Description

This scenic course is hidden among the farms in Union County. No houses or other civilization to intrude on your round. Just golf. Plays like a mountain course, with an elevated tee or green on almost every hole. The greens were redone in Diamond Zoysia grass in 2013 and are some of the best in the area. A bunker renovation and much needed cart path re-paving were completed in spring 2022. The staff is very accommodating and I have never had a bad experience here.

B-Man's Take

This course is a well-kept secret since it is a good 45-60 minute drive from uptown Charlotte. It annually ranks as one of the best courses in the Charlotte area as featured in my Top 10 list. It is a fun course to play with the hills and elevated tees. The zoysia greens are usually immaculate. Water comes into play on the first 3 holes and 7 of 18 overall. My favorite holes are #6 (189yd par 3 with elevated tee and pond on the right) and #13 (332yd par 4 with pond on the right). My definite hell-hole on this course is #2 - a 412yd par 4 with an elevated tee looking down on a narrow fairway with water on both sides. I would pay $5 extra to play here if I could right down par and skip this hole every time. I try to make it out to Eagle Chase a few times a year. It is affordable and kept in great shape.

  "Great course"

  Course is in great shape. It's a hike from Charlotte, but well worth the drive. Quiet surroundings, very good pace of play. Tee Boxes 7 out of 10. Fairways 8-10. Greens 9-10. Bunkers 10-10

  "Best of the best"

  The course is in nice shape. They’ve aerated recently, but used the small homes. They’ve come back enough that there was much of an issue. Otherwise the course is fantastic.

  As always the course is in fantastic shape. From tee to green no issues. They’ve done many improvements on the course. I absolutely recommend this course.

  "Great course"

  You’re not going to find better greens in February. Fairways showed signs of green grass. They’ve done a fantastic job of clearing sone trees. Definitely worth the time to play this course. It’s tough but fair.

  biggest thing is to take an extra club or 2 on certain holes. on #4 1 extra, #5 2 extra to the middle, #6 go with your gut its all downhill it does play it's true yardage, #9 one extra from the fairway, #11 go for the green in 2, #15 2 extra, 17 1 extra if u end up by the drain on the right. played this past fri and greens were quick. don't over think it focus on speed. the practice green reflects the course greens which is very rare.

  Eagle Chase will be redoing their greens in April. Changing to some type of zoysia, which supposedly does well in heat, requires little watering, grows in both shade and sun. They will be softening the contours of 4 greens - 2,3,12, and 14. Supposedly the whole process will take only 32 days. Now if they could only do something with the cart paths...

  I received a quick reply from Wally Moore, the general manager, and he simply said "We are not closing."

  I have heard an unconfirmed rumor that Eagle Chase will be closing. I hope this isn't true as it would be a total shame to see this happen. Does anyone know if this is a truth or not?

  few spots here and there on the greens but did not effect the putts at all (pins were away from the trouble spots anyway). fairways brown (normal this time of year) rough medium height but you could find your ball. first time back since early june when the greens started to go. well worth the trip now especially with clickit $25 deal. shot 78 so no real complaints here.
