Unique holes with some challenging tees making the experience enjoyable and well worth it!

Terrible greens & fairways, I called day before & was told course was in normal condition, it looked like water was off over a week & they were in the middle of Scalping. Not happy at all, then we had one cart break down, the replacer they brought out wouldn't run, stay away, no one is doing any upkeep at this golf course. It's on remote control. It's in horrible condition. read more

Good course often has a lot of discounts and usually not overly busy. They have done a lot of work on the grass to make it better and the work has been showing. Wishing they would use the drink carts they have on site they just sit there and all staff says they are not busy enough to have a drink carts going around. They are sticklers for rules the ranger will keep an eye on you most of your round. The course is not beginner friendly but offers a good challenge to average players. read more

While golfing here several weeks ago we had an issue, discussed issue with Jason McKinnie and he agreed to make the situation right. I couldn't be happier with the great customer service and timely resolution of the matter. When visiting Arizona again I'll gladly play here again. Thank you again Jason for your help and going above and beyond. Sincerely, Jeremy Morley read more

Played here last week and found it very enjoyable. The staff is excellent and the area is clean I had read negative reviews but came to judge for myself. The fairways are green and the putting greens are well tended to. One of the negative reviews pertained to the cart paths, some were not in great shape but that's ok with me. The paths are for getting from tee to green so perfect paths are not necessary I will definitely be going back, hopefully weekly read more

This place doesn't repair clubs...they can barely run a horrible course. U start out on a cart path then they disappear. The sand traps are cement. U can spend the same amount of money and play better courses, like next door at the Traditions...good luck read more

The old pictures on these old reviews do not do this course justice. This is a great little course with some fun holes. Great rates for this time of year read more

I went there before we went they had greens with leafs inside and it was awful service is not to bad the prices are not good

The good people at Great Eagle were splendid all around. Let's start with the golf... the course is better than expected and the reviews (played in January) made not excited but it was way better than expected. Fair price for this time of year. I liked it better than their neighbors Arizona Traditions but both are very playable. Now let's talk about the service at the bar grill... they hosted us to have a good time on Sunday watching football in one of the best spots out there post golf. TVs galore. I ended up leaving my range finder on the cart and the sweet lady in the golf shop took care of me and was able to get it the next day! Thank you!! read more

Sh#tty golf course and crap bar food a true afternoon of horror at Great Eagle. These few 5-star reviews are clearly fake reviews.

Absolutely unacceptable. Booked on Golf Now, no alerts. Got to the No 1. Tee box and got skipped by folks that I'd started on 10. When we asked about the shotgun start, starter said they had 80 golfers and had to do it. EIGHTY golfers requires a shotgun start??! says WE can't tee of on ten, no reason, just nope. Call the clubhouse, they call the starter and say we can start on ten. Ok, we're off! Let me say that there is a farm course in my hometown in Ohio that puts this place to shame. It's like they aren't even trying any longer. Clearly haven't watered anywhere (see photos). Hitting the fairway is actually detrimental to your game here. This place should just shut the course down and keep the bar open, clearly they don't give a about course upkeep. I say it every time, let's give it another shot, it'll get better. Nope, never again. It's shame because the layout at this course is very well thought out. I'd be better off just hitting random balls in the white tanks, they wouldn't give me attitude and charge me 40 bucks either. read more

My grandparents went to play golf this week and my grandpa tried to pay for my grandma to be a rider since he is legally blind and can't drive the cart. The office said that they don't allow riders any longer. They tried to explain that he can't drive and don't mind paying for my grandma to be a rider and they still said no, there aren't any exceptions as the sign at the register says. For a community that has majority elder patrons, this is absolutely unacceptable. The front desk even had the audacity to say that they didn't know if it would be the same policy in the summer when business slows down. This is absolutely ridiculous and discriminatory towards someone with a disability. The Americans with Disabilities Act is a law that makes it illegal to discriminate against anyone with a disability, which seems that Great Eagle takes into no consideration. read more

