OK time flies. It has been 7 years since I played here last. (Why? – maybe traffic coming home).
Played this morning in 3 H. We took advantage of the weekend Sr deal ($29).
Greens were punched on 8/9 of this month and are still healing. Some of them are better than others and those had good putting speed, but I think at least another week? But overall, they were all playable. We found the tee boxes all clean and playable. No issues with any fairways, as they had roll out and great lies, all round. In one trap and no issues and heard none from others. Did not find much rough, but there are enough OB areas to compensate, should you get way off the fairway.
Customer service was excellent at all levels. Glad to revisit here, as I totally enjoyed the course and the layout. Recommended and we will be going back, before 7 years, for sure.

First thank you everyone that came out to be a part of the GK Cup 12 Final and those that participated this year! Also want to thank Eagle Glen Golf Club for hosting our GK Cup Final. I always felt it would make for a fun championship due to its challenging layout, awesome closing holes and excellent clubhouse which includes a restaurant overlooking the property. Worked out great.
I was in the last the group, the finals group, teeing off at 11:00am. They were running a little behind and we teed up closer to 11:15am. Pace of play was slow as they had a full tee sheet Sunday morning. But wait, it was Ryder Cup Sunday, oh yeah, it was over when everyone woke up, so let’s go golfing!
I thought the golf course was in very good condition. End of September can be a challenging time to find a well-conditioned golf course in Southern California due to many in maintenance, prepping for maintenance or dried out from the summer heat. So given Eagle Glen aerated their greens in the beginning of September, I was confident they would be healed and I was right. With exception to the very first hole, as I had the same feelings as Itslikeimsayin’s review, the remainder of the greens were rolling moderately fast, mostly smooth and holding shots. The rest of the golf course played mostly firm, was light green, had occasional light brown/thin turf, yet overall provided a good surface to play from. I was only in a few bunkers and they were well groomed with quality sand.
After the round we got together in the restaurant to celebrate HmtGolfGuy’s GK Cup victory. I could not help seeing the patty melt Itslikeimsayin was about to dive into (there I go again referencing Mark’s review, feel like such a copy-cat! – lol) so I ordered it, super good tasty. Seemed they only had one, maybe two staff working the bar/restaurant so service was slow however professional. I’ve ate here before and always enjoy the food. If it was not so hot Sunday I would have liked to be out on the balcony looking over the course, its good dining experience.
Thank you again to everyone that came out!
btw – was also a very special day for me, please see my Pebble Beach forum post 🙂

Made the trek down to Eagle Glen for the GK CUP final. I had three agenda’s for making this trip.
Begin Lobbying for GK Cup 13 Final to be held in Northern California (hopefully bribing JohnnyGK with a round at Pebble Beach helped)!!!
Enforce dress code violations and award style points as the official GK fashion police (sorry Johnny but Perry got the nod with the matching shirt, shoe laces and hat)
And most importantly enjoy a bit of golf with some great, no scratch that, fantastic bunch of GK’ers.
This is my first time playing Eagle Glen and I must say it’s a super fun layout. Lot’s of elevation changes and like Nickesquire said, the front nine is mainly target golf with several holes demanding less than driver off the tee.
Condition wise the course was decent all around. Nothing spectacular but nothing horrible either. The first few greens were bumpy but then they smoothed out. Greens were soft and very receptive to approach shots. I never had an issue with a lie in the fairway but a couple of the tee boxes were trashed.
I avoided the bunkers all day so I’ll let Roarksown1 give a report on the sand traps.
This course is gorgeous! I loved it. Pace of Play was 3 hours for my friend and I.
Tee boxes were in good shape, fairways were beautiful and smooth, greens were perfect and rough was clean and even. Sand traps were pretty fluffy but some were compact. Staff was friendly and kind, saw several grounds keepers working.
This is my favorite course in Corona. I think its much better than eagle glen given the price. $45.00 for a Friday morning is a good deal. They could easily get $60.00 for it.
Played in a GK Cup match with AndrewZ28 on Sunday, 4/15/18. His recent review is very informative and hits all the major points. (Click HERE to view our previous reviews.)Day started warm and sunny, but clouds and wind rolled in just after noon and the afternoon was cooler and blustery. First tee was slammed and we started 25 minutes late, then overall pace was 4:40. We didn’t feel pushed by the group behind, but endemic poor shots resulted in not catching the group ahead.
Greens were generally good with some scattered thin areas, but mostly receptive. All greens had scattered old and newer marks. Downhill putts toward the east, away from the hills, could be terrifyingly fast. Fairways were thin and tight and very firm, and more often than not a solid drive would not be rewarded with a good lie. Rough along fairways was short, dry and pretty benign; around the greens it could be a little bushier. Tees were OK, but most par-3s didn’t have divot mix containers. I was in one bunker – greenside #10 had only a thin sand layer over a packed base.
A rumored marshal was never seen. The divot mix refill rack at the 10th green was empty, as it has been every time I play here. All holes had lots of unfilled divots in fairways and rough. Cart girl came around a few times. The golf shop had noticeably less merchandise than on my last visit. A new trailer snack bar has been placed on the 2nd/11th tees, providing convenience but also increasing noise on those nearby tees.
I enjoy the layout at EG and conditions here are generally good. Today I seemed to find every slopey lie and uneven stance, but that was mostly due to poor ball-striking. Still recommended.
Played on 4/1 Easter morning at 7:30 as a single. Course was pretty much empty except for a threesome I passed on hole 5. POP was a very relaxed 3:15. I haven’t played here in a couple of years and was looking forward to the round. There must have been an outing the afternoon before as there were some Styrofoam ice chests in the parking lot along with empty 12 pack boxes and numerous plastic cups. Staff was very friendly and got me out right away.
The Review
Tee Boxes – most were badly needing a good mowing. A few holes when teeing up for a 3 wood, the ball was still sitting sitting down in the grass. Tee boxes are level.
Fairways – Looks like they have punched the fairways and in the slots where the punching is done the grass is longer than a normal fairway, but still very playable. the non punched areas the ball sits nicely.
Greens – In perfect shape, was a blast putting on them. a little fast and holding well struck shots. A few divot marks here and there, but I have a feeling it’s from the same guys that left the trash in the parking lot. Too bad they are punching them this week, because of how great of shape they are in. There was puddling on several greens on the front nine, but the flags were not placed even close to those spots.
Rough – non-existent, just a slight bit longer than the fairway.

