. It's nice to see progress here. Historically, the bunkers haven't been the greatest, but they're getting better.

All of that aside, possibly my greatest complaint about the round - and I rarely have complaints here - were the fairways! They were simply awful in places, mud pits really. Be prepared to play winter rules in April. They're usually fantastic here, so I was rather surprised.

Overall, still a wonderful course, tons of fun, and the cart girls are the best in Socal.

Played Eagle Glen Friday 17 March. Had a 7:20 tee time and went out on time. The course is very green, tee boxes were good, fairways good, a little wet that early so we did not have much roll out, fairway bunker on #3 had really nice sand, the bunkers on the back none were terrible, luckily I was not in any bunkers on the back nine. Rough was non existant, Greens were hard and fast, did not have to fix many ball marks. POP was 4:21 and that is because of the 2 other groups in our 6 group tourny that we were behind and waited on every hole. I like this course because it makes you think on some holes instead of just taking driver and slamming it. I have stated before and I will state again, I HATE hole #2, they need to turn that into a par 3 and go 71 on the course. if not, they need to re slope the lower section and or remove one of the upper bunkers. $6 for a warm up bucket of balls was too expensive. IMHO. Service in the restaurant was great as usual.

Eagle Glen was in good shape with exceptional greens that are fast and roll true. Put on their greens is always fun and challaging.

It looks like Eagle Glen is in the process of adding new sand to some of the bunkers since some bunkers had new white sand.

Fairways were good shape with some tight lies in spots. The fairway shots rolled well.

My only complaint is the non-existant rough which is generally thin with numerous bare spots from a lack of watering in areas. I would hope that they would elect to over seed the rough and water it more so one day it could come back and be a real penalty for bad shots.

The aprons around the greens were dark green due to the extra watering. Therefore all balls landing short of the greens typically stayed short rather than getting of the extra roll like the fairway.

Overall a fun golf course with amazing views on the front 9 that eveyone should check out. Can't wait to come back.

Had a great time as part of the guru review group on a sunny, hot day in Corona (3/9/17) with Allan_Grant, Gary00 and zgolfinman (Bob). All good guys and straight-shooters down the middle of the fairways! I want to give a special shout out to Allan as my cartmate - he knows the course well, and as this was my first time playing at Eagle Glen, he gave me a number of useful 'caddy-like' tips on various holes - thanks Allan!

Checked in and was told to grab any cart. Hit a few balls on the nice grass range to warm up a bit. Guy in pro shop told me balls were at the range, but there was a sign at the range that said they were back up by the cart-return area??? Ended up 'borrowing' 15 balls from the instructor's bin of golf balls (sorry) for the sake of expediency.

Practice putting green was very slick/fast. The starter/marshal was great, gave us good tips/advice and told us the greens on the course were faster than the putting green. While they were fast, I think they were about the same speed that day. He wanted to get us out ahead of a small outing of 3-4 groups and did, thankfully. Nice guy.

Overall, I really liked the course layout and scenery. Played the blues today, but being a short-hitter, next time out I think I'll try the whites. Hit all seven fairways on the front, but due to a number of approach shots being moderately 'uphill' into the greens on the front side, that puts extra stress on that part of the game, adding one or two clubs to one's shots.

Tees were green and mostly level, but a small handful had unacceptably uneven stances, including downhill, sidehill, straddling a crown, etc. This needs to be fixed. 6/10

Fairways were good, light green fairly tight lies in spots. Rolled well, but my tee balls did not roll as much as others in the group (weakling). Agree with the previous reviews that there were too many unrepaired divots. Aprons around the greens were dark green due to extra watering and balls landing short of the greens typically stayed short rather than getting a beneficial hop. 6/10

Rough was generally thin, not penal, with a hodge-podge of choppy/clumpy grasses, and indeed numerous bare spots from a lack of watering in areas. 4/10

Sand wasn't bad at all, found it 3-4 times. Varied a little. A few were thin fluff on top of a firm base and the others were a good amount of fluffy sand, depending on which area of the traps you were in. 6/10

In spite of not putting very well the whole day, I thought the greens were a fantastic challenge. Looks like they were verticut recently, but cannot blame that on my troubles - missing shortish putts to the right all day - I think one needs to figure out which way the drainage goes on each green, similar to Black Gold rolling > Anaheim.

Greens were very green, smooth, fast to very-fast imho, and indeed, downhill putts rolled 8-16 feet past the hole in our group at times, and rolling onto the opposite-side fringe. They were firm, and moderately held shots. Greens are generally large, with challenging undulations on a number of them. My sort of fun!!! 8/10

We teed off a little early I think, and POP was at least 4hrs 30mins. We had to wait on a number of shots throughout the day. Very cheery cart girl was by 5 times or so, water jugs every few holes was welcome and necessary on this day! Suggest bringing at least one water bottle to always have on hand. By the time we got to the back nine in the valley, temps were sweltering.