5 star only because I feel bad that so many people gave 1 stars. If you don't want to go out and pay 100 bucks for a tee time then don't complain about the course you're not paying much to play on. Yes it's not the best course but it's enjoyable. Bartenders, pro shop staff, and even our little old man on the first tee were all very welcoming. The Karen's of the world need to relax with the 1 stars read more

From my s/o on 2.23.21: Would not play here again, even if it were free! The course needs to have better signage (even with a map) as the course weaves in and out of a mobile home/RV park! Overpriced ($60) and not maintained well, the fairways and greens were very patchy and the greens were way over grown. Slowest greens I've played on in my life and I've been playing for over 35 years. read more

Tried to have a fish fry with my family. Waitress said she couldn't seat 6 people. Empty four tops she wouldn't put together and said if we wanted to drink we needed to sit at the bar. This is the worst service I have had at this facility. Are they under new management???? read more

This is the worst course I have ever played. The course is in horrible shape, the carts are a mess and the cart path is dirt and difficult to follow. The owner should be ashamed and needs to sell to someone who knows how to run a course. read more

Fairways and greens are in excellent shape. Fun course to play with some challenging holes!

An ok course to improve your short. Hard to make contact with pro shop and website could use some love.

A great layout, this course always provides a fun experience and can be quite a challenge if the wind is blowing or if the pins are in some tougher spots. The restaurant is awesome, tons of televisions, beers on tap and great food options. Service is always super friendly and attentive. I am adding this course to my rotation, as it had been a while and I do love coming out here! read more

Was just driving westbound on Bell Road and got hit in the windshield by a golf ball. When I went in to address the situation, I was told to go find the party that hit it and see if they would admit to it. This was after the gentleman at the golf shop made a phone call to management. What a horrible way to handle this, trying to pass off liability a customer! read more

Hands down the worst course I have ever played. It's all dirt and rock on most holes with limited grass in the fairway. There are puddles on the fairway that I was told have been there for about a year. The greens are in terrible condition and they charge way more than what the course is worth. I wouldn't recommend this course to anyone. Drive 2 minutes past great eagle and play traditions. read more

Ugh, greens good. Tee box ok. Fairways suck. Looks like a heard of sheep been grazing out there. No grass, hard and generally speaking in horrible shape. Restaurant needs cleaning as well as the common area. Lots more value at other courses I told the pro shop folks probably won't be back. read more

Experienced this place for the first time yesterday. Met some people for drinks in the bar. What a dump! The bar reminded me of a cheap dive bar somewhere, and the restrooms were located OUTSIDE! Wait...what?? Yes, outside! A few drinks for me and it was time to find a much better place with a whole lot more class and modern plumbing. Won't recommend and won't be back. read more

To be honest, I was in doubt before I got to the course after reading reviews. Even after the first few holes I was reserving judgement. I have to say I was very happy with the course condition. The fairways were in great shape. The greens were fast. Admittedly, if your shot is not quite on target, you are in for some tough scrambling. The course plays well, and is much more challenging than the slope indicates. There are small rolling hills along the edges of the fairway. I enjoyed the round very much. The folks in the community were very nice and helpful. It is true that the course needs better signage, but when we were unsure, we'd ask and friendly golfers or residents would point out the direction we needed. We were happy with the price and happy with the course conditions. A very enjoyable day. read more