Bunkers – the two that I was in had excellent sand. I did notice on trap, back left on nine looked like dirt and I’m not sure if it gets much play anyways. The front right bunker on 16 had a tremendous amount of sand in it. I noticed that one of the racks only the handle could be seen, so I placed my putting into the trap and with no pressure it sunk down about three inches. The trap was not very well racked, but I have a feeling its just too difficult to rake a trap that is that soft. They could have just added the sand and are still working on getting it set.
Overall I had a great time and enjoyed the course. Look forward to going back after the greens heal.

Stopped by Thursday to have my clubs re-gripped.
At the time the course allowed walking only but decided to go out Friday. The course drained well. I could not even hear water as you drove on the rough or along the fairway. There were areas roped off for water but personally, I never had to take a casual water drop. Greens were smooth. They were as you would expect speed-wise, fast downhill and slow uphill.
Weather was a nice bonus and the sky was clear. It was just a nice day for golf.

Played today with Itslikeimsayin- thank you Mark, for sharing that great deal. Wow, it was windy today! It was quite a challenge locating the balls among all the leaves and debris in the fairways. Mark summed up the conditions well, so I’ll just add a couple of comments. I was happy to see that all the vegetation has been cleared out of the ditch on #6. Just being dirt and some mud, it was much easier to get out of. #5 still has a temporary green and there was a crew doing quite a bit of work on #9. I was in the rough many times, but the ball sat up well and some of my best shots were from that nice cushion. This is a fun course and pretty long from the forward tees with a par 73. Despite the wind, I did well and look forward to playing there again.
Why Did We Expand the Regions?
It’s simple. Greenskeeper.org has been growing. We expanded the number of regions because golfers like you have reported about golf course conditions in more places you play. In short golfers come to us if they want informative, relevant golf course reviews and it’s all due to your, our GK Community’s, diligence. You let us know your experiences and well if we hear about it everyone else does too.
Why so Many Regions?
Golf is an experience and every experience is unique. Different golf courses offer different experiences. What we look for in golf course reviews offers a little insight into every golf course we play. Not just one point of view but many, and by providing many different points of view you get a clearer picture of what each golf course has to offer. To that end we felt it necessary to provide regions with their own highlighted golf course. Local players can enjoy the fact there is a great facility they can play just around their corner. Golfers looking to experience new golf courses can play these and experience first-hand these unique golf experiences. Put simply, we allow not just your high-end. daily fee courses to shine but the local municipal as well. They all deserve a fair shot and they all deserve to shine.
Look for additional Golf Course highlights from our Worth the Green Fee for 2016.
