This is hands down my favorite golf course in the area. It's a real shame the OWNER doesn't seem to care for the course or members as much as the hardworking staff and greenskeepers do.!! It's hard for the staff to work with such poor equipment. You would think the owner would invest more into the course instead of asking for more out of the course while straggling it to death in the process BUT... Superintendent Tom deserves a special shoutout--he goes above and beyond managing not only the maintenance side of things but also helps out in the pro shop, juggling everything thrown his way from what we witnessed that day. We played here during a tournament this week. While the course does have a few rough patches, overall it's a really fun and challenging layout. The greens are recuperating quite nicely from aerification work done. The experience was mostly great, with one unfortunate exception. We had a run-in with one of the greenskeepers--an older woman in a club cart who came flying down the path right as we were about to tee off. She jumped the curb in front of us without any regard for what was happening on the tee box. We tried to flag her down, but she responded with an angry fist gesture and kept going. We later found out from the group ahead of us that they had a similar experience with her. ( hole #14 ) It was disappointing to see such a lack of golf etiquette, especially from someone working on the course. A little respect for the players would go a long way. Hopefully, management addresses this behavior--either through training or reconsidering her role. Despite that one incident, every other greenskeeper was professional and respectful ( turning off machines or waiting for play ) we had a lovely time and are already looking forward to our next round here! read more

Geez this place is a dump. Not maintained at all. Bare spots, standing water, tee boxes and green fringe is full of tall crabgrass. Horrible!!! And the insult to injury is $118 for greens fee and cart. Wouldn't come back for half of that. Driving range is also total trash. Threadbare mats that are ripped. Embarrassing! Worst course I may have ever played. And the course looks nothing like the web site. Online it looked like a nice course and was excited to play it, but was a total let down when we got there. AWFUL!!! read more

I have always loved this difficult layout but it is getting worse and worse as far as condition. The tee boxes and fairways are full of weeds and big bare spots of dirt. The greens are getting brown spots now. Its a shame to see this challenging course go down the tubes.... read more

Eagle Ridge golf course continues to go downhill. Overheard someone on the range say something to the effect that management does not seem to care to do anything as there are not enough complaints. Overpriced and your average muni is in better condition. Range is mats only and has been for over a year. But they don't bother to replace the range balls so most barely fly or are cut. Maybe you will get lucky and see a Kirkland Signature in your bucket with "practice" on it. How cheap can you get stamping lost balls. If you want a lesson how not to run a golf course, this is your place. Homeowners must be not upset enough to care or maybe management ignores them too. Go to San Juan Oaks instead, worth the drive. Eagle Ridge is better off closed. read more

DO NOT PLAY HERE!! This course USED to be fairly decent but is now one of the BIGGEST dumps in the area for us golfers. Save your money and play somewhere else. 1 STAR ALL AROUND read more

Had high hopes with this course, pictures and location looked super nice however was super disappointed when I got there. The range is Aweful with beat up mats, physically destroyed and dirt caked balls. The course itself is in terrible condition, bald dirt spots litter every fairway, tee boxes uneven covered in weeds and flowers, greens have rotted spots all through out. Could be a fun and difficult track but with the condition it was just not worth the money. read more

Well, well, I got to tell you that from the beginning of planning to end of our wedding day, Eagle Ridge staff was amazing, and every single person did the extra to make sure we had the best memories ever and I can tell you that they couldn't have done better, I wish I knew their names to mention them here. The food was outstanding, the drinks, music and every vendor that they work with was outstanding. Thanks everyone at Eagle Ridge. read more

Beautiful view but food was terrible. Fish was cold and undercooked. Burger mediocre. Poor menu choices.

Trashy course. Some holes had no fairway that was mowed at all. Weeds were all over the place. The bunkers were in good shape, hence the 1 star. Poses as an elite course requiring collared shirts and no jeans. I saw a lady with short shorts and a tank top. Bathrooms are old and dirty. I expected a Cinnabar level course. This is way worse than any municipal course I have played at. Save your money. read more

Just played today, 12/21/24. The fairways are ROUGH. It looks like there hasn't been greens keepers around. Many areas with no grass at all, dead grass and apparent drainage issues. The greens are okay but a lot of divot marks and dead spots, probably due to lack of divot repairs. Great scenery and location but the course needs some work to change $115 on a weekend. read more

A friend of mine lives in the area so we used to frequent this place a lot, but not so much anymore. The course is not as well maintained as it used to be and the staff are not as friendly. read more

one of my favorite course designs. the fairways were mostly great today, lots of improved tee boxes and the greens have shape and creativity most courses dream of. staff is phenomenal as well, always feel welcome around this place. read more