Had a tee time this morning, got there about 30 minutes early to practice putting, the place was dead, so we asked if we could go out early to which the lady replied "you can this time but just remember you got a special on GolfNow and you're not supposed to", I said "we can wait, no problem, but seeing how dead you are, we didn't think it would be a problem", so she let us go out early. Get to the 1st hole and we are getting eaten alive by mosquitoes! I had at least 10 bites after the first hole. There were literally swarms of them! Tried moving on, you can't even concentrate on your swing cause you see them all over your legs! Finished the second hole, with now about 20 bites and decided to quit. Not to mention, the course was crap! The roughs were so long...good luck finding your ball! I asked the lady in the pro shop for a refund, she said she could only offer a rain check, to which I declined because I would never go back. Lucky for me, we got our refund through GolfNow, not for the mosquitoes, but because the course didn't notify GolfNow that the course was cart path only. I understand the course can't keep the mosquitoes out, but we can't be the first people to complain, maybe they need to fog the course. I've never had this problem at any other course. read more

The course is awesome! The restaurant will make you want to use bleach! Damn, this place needs a good cleaning! Not sure if any of the employees get out from behind the bar! It needs a serious cleaning on the patio, inside and the grill! Yuck! Close for a day and clean, it's seriously bad! read more

This course plays 67.9/117 from the white tees at right around 6000 yds. The course itself isn't that bad if you can get round all the bare spots in the fairways. It's challenging enough for most recreational golfers. My issue is with the grounds crew. They have no tact or etiquette. They feel it's appropriate to work around the green/in the bunkers while you are trying to hit into the green. They feel it is appropriate to mow the back tee box while you are trying to hit your tee shot from the white tees. This hasn't only happened once or twice. It's a regular occurrence. They simply do not care. This morning, I was at the tee box on 14 (par 3), there was one gentleman on the green. The grounds guy hauled a** by me and right up to the green while the other guy was trying to putt and started to smooth the bunker. Just kept going while that guy was putting and on into my tee shot. read more

Paid too much for a horrible golf course. Do not waste your money on this course. read more

So went here on 3/20/20. I checked in right before tee time. 100% my own fault. Thought my buddy paid for us he only paid for himself. Waiting in the clubhouse to pay one gentleman was in front of me waiting as well. The guy working the clubhouse (older taller slimmer guy shaved head) what a a$$h@!3! First off he's on the phone arguing with someone over something so stupid I don't even want to get into it. Finally after a good 5mins he hangs up. Guy in front of me wants to pay. He says unfortunately with the circumstances of living in this day and age with the virus 2 people had to get up and leave to get back to where they lived. The guy in the clubhouse checking people in starts to basically berate this guy. Saying he should be charging him $20 a head for not showing up and booking a 4some. Guy running the clubhouse is not even being nice about it. Good way to have to start your round. So now I get up there. My tee time is 12:44. Watch says 12:42. He tells me I'm late. So just being sarcastic because of what I've witnessed so far I say actually 2 mins early he says no 1min either way starts to berate me. I said well if you didn't take 10mins arguing with the guy on the phone and talking to the guy in front of me like a ass I'd be early. I laugh at him sign my receipt and leave. Get to the first tee and then have to wait roughly 10-15 minutes to tee off! Not because I was running a little late it was because the course was backed up! I teed off with my 12:44 group! The starter was a very nice guy. Cart lady in the course was super nice as well. With this whole virus thing going on the guy in the clubhouse should be happy he even has a job right now, never mind people showing up. Because of him I will never go back to this course again. read more

First time here, had a great day. Son was in town so we seen the offer for unlimited golf and a free meal for $30.00. Well worth it. Greens were in great shape, fairways were fine also. Probably would have never played here if it wasn't for the special. Regular price is a bit high for the quality of golf. Surprised with the amount of trees. It's a bit narrow with all of the mobile homes around. Some bad areas in the rough, however still a good course. read more

If I could negative stars I would. My husband, son and I tried to golf over Memorial Weekend. I have never been treated so poorly by staff. They are beyond rude, arbitrarily enforce rules, and when you ask them about "their rules" they simply expect them to be followed. We left and will NEVER return to said property without receiving a refund of any kind. Beware the customer service is none it's like dealing with Nazis. They are very discriminatory. I am contacting the Attorney General's Office to notify them of my complaint. read more

