Decent course. Over time it keeps getting better. More grass all around (then there was) and the greens are in good shape. Its a good layout but for the 3 (of 4) par 3s playing 165+. Playing longer with the ever present wind! (From the white tees). I play there often as its a good deal and not hard to get a tee time.
If you are a legit golfer, your money will be better spent at another course. Ive never seen so much standing water on a golf course in my entire life. Even though Naples has not seen much rain this season, the course was still flooded beyond belief. The drainage system here may have been installed by blind men with dyslexia. Cart path only rules applied, but damage to the fairway still occurred simply by walking. Upon completion of 18 holes, I told a staff member this course needs demolished so they can start from scratch. If you are a weekend hack, I guess you can give this course a shot. If you are playing here in the summer, under no circumstances should you arrive at this course without extra strength mosquito spray. Ive never been anywhere on planet earth that had the number of mosquitoes as did at this golf course. For this review, Im giving two stars instead of one only because I played so well. My current mood as a result of my stellar performance wont allow me to rate it any lower, even though the overall condition of the course absolutely warrants it.
Great experience. Staff, especially Freddy were fantastic and helpful. Price was right and it was well maintained. Started on time. It was an all around great experience. We will definitely be back!!
Played it on the 20th May 2018. There is a lot of crab grass. Fairways arent maintained well. The surrounding is not in good shape as well. A lot of maintenance ongoing. Carts run on gas.Restrooms are really odd.Driving range at the entrance, far away from the course (Water range)Staff was nice.With some more effort, that could get a good course. The layout is nice.HCP 21- 36 can play white.Black goes for 10 - 20 HCP.
I never submit reviews, but after seeing some leech to our society has submitted 5- 1star reviews within an hour with made up names, quite catchy names(head of marketing, Abercrombie, etc)It’s pretty simple to see what a joke this is, but anyway I really enjoy this place while I’m down every February and March, the staff has become like family to me And just wanted to do my part to help cancel out the previous leech!
Front nine absolutely awful, tee boxes not mowed, bare spots in fairways, greens full of pock marks, sand traps not enough sand. Back 9 slightly better.
Great golf course, challenging but fair, greens are in excellent shape. Definitely recommend and can’t wait to tee it up again.
Great layout, good course conditions, and excellent value...staff was extremely friendly and helpful.Best value in town!
Great layout, good conditions, best value in Naples. The staff was extremely nice and helpful.
February 28 2020Like the layout and has the potential to be a very nice course. Unfortunately, the greens are terrible! Patchy and inconsistent, not maintained very well. Fairways also weren’t as lush as I was hoping for. Would not golf here again for the price.
Very nice course and staff
Great value in Naples, love the wildlife and very friendly staff.
The staff was great, course has a really good layout and conditions were above average with the greens and tee boxes being really good!Great value in expensive Naples market.
Easy to find off US41 in Naples. Friendly & courteous staff who got us started on time. Course has a variety of fairways that are either flat or have undulating bumps/hills. Water hazards can be found on a majority of the holes but do not make the course difficult. Greens were one of the fastest that I have played on & the dry fairways allowed the ball roll more than I was used to. Had a fun round & will be back to play again.
Always fun, great staff, greens rolling well
Great course and club house!
Excellent staff and lots of wildlife, really enjoyed this place.
Great value in expensive Naples area. Staff was great!
One of the best courses in Florida!
Took our children to play a quick nine holes while on vacation. Brooks in the pro shop was excellent. Gladdy in the snack cart was the best. So friendly and made us feel at home. The last hole however was anything but...Yelling and screaming by the grounds crew. We truly felt they wanted to fight. Wish i thought to get their names. So sad.
Nice course challenging layout course management is key when you play this track. Pay attention to the holes and yardage.
Great staff, very welcoming. Course was in good shape, great greens and tees with average fairways. Best value in an expensive Naples market.
Nasty place. The driving range will be your first clue. Fairways are weeds. Greens pretty much burnt grass and sand. Terribly neglected course.
Great overall experience, Best value in Naples!
Save your money! This place is a dump. No grass, playing on mud, and totally not taken care of.
Great place, great people, great value!
Simple and uninspiring layout. Condition of fairways and greens (especially) like a poorly funded muni. Def not worth $110+. More like a $40 round.
