Played eagle crest today 2/23 at 11. Highlight of the course were the greens, very smooth running fairly fast. Tee boxes, fairways, and rough were all hit and miss, a little patchy here and there but nothing too bad. Interesting layout, very narrow off the tee, not many bail out spots. I would return to play again for a rate around 30 dollars for twilight.

Played the last day of the year, had a golfnow deal that was getting ready to expire. Staff was great, very friendly. Course is coming back around to be in good shape. It really was in poor shape the last couple years, but looks like they are working on it and trying their best to get it back in good playable condition. Teeboxes are OK, they were level with divots but able to find some good spots to hit from. Fairways are mostly dormant with some green "dye" on them, but played well, had a bunch of good lies and nicely mown. Greens were on the verge of being perfect. Very firm and smooth, but held shots very well and putted great, definitely the highlight of the condition of the course, which is nice. Hope they continue to work on this course, because it has always been one of my favorites in the North County.

Too funny, guess I was right behind fellow gkeepers. Spot on with the review. Greens were pretty sweet, fairways ok, tee boxes were nice, especially my girlfriends, they were perfect on the red boxes. Blues were ok, they are putting in some new blue boxes which is gonna be awesome! number 4 will be way back and number 8 is already back farther but they have room to spare and are doing work on another tee box farther back, pretty cool. POP was deplorable, so we played the front twice, we were running about 20 mins behind to begin with so there wasn't any chance of finishing, especially with the guys in front of us hitting 3 balls each off the tee. LOL oh well, it's Christmas and it was a beautiful day in So Cal to play golf. We got paired up with a great couple, Dean and Carole thanks you guys rocked. Staff rocked, love the course and think it will soon come around to be as good as it once was years ago.

Played with sixpez & rudyclub and a friendly single who we hopefully encouraged to check out GK. Starter began the day on a bad note by telling us that they were running right on time when we arrived, but then he didn't let us tee off until 25 minutes past our tee time. Courses take note: Tee times running late is annoying enough, but being lied to about it makes it exponentially more frustrating.

I feel like the course is in two different conditions right now. Visually, it looks terrible. The greens are the only green part of the course and the rest looks like it's been covered in snow or something – patchy dormant grass all over. That said, it plays pretty well. There weren't too many times that I felt I had a bad lie or that the dormant conditions adversely affected play. The tee boxes were pretty beat up and several had some uneven spots. I was in a few bunkers; one was great and the others were decent. The greens were good for the most part and pretty quick.

Played here this afternoon with GKers rudyclub, Itslikeimsayin and a single they paired with us at the course. Used a GN Deal Caddy voucher that was $40 for two players. $20 is a great deal for this course. Our tee time was 11:52, but we teed off about 25 minutes late and the on-course pace was slow going, so we barely finished in the dark around 5:10. The course was definitely in winter condition. Not pretty, but playable. The greens were very good, so that helped make up for the fairways and rough, which weren't too great. Fairways dormant, brown and thin and rough very patchy/thin, as well. Most tee boxes pretty nice, but the par-3s were quite chewed up. I was in only one bunker. It was a fairway bunker and the consistency was good for a fairway bunker. I've always been a fan of the layout here. Nice scenery and interesting design. It's been several years, so it was fun to revisit the course. I always forget how challenging the layout is. A lot of very uncomfortable/tight tee shots from the blue tees with lots of trouble to get into. Most holes have OB one side and red-staked hazards on the other, so not much room for error when you miss fairways. I do think if they changed some of the OB areas to ESA laterals, it would help pace of play.

Greens were not as great as last time. They were very receptive but were running at a medium pace at best and I noticed quite a few putts wonder off line. Over all course is in good shape

Played 11/10 9 am pop 4:15 $49 The course is in over all 'good' to 'very good' condition. The fairway's here have never been lush (to my experience) and I wouldn't call them lush now, but they were in good to great shape in most places with an occasional burnt or hard patch mixed in. T boxes were mostly fine and the traps were their normal horrible. The greens... wow... Fantastic. Eagle Crest normally has good to very good greens and today, they were the best I've seen in a long time. Very receptive, rolled true and fast to med/fast speed. My favorite conditions. These were something you would expect in Palm Springs area. This course can get soggy when it rains, so now is a great time to stop by if you haven't in a while. It felt like spring time golf today.

I just love this course layout, but geez, the conditions right now are pretty bad, but it looks like they're working on it so think positive. Tee boxes were awful, had to play from the whites, cuz they seem to be working on the back tees, overseeding everywhere, wet, etc. but oh well, you're using a tee so could be worse. fairways decent, rough ok, greens were iffy. Some had really sick parts and patches, but they were rolling fairly true with decent pace and consistent speed. I hope everything will get worked out within a few weeks to a month. POP was acceptable, slow at first, but marsh was on point and got the snails moving, thanks Tom. we used a golfnow dealcaddy thing and I couldn't print it out so had to use my girlfriends phone to retrieve my email and that took forever, but the proshop guy was very patient(cuz he's a golfer and a fine man) and waited for me to figure it out and still accepted my voucher, think his name was Brian; and I got a $10 hat to boot! All and all a great day with my girlfriend, who almost had a couple pars, and a father son combo who were cool. One of my favorite layouts and looks like they will get it back in shape soon.

My first time here and a nice course. Course is very narrow so don't go wild hitting driver on every hole. Greens were smooth and consistent with speed and bunkers did have sand. Good course but the 90 min drive will be a hindrance to drive.