Challenging back nine with beautiful views overlooking the South Bay. Entire track has a great range of sand, distance and undulated lies, that you can count on it to be challenging for the most skilled players of the game. Good luck and thank you Eagle ridge staff and all of the team for the opportunity to play here. JG read more

Trash for $85. Horrible greens. Dead and brown spots in the middle of fairways. All sand traps are ground under repair. Super muddy everywhere as it seems they watered for 2 days straight. Seems like they have no groundskeeper that knows anything about grass, water, or sand. read more

What a bummer. For being one of the hardest courses within reasonable reach of Santa Cruz County, some rough situations. Greens were pure, but yikes. I'm glad they put 900k or whatever to add sand to the bunkers, but maybe spend some time in the tee boxes at least? read more

Great golf course! Was maintained very well, in great shape. Would have given 5 stars if the guy at the pro shop was friendlier. I guess it's pretty rare to find someone these days that actually looks like they love their job and are friendly. read more

Eagle Ridge has so much potential but between management and the greenskeeper they can't seem to figure out how to run a golf course. The restaurant and bar is closed. The PA system has been on full blast for years with a short that send out nothing but static. The superintendent has an attitude and can't keep a crew so he end up working 7 days a week and can give a crap less if you're putting for birdie while running the leaf blower. Tee time are wide open on a Friday for a reason. This place sucks read more

Just played here yesterday and WOW this course has turned to complete trash. It looks like all the grounds crew left months ago, with the exception of raked bunkers. Very disappointing . Will not be coming back unless they want to charge what it's really worth. read more

Not worth the 100 dollars. Tee area with high weeds. Greens had weeds on a few holes. Made those holes terrible to play on. Some fringe areas had weeds two feet tall. Just terrible maintenance on the course. read more

Wow! The golf course is in great shape and Manager Jack seems to understand how to run a course. Recent rain has the course in great shape and new superintendent Tom is doing all he can to fix drainage issues. Food service employees are friendly but with limited food options. Wedgwood runs the bar and food/bev. Be prepared to sit outside if they have a wedding or function. No heaters either so bundle up. read more

This course is great. Jason at the pro shop was very friendly. Josh at the bar made really great drinks for my buddies and I. Overall course was in really great shape and I really enjoyed my round. read more

On a recent trip I stopped in to play Eagle Ridge in Gilroy. The reviews were accurate, the bunkers were in terrible condition and as stated in a review they forewarn you as you head out. They suggest playing them as ground under repair or play it as it lies. Outside of the bunkers this is a nice course. It starts out kind of docile but through the day you need to have some game on a few of the holes. The greens were in great condition and rolled true. All in all, the warnings of the bunkers is true, my advice...stay out of them! I would definitely make the trip from the east bay to play this again. I have to mention the staff, very friendly throughout the day. read more

This course hasn't gotten the attention and work that it has so badly needed. Instead I'll be told to make sure the cart is in before sundown, or listen to the front desk argue with another customer. Best way to explain the course is it's extremely tough and unfair, whereas San Juan Oaks is extremely tough, and always fair. read more

Place was nice, we checked in a bit early and were greeted by the pro shop staff. He was helpful as this was our first time here and gave us some helpful tips. Fairways we're nice and greens were clean and bit fast. Would definitely be back price was fair course was nice even though 2 holes were being worked on which let us know they keep up with the maintenance. read more

Attended a wedding here and it was beautiful. Very clean and pretty with excellent service provided. The food was very good- tender meats & tasty. The wild turkeys running around were fun to watch. Clearly, We didn't golf so I can't comment on that. read more

DO NOT PLAY THIS COURSE! They are not putting a penny into the grounds. All bunkers are ground under repair with a jungle of foliage growing out of them. The lake on hole 11 is covered in algae. What used to be my favorite track in this area is now basically unplayable. Golf shop says the owners just don't care and won't put the money into it, so I won't waste mine on them. read more

The course is in horrible condition. 99% of Bunkers are ground under repair. Paid $57 per player with a coupon and feel like we still paid too much. This use to be one of my favorite courses. read more

Food options were very good and what we got was fine. The bartender was a little rude when asking questions about the drinks they could make. Dining area looked good at first but when taking a closer look, there's cobwebs in the corners and dirty and worn down floors. Maybe I'd come back if I was hungry but not likely read more