Greens are the only good thing about this course. Fairways are riddled with weeds and crabgrass. Bunker edgings are sloppy and rough. Tee boxes are a mixed bag. The worst part was the marshall who asked us to pick up our pace on the 14th hole. Now, granted we were behind the group ahead of us. However, we finished eighteen in 3:35 as a FOURSOME. When we suggested that we were easily on pace he was rude in return. He obviously has no clue on how to determine pace of play (i.e. LOOK AT YOUR WATCH!) I vacation here annually and next year will begin spending a month in town. I will NEVER spend another dollar at this place.
Played 2/25/19 I was surprised by the horrible condition the fairways were in for the priceThis is a $38-$40 course in that shapePlayed Arrowhead,Riverwood,Valencia and Panther Run all head and shoulders better than this place all at roughly the same price. Feel sorry for the staff. Get it together you don’t even have a range thats worth a darn on top of eveything.
I had a very bad experience at Eagle Lakes today. I booked a tee time for two on Friday, January 31st for this Monday, February 3rd.This morning when my wife woke up, she had the stomach flu and was unable to play. They have a 24 hour cancellation policy and when I arrived at the course for my 11:30 tee time, I was told to get credit, I had to cancel 24 hours in advance. When I explained to them that I did not know until that morning that she was unable to play, they told be they would work something out and I should come see them when I finished my round.When I went into to talk to them about it, they acted like they had the perfect solution. They were going to give me a 9 hole credit, even though they had charged me for two rounds of 18. And they were happy to inform me that I could use this 9 hole credit anytime I wanted after 2:32 PM. When I pointed out that there would be no way to complete 18 holes, they said I could just play as many holes as I could get in before dark!I would not recommend this course to anyone as their policies are very punitive and lack any sensitivity to customer service. I would have been pleased with just the 9 hole credit had I been able to use it at a reasonable time of day.Please avoid this course, and never book it on line where you give them your credit card number. Your rights will be violated should you have a medical situation which you can not control.
Played a couple rounds down here again on 10/24/13 and 10/25/13 and have noticed much improvement than the past year. I was told there is a new sup. and they are putting a lot more time, money, and effort into the course and it has already started to show. The fairways and tees were in great shape, but the biggest difference was in the greens and rough. They re-sodded a couple of greens and verticut and overall were rolling much much better than in the past. It looks like they have also replaced and worked on the patchy uneven lies and weeds in the rough. You can already tell the course is back on the right track. I played a couple of rounds from different tees and enjoyed each one. From the back, I tee, it is a real challenge and brings a lot of danger into play, especially on the back 9. The course plays completely different from the II tees, transforming into a shot-making course with distance control a priority. Apart from the golf it is also a great wildlife course, seeing a variety of birds, fish and turtles, as well as at least a half dozen gators and bald eagles! Im now more excited to come back instead of it simply being convenient.
My cart ran out of gas on hole 5 and it took 10 plus minutes for a replacement to be driven only 300 yards from the clubhouse. I was only told it happens
Exactly what I expected. Got a great deal since I am Naples resident but overall having played many local courses seems like a pretty good deal regardless. Got a lot of rain for several days prior so there were a couple of soft spots. Vegetation and trees seem young but course is beautiful. The layout and length of play is right on. Lost a club on the course but the guys playing behind us brought it into the bar where we were watching the race and cooling down. Had a good time for my money.
Golf course is below average with lots of crab grass and beyond dry conditions. As for the staff, bag drop was self serve and on the 2nd hole we were told that our 2 year old wasnt allowed on the course due to liability concerns from the owner. As someone who travels the country weekly and plays a variety of courses, dont waste your time here for the $65 price tag. Id rather play a miniature golf course.
The fairway grass is thin. It feels like hitting in sandy grass instead of lush fairway. It is windy if there is the slightest breeze because of the wide open nature of the surrounding landscape.The staff is nice but not very flexible. Once you book it they will charge you even if you have a reason why they shouldnt charge you. I would not recommend this course for golf reasons and for customer service shortfalls.
Absolutely love this course! I took a few of my friends out and we had a great time. Very courteous staff. We will be back for some more playing time.
One of the best public course values in the Naples, Marco Island area. Very easy to get to from Marco Island, not a whole lot of public options in the area. Look out for gators, several out in February this year when I was there.
