Featuring two 18-hole
championship golf courses with entirely different personalities, The Eagles' golf courses
are among the favorite courses to play in Tampa Bay.
On The Forest Course at The Eagles Golf
Club, accuracy is a premium.With
its highly contoured fairways and well placed,
meticulous greens, this course provides an
enjoyable round of golf. The Forest
Course measures 6,700 yards from
the back tees and features the signature island-green,
par-3 sixth hole, which rivals the famous
17th hole at the TPC at Sawgrass in Jacksonville.
Noted golf course architect, PGA Tour professional
and NBC-TV commentator Gary Koch and master
architect Rick Robbins are responsible for
the front nine of The Forest Course,
while noted architect Ron Garl designed the
back nine.
An abundance of water inspired
the moniker for the The Eagles - Lakes Course.
Water comes into play on virtually every hole. The Lakes Course
course measures over 7,100 yards and is more
like the traditional Florida course with huge
greens and generous driving areas.
The Eagles Golf Club has a hard-won reputation for well-conditioned
tees, greens, and fairways. Four sets of tees
offer golfers a wide choice of challenges.
When the St. Petersburg Times canvassed several
dozen Tampa Bay golf courses to put together
a Tampa Bay "Dream 18," two holes
from The Eagles were selected.
