The Course
A round of golf at Eagle Crest offers some great golf holes beginning with the first hole, a 454-yard, par 5. The hole is open and has a gentle slope downhill and to the left. Ponds on each side of the front guard the green. The 183-yard, par 3, 8th hole is still the signature hole of the course. It has a small contoured green on a hill with a huge pond between the tee and the green. Be careful that the wildlife doesn't distract what's already a difficult shot. Finish your front nine on the 580-yard, par 5 to the new 6000 square foot green built into numerous mounds.  The front nine is fairly open with some water, sand traps and a few trees, along with large bent-grass sand based greens being implemented.

The back nine holes revolve around many small ponds leading to a lake on the southern end of the property. The 15th Hole is a 407 yard Par 4 with the tee elevated 60 feet above a pond and the forward tee.  Before you leave this tee, take a moment to enjoy the view of the surrounding countryside.  Large oak trees guard both sides of the fairway which dog legs right up the hill to a large green. Finish your last few holes with some challenge, like the 300 yard, par 4, 16th hole, which dog-legs left and has a large pine tree in the fairway to protect from short cuts. On your approach shot to a large green with the lake in the background, you will have to concentrate fully on the shot at hand. A good score at Eagle Crest is achievable, but one must stay focused throughout your round.