Yes, 24-hour cancellation policy is tough and most courses will not give you much in terms of credit and you read the fine print beforehand. However, they offer GolfNow deals at times and I was in Marco Island on vacation this week and played 2 rounds (tee times of 7:20 and 7:28 am). Got each round done in about 3 hours, course was in better shape than some describe here - its not perfect but youre not paying $150/round. With low season, found deals for $14 and $16 (plus taxes/fees of $2+ each time). Carts have GPS, ice water available at the turn, and 5 tees to choose from. Played middle tees and course played right around 6,000 yards. Water comes into play at almost every hole making it challenging. Never took out the driver and played with 4-iron for my drives and most greens (other than couple par 5s) are reachable in 2 even if you dont hit the driver too well. Would definitely recommend and will be my course of choice next time Im back in Naples/Marco Island area.
Play this course a lot and have no issues with the course or staff however I do have an issue witth the gentleman who saw fit to give them a poor rating because of the issue with his 2 year old. For some clarification I was the one that complained about the children on the course. You neglected to add that you also had someone with you pushing a stroller on the course with an infant in it. I for one did not want to be the golfer with an errant ball that hits a baby. You need to complain tell the whole story 1star parent rating.
Cool layout, fun course. Cold beer, good food and friendly workers. Im gonna come back
Friendly staff I was a single they took good care me Ill be back for sure
Looks good in pictures but far from it!!! weeds every where, all the lakes are over grown the greens are bumpy and inconsistent. THE SUPERINTENDENT SHOULD BE ASHAMED! only going down hill!The employees smoke marijuana in the cart room!Total lack of structure i wish the owners could see what they have invested inSam Berkin is the food and beverage manager! read his review he posted below this one! WHAT A LIAR!
Had problems with start time, but the course has been very accommodating after we discussed our concerns.
STAY FAR AWAY FROM THIS COURSE!!!This has to be the worse Golf Course in Naples Fl. Not only does the course lack the luster that one would expect to find in Naples, the attitude of the manager was just as bad. We live in North Naples and we had a 9:06 tee time. So we left very early to drive the 30 miles to get there early enough to hit some balls before the tee off. When we got there I told the manager that I had a 9:06 under Mendez. As soon as I gave him my last name his whole attitude changed. He then told me that the price would be $69.00 plus tax. I told him that I was told it would be $49.00 for Florida residents. He then said, in a very condescending way well how am I suppose to know you are a Florida resident am I suppose to read your mind? I looked at him and said, are you kidding? He said No! next time have your drivers licence out before you come in.I look at my brother and then back at him and requested my Credit card back. He threw it down on the counter and I told him what the heck is your problem? I told him he was very rude and unprofessional. His response Whatever. He didnt care! I told him that maybe this is why they have no customers. He told me that they were book solid for the rest of the season. Sure didnt look like that from the empty parking lot.We left to get our bags that were already on the golf cart. When we went to tell the workers there that we need our bags because their Manager was an jerk. One of the guys were very apologetic. as we were leaving the manager then come out of the building and threaten to call the sheriff on us if we did not leave the premises. I KID YOU NOT!!! THIS GUY IS A RACISTS YOU KNOW WHAT!!!He said he was the Manager.I told him to go ahead call the sheriff I have an email with my tee time for 9:06 AM at this place. What are they going to do? I would like to know how he would explain to the sheriff that we are trespassing when we have an email conformation for Eagle Lakes at 9:06 AM?????STAY AWAY FROM THIS COURSE!!! IT IS NOT WORTH IT!!!Save your money! This place is way over priced and the course is not worth it. You will past plenty of BETTER golf courses just trying to get here. Go to where they will accept you and respect you.
All around great experience. Played last week, never had any inkling that this staff was rude or racist... Not sure what this guy below is talking about. Either way some people are just rediculous.... As for the course, in fantastic shape, too bad they closed for maintenance because I want to be playing there right now. Badass bar and TV setup too! Ill be back for sure!!!!! Thanks Elgc
Bad fairways and worse greens. It seems that water from hazards could be pumped onto the course to grow some decent grass.
Dog track but lots of alligators
Absolutely atrocious
Great course awesome staff
