Eagles Golf Club

Description

The Eagles Golf Club boasts a long, proud tradition as the standard of excellence for public access golf in the Tampa market. Located in the prestigious Eagles community, the club offers two distinctly different 18 hole challenges on the Lakes and Forest courses. At 6,719 yards from the championship tees, the Forest Course demands precise shot-making and course management. The driveable par four third is a classic risk/reward opportunity: eagle or "other" is a possible score on this challenging hole. The peninsula green on the par three sixth offers all the characteristic drama of a forced carry over the water. The back nine is nestled in a setting more reminiscent of a nature preserve than a golf course; you'll find it hard to believe that the Tampa airport is a mere 20 minutes away. Your time spent on these fairways surrounded by the tranquility of the natural surroundings will have you coming back again and again. Over 7,000 yards "from the tips" the Lakes Course provides a more traditional look and feel than the Forest Course. It takes accurate ball striking and length to successfully navigate this interesting layout. Number one is a twisting, turning par five around a majestic oak in the right center of the fairway; but a birdie is a great way to start your round. Number ten is a dogleg par five which hugs the aqua range from tee to green. A perfectly placed tee shot allows you to "go for it in two"; Good Luck!