The starter was so friendly to us, I am a new to golfing and he was just great. However the following course Marshall's were rude and very condescending. We were going to only rate this course one star, but starter helped this to be at least two stars. This is not pebble beach, so, you are going to experience some rookies. Please tell them to guide us with some diplomacy and less attitude. After this treatment , we will not probably return. Keep in mind , there are other courses nearby that have treated us with dignity and kindness that we will continue to bring our business to them. read more

While visiting family in Surprise, 10/16/19, took a day off for golf. Over the past 18 years I've played on numerous courses in the area, but most often Falcon Dunes at Luke AFB. Since they were closed for over seeding, I booked a tee time at Great Eagle GC on Bell Road. They too were over seeding and carts were restricted to cart path only. No big deal but the only thing that resembled a cart path was on # 18, all others were delineated by a painted red line in dirt. The course was in terrible condition. Realizing over seeding was being done, the fairways were in terrible conditions. Many areas on every hole had bare spots throughout. Greens were tolerable, but overall it was a goat track. I can honestly say it was by far the worse golf course I've ever played in the Phoenix area. And all this for a mere $49.40 (range balls included). As a single I was paired with two others. I reported to the starter 10 minutes before my scheduled tee time only to be told he had just sent off the twosome. The starter wasn't very pleasant or accommodating, bordering on rude. I asked if anything was wrong and he responded no. I asked how his day was going and he said, "Terrific!" (You couldn't prove it by me.) I teed off as a single, had to wait on the first several holes (what you'd expect playing as a single) until a twosome caught up to me and we joined up. They were in agreement regarding the state of the course, but their company was welcomed. Bottom line..... Never again. read more

I am not a picky golfer, so if you are picky disregard my review. The people were nice, the course was nice, not the best grass I've played on, but good enough for me. I will definitely be back to play again if I am able to score a deal like I did on this early morning tee time. $27 for 18 holes on golfnow.com The only downside other than course conditions is the gps on the cart did not work for me. Other than that ... I am good with this place. read more

We were at the Great Eagle Restaurant for a few drinks and hade the fish fry. The fish was the best we have had in a long time. Jana was the bar tender and what a delightful person and a very attentive person. We will be back. We really like this place. Jack and Ray read more

Great service! Awesome staff! Amazing food for the west valley. Great eagle has great specials for golf and their apparel. During the day I am never empty on drinks even if it's just a water day . BEST FRIES on the WV! Love the bartender! Always personal and attentive! Never a grin up in here! chelley!! read more

Course was in terrible shape. Paid $30 to hit off dirt fairways. Don't waste your time at this course.

This is a horrible golf course and should not even be regarded as a golf course. The grass has not be maintained and even grass and weed type up around the greens. The cart paths are not paths they are rough and broken cement and mostly just dirt. The course is not maintained at all. It is a shame that the owner(s) have let this course decay because it use to be a great golf course. My son, my son-in-law and his dad played it yesterday and it was horrible. I play a lot of courses around the family and this is a disaster. The owner should be ashamed for letting this course get like this. I cannot think of one thing that would get a good review on this course. Don't waste your time and money on this course even the golf carts are a mess. But then of course they would be as rough as the so called paths are. Too bad because it use to be a nice course until the new owners took over. This course is not even worth one star. We played April 12, 2021 and will never return and will let others know how terrible it is. Chuck Akers read more

Pro shop staff Monday thru Friday are rude! Not friendly! Weekend staff was great,even the beer cart girl super polite and nice. The 2 holes from the road are the only holes that they keep up-to-date and in magnificent condition. If you're looking for a cheap round of golf this is the place. Every Tee box is crested. Need to invest a lot of money in this course and in lawn maintenance crews. read more

I showed up at 4:38 as a single walk on and the pro shop was supposed to be open till 5 and was closed... I spoke to an employee in the bar and she tried to track down the cart guy to let me in to pay. When she came back she said there was no way she could get me out onto the course. Thanks for the help.