Service in the bar/restaurant after the round was so-so, staff indifferent.

I do look forward to playing here again soon via a greenskeeper coupon deal, and definitely would recommend peeps to give it a try before it gets too hot!

Had a great time on 3/9 with some new (to me) GK'ers; allan, gary00 and leef2020 at a GK event on a beautiful sunny and warm day! First time here for me in 3-4 years, forgot what a challenging course this is; very hilly on the front and reasonably flat on the back.

Customer Service: friendly staff in the Pro shop, the starter (with tips on what T's to play) and the marshall with his advice to stay out of the brush as some snakes have been spotted.

Greens: smooth, very firm and medium to fast, very fast on the downhill putts!

Fairways: firm so the ball funneled to the low areas where there was lots of unfilled divots and NO sand in the cart's bottles. There were replacement bottles on the 10th T, all EMPTY! Some bare spot on the fairways.

Traps: only in one fairway trap, it was firm but playable.

Rough: playable with some bare areas.

POP: just over 4 hours.

Lots of water stations on the course, accurate GPS system on the carts and many visits by the beverage cart. Overall, a great day! Recommend to play if you get an opportunity!

3/9 with gurus allan_grant zgolfinman and leef2020 on a warm sunny pleasant day enjoying the setting and the company. Fairways tended to be on the dry and thin side with some bare areas marked GUR--lies were tight but acceptable--got a lot of extra roll which rewarded drives down the middle but punished those on the margins when on the hazard side. Some areas like #1 had many divots mostly not filled(bottles on the cart were nearly empty) No rough to speak of along fairways but some present closer to the greens. Bunkers were mixed --fairway bunker on #3 was appropriately firm made for a good out--right green side bunker #8--new sand mostly a fried egg lie which I hit heavy to give me a flat 2nd attempt out to 3 feet -1 putt bogey-and green side #15 about 25 yds from the back pin laying on a light dusting of sand over HARD sandy dirt--used PW and tried to punch it--did ok just a little long caught it clean just a little long over the back fringe. Tees pretty good overall adequate cover and mostly level, Greens quite smooth rolled well at medium fast to fast speeds--large greens with a fair mount of slope which was not always easy to read as the contour and the prevailing topography had to be considered--undulations here are less pronounced but are also a factor. The course is scenic set back in the canyons so there is a wild and remote feel--front 9 especially has a lot of up/down elevation changes with quite a few shots that have to carry the barrancas like #5 twice and the diabolical #16. Staff was very friendly and welcoming-saw the beverage cart 5 times and marshals 3 times. POP tad over 4 1/2--there's enough trouble available for a least 1 member of the group to struggle--not us of course but the 4somes ahead. Had a good time with the guys today.

Been hearing a lot of good things about Eagle Glen lately and I've always loved the course so I snatched a GN hot deal for $27 and was out there at 11am today paired with another single and a twosome all great guys to play with. It was really crowded for a mid-week round so POP was not ideal at just a tick under 5 hours. Disclaimer, I LOVE firm and fast courses so Eagle Glen has always been right in my wheelhouse. Perhaps the course has really greened up since last week but I found the fairways to be mostly green and pretty good cushion underneath. Perhaps around 85/15 green vs bare/hardpan areas. The rain has really brought the course back to life. Rough was not much of an issue and trending toward hardpan the further away you got from the fairways. Eagle Glen is in the process of adding new sand to the bunkers so the one I was in greeted me with a nice fried egg. Soft and fluffy in the bunkers with new sand. The older ones looked to be pretty firm and compacted. Tees are really lush and frankly, could use a mow. We started on #10 today as they had verticut the greens earlier in the morning but other than the visual effect, you would never know. As others have mentioned they are so nice right now! Fast, firm, lush, and basically perfect! If you hit a good putt, it's going in. Now the one and only downside to all this rain...all the ESA areas on the hillsides would spit your ball out easily during the drought years. Not anymore! If your ball goes into one of these areas, it's as good as gone! Gurus, y'all will have a great time tomorrow and hopefully the POP will be better for you folks! PSA for all GK'ers and especially the gurus tomorrow. DO NOT ENTER THE ESA AREAS! Saw a marshall today with 2 dead rattlesnakes in his cart. One was from #1 and the other I'm not sure. But apparently it's wakey wakey time already for those bad boys so be careful!

Had the opportunity to play the course this weekend as a last minute invite. Friendly staff and quick to get out to the first tee. Tees were overseeded and very lush/even. Fairways had some couple bare areas but mainly good lies. Bermuda grass facility so I do expect firmer conditions especially during this time. I've never seen so much green this early of the year on any Bermuda facility, huge plus. Highlight of the day were the greens. Fast and firm with a true roll. Very fun experience with beautiful views throughout the course. Will definitely be back during warmer months.
