EAGLE CHASE IS CLOSED FOR THE YEAR. Well not officially, there is a guy out there that will still take your money and let you get a golf cart. This is the worst golf course I think I ever played on. This golf course make the worst Carolina Trail course look like Pebble Beach. I went out there because somebody had reported it was a good wet weather course because it drained well. LIAR! I needed a canoe to get to #10 tee box. 90% of the sand traps were full of water. I actually lost a ball in a sand trap because the water was too deep to see it. The other 10% hardly had any sand in them. The greens were terrible. I could count the number of greens in okay to good condition on one hand. The fairways were the only thing is decent condition but because of the wet weather the farmer wasn’t able to bail the mowed grass. I would give them at least a couple of days for them to get it bailed up and hauled off the course. Cart paths are all rooted up, I hope you like hearing your clubs beat off each other because that noise don’t stop until the cart does. Did I mention the greens were horrible, well its worth mentioning again. Yeah big patches of grassless areas, nothing but dark dirt and white sand. They were also bumpy (go figure) It’s going to take a ton of good reviews by a bunch of different people before I even think about this course again. If you want to see for yourself be sure to save your receipt you can deduct it from your taxes as charity. I gave it one star for nice parking lot, plenty of empty spaces too.

This courses greens have seen better days. Because they are bent grass they do not survive the summer. Hopefully in my review i posted in july the new owners switch to the mini verde if not this great layout will disappear. It has always been this way the 10 years i have played this course. Great conditions in late fall (Oct) to early springbut who plays a lot of golf during the “cold” months. Hopefully they make the move. I for one have decided on Red Bridge for now.

I have generally enjoyed this course, but what I am quickly losing tolerance for is the cart paths. Worst I have ever seen. If I wanted to go to Carowinds I would as it is just 20 minutes away from my house as opposed to the trek out to Eagle Chase.
