Holes are 33, 62, 53, 130, 105, 67, 90, 42, and 70 yds long. Take a pitching wedge and a putter. If the 130 yarder is too long for your pitching wedge, that's OK, just lay up in front of the water.

The most distinctive characteristic of Eagle Village is the artificial turf greens and tee boxes. The greens will hold well hit high or backspin shots.

The course winds through an old nursery with 45 different varieties of trees - one of each is labeled.

The tee boxes (and mats on the range) are wonderful artificial turf. You won't need a tee - but you can use one.

On the driving range get into the 75 yd bucket for a hot dog, 100 gets a bucket of balls, 150 a t-shirt, and there's a car window to hit at 200yds and win $100. Every tee station has yardages to flags marked on hand-painted bricks.

For newcomers, they have a large selection of random woods ($10) and irons ($5) for sale or rent ($2).

Big Dog hot dogs are thick and solid on a locally baked french roll for $2.

6/30/04 - Greens are smoother, fast, and really quite puttable. Grass fairways are cut a bit long right now and give challenging chips.

Jim has added a vintage miniature golf course to the property. $5 for unlimited play. Drop the kids there and walk just a few steps away to the driving range.

8/28/03 - The greens are still a bit lumpy and the natural grass areas are rough and clumpy except sodded collars around the greens. As all new courses, it will take a year for the grass to properly grow in. Meanwhile, it's still very playable. And fun.