Over the years I have played this course and in all honesty it kicked my butt big time. After having spent more time on my game and dropping my handicap, it has been much easier. However the bunkers are in poor shape and the fairways aren't too bad. The greens are fast when the dry out and have plenty of undulations. For $40 from golfmoose coupon it is an excellent bargain. Seniors (55 and older) get 50% off. The 8th hole still kicks my butt but I have trust my game to beat it. If some money is spent on fixing the issues on the course, the course will be amazing. read more

paid $100+ to get followed and constantly questioned by a marshal. Finally left us alone after 10 holes. If you have more than 3 people dont even come. read more

I was a little apprehensive driving an hour and a half to play this course after reading all negative reviews. I was pleasantly surprised. The staff was friendly. Good driving range hitting off grass. The tee boxes were good, fairways a little dry but hey it's summer. Greens were fast and true. Bunkers were the only negative. I was told that they will be redone in September. The scenery was awesome. Deer and quail everywhere. I'll be back to play. read more

Very disappointing for a supposedly upscale course. Conditions were mediocre to terrible. Knee-high weeds on some tee boxes, lots of dry dirt / mud patches in the fairways. Greens were the worst, they haven't seen a ball mark repair tool in a year. I give it two stars because the pro shop / cart people were great. For the money this place charges they need to be a lot better. A lot. read more

This review is for the golf course. I notice there are a lot of spring and summer wedding in this venue. I agree, it is a beautiful golf course. I consider this is my favorite golf course, also my home course. This course is very well maintained. The fairway and rough are trim all the time. The rough is somewhat not forgiving which presents a challenge. Usually we don't see any bald spots like a muni course. They actually have made the course easier in the last 2 years by eliminating some bunkers in the course. Overall the layout of course is challenging, yet there are rewarding holes. The greens are fast and lots of undulation. read more

We attended a wedding here. ...hella far even coming from san jose because its by 152 through gilroy and up the hills ...but the drive in to this community is nice and scenic. Place is kinda small. You walk thru the doors to a hallway that leads to a small bare area. The bar area is loungy and offers an outside patii with a panoramic view of tgeir golf course which is nice. Their venue room has an odd layout. Thru the doors is a space that literally splits into a 'Y' form ...so on either side not only is it hard to see around the corner, the layout bring a segregated feel. Decor needs an update also. Very classic and out of date. Overall: for what this place offers, a simple wedding is doable ...a birthday gala, any party. And for that ...i am in! U work with what u got and there is potential here. The grounds are nice ...-scenery is good! Location is far but it works for some read more

course was in okay shape, but layout is not my style. too many tricked up holes (e.g., driving uphill through a narrow chute, trees in play in the middle of the fairway). greens were okay. clubhouse is nice read more

Played here once before, it was in way better condition than it is now. We booked our tee times in advance for 830. We show up and check in. While checking in, we are told that at 10 AM there is a tournament going out starting on hole 11 through hole 1. We are also told that if we play fast enough to play through hole 11, we will be kicked off the course. Now wait a minute... three of us are standing there listening to this from the guy in the pro shop. The guy then proceeds to tell us that we will also have a tournament teeing off immediately behind us. We have him repeat what he just said to make sure we heard him right. One person in our group says we shouldn't be at 11 until after they tee off. Another says we will just play slower. We end up on hole 9 as the pro shop announces the 5 minute call for the tournament to go out to 11. So the course is in terrible shape, the restroom/ locker rooms are a joke. No lights had been turned on. Rude staff. There were some sand traps that were to be played and some that were under repair. The bunkers were bad. No picture of the course on the card and no picture of the holes at the tee box. When we finished the round, we were told to get off our carts so that they could recycle them for the players coming out. Worst thing is that the battery could die and leave a player stranded. Even though the location wasn't bad. It still was not a great course. read more

The course is in horrible condition for the price. Green seem to not have be maintained correctly ariation. Muddy patches lots of dry patches , one whole all 4 tees on same blank area. Poor poor maintenance. Worse course I've played all year unfortunately it was for my birthday. read more

I'm happy to see this course is getting the attention it has needed for quite some time. The bunker renovation is complete on the front nine and it has made a world of difference. The fairways are in decent shape and the greens are quick as ever. I'm excited to play again after the back nine bunker renovation is complete sometime this summer. read more

Man, what happened here? Been playing here since 2000--wasn't my favorite place but you could always count on a challenge and great conditions. These days? Not so much. They tell you up front that the bunkers are gone. They are universally terrible, just a big unplayable eyesore throughout. Take them up on their offer to play them as GUR. What they don't tell you is that many of the fairways have grass issues, as well as several of the greens. As currently presented, Eagle Ridge isn't worth $40. But they charge double. Buyer beware. read more
