Forest: 6712-72.8-125 6224-70.0-120 5622-67.5-112 4911-69.6-120 Lakes: 7089-74.7-132 6646-72.6-125 6278-72.5-121 5375-70.0-114 The Eagles is a "must-play golf course" on your visit to Tampa. Located just north of Tampa Bay Downs Race Track, The Eagles features two 18-hole golf courses surrounded by more than 30 lakes, ponds and canals. The Lakes course sports an abundance of water hazards, elevated greens and many fairway bunkers. Large oaks are scattered throughout this Ron Garl and Gary Koch design. The Forest Course features the signature island-green sixth hole which rivals the famous 17th hole at TPC Sawgrass. The greens were recently regrassed with Champion Ultradwarf Bermuda, the grass about which the PGA Tour players are raving. Visitors from the North have said, "They roll just like bent grass greens." These two outstanding championship courses are kept in tournament condition year round. The Eagles has all the amenities and ambiance of a private club: Lounge, canopied terrace and restaurant with panoramic views. The friendliest staff in the Tampa Bay area and great food to finish off your round are waiting for you at The Eagles. |

4/2/2009 - It's a nice course with a few doglegs you need to play more than once to figure out aiming points. It needs rain due to drought. The people are nice. Posted by Tim (Lexington, KY)
3/6/2009 - They always do a good job. We have been coming down for 5 years and have gone to the Eagles every year and have always been pleased. Posted by Tom (Frankfort, IL)
1/22/2009 - Not as plush as expected fairways and greens very hard. I would rate it a B- for Winter Florida golf. Posted by Dan (Bonita Spgs, FL).
11/20/2008 - This course has tight fairways and the houses/condos were too close to the course. Posted by Mark (Appleton, WI).
10/30/2008 - They had a tournament and rushed us, even though we had a reservation. Posted by James (St Petersburg, FL).
5/8/2008 - Very hard course. Tight fairways, sharp dog-legs on long par 4''s leave you with 200 plus to the green. Fairways not in the best shape. Greens were very nice. A good value course if you are not looking for spectacular, scenic day. Posted by Joe (Carnegie, PA).
5/2/2008 - Not in the best of shape but a difficult course when playing it for the first time. Very tight fairways. Posted by Joe (Whitby, Canada).
5/1/2008 - Loved the Lakes course. The Forest course is not good if you don't know the courses. Posted by Andrew (Reading, PA).
4/30/2008 - Reading the reviews we anticipated a well maintained track. The greens were excellent! Staff was extremely pleasant. The front nine of the Lakes course was pretty rough conditions. It seemed as if it had not yet been groomed for the year. The back nine played like a completely different course. While the conditions were much better than the front, we all felt the homes really crowded the fairways. You almost felt you were in the back yards. I would not recommend playing here. Facilities appeared very nice, but golf was not as pleasant. Posted by Steve.
4/17/2008 - Not what I would consider a destination golf course. Would not recommend this course. Posted by Richard (North Smithfield, RI).
4/17/2008 - Course was in good shape, water everywhere. Good buy for the money. Staff was helpful and courteous. Posted by Henry (Warrington, PA).
4/14/2008 - Very nice course, one of out two favorites. Posted by John (Saddle Brook, NJ).
3/27/2008 - Course was nice and had a great time! Posted by Chris (Mayfield Heights, Ohio).
3/24/2008 - Forest course was terrific. Lakes course was awful. It appeared they were doing minimal if any maintenance to the Lakes Course. Interestingly the Forest has more water than the Lakes!!! Posted by Thomas (Sturgeon Bay, WI).
3/20/2008 - Played both courses. Storms went through the night before so it was in need of clean up. Very windy which made several of the holes almost to the point of ridiculous! One comment from our group was some of the holes were a bit weird and you did not know which way you were headed! Still overall a good course but much prefer Westchase for example.
3/13/2008 - I played three other courses in the area and this was by far my least favorite. Very tight due to homes on both sides. I personally would not go back there and my group felt the same way. We found Westchase and much prefer it! Posted by David (Erie, PA).
3/12/2008 - Nice courses and challenging. Posted by Cary (Chicago, IL).
3/12/2008 - Well managed course in very good shape. It was as expected. Posted by Dan (Eureka, MO).
3/6/2008 - Nice improvements. Great restaurant and staff. Posted by Robert (Homewood, IL).
3/2/2008 - We played 36 holes at Eagles. We played both the Lakes and Forest courses. We enjoyed the Lakes course a little better. The staff was very helpful and accommodating. They were able to get us out earlier for our second 18 and we were able to beat the weather and complete the round. We were paired up with a couple of gentlemen from Indiana and we had a great time. Posted by Gary (North Chili, NY).
2/28/2008 - Played both courses, both which were challenging. The Forest course will always be remembered as one of the most beautiful courses visually I have ever played. Posted by Doug (Coloma, MI)
1/7/2008 - we say 3?star .
Posted by Takao (Battle Creek, MI)
12/28/2007 - Golf course was nice and worth the trip. Posted by Albert (Harshaw, WI).
12/13/2007 - Nice course to play but was not one I would play again. We were not thrilled about the layout of the 18 holes. Staff was pleasent. Posted by Richard (Feasterville Trvse, PA).
12/3/07 - Nice course but the fairways and tee boxes were in okay shape. I enjoyed the layout and pace of play. Posted by Chris (Louisville, KY).
11/24/07 - Course had some really interesting and tough holes, but really nice. Posted by Maurice (Commack, NY).
