As you've probably figured out by now, I do a LOT of golfing! Because I get to see a lot of courses and play a lot of greens, I've decided to have a do keep an official reviews page for all the courses I play.
Here's a quick breakdown of my ratings system: |

October 7th, 2005
This weeks course is located in Gilroy. I didn't drive so don't get worried. A friend had heard some good things about the Eagle Ridge Golf course so we decided to let him drive me down there and play. I have to say it was really kind of nice. Probably one of the harder courses I'll ever go out of town to play that isn't a PGA tour stop, but it was alot of fun. Fairways were good size, the greens were huge and all in all a good golf course, I just wish I would have brought some part of my game with me.
Here's a look at my afternoon at Eagle Ridge.... |

Here's a good look at the second hole a par 3 with lots of bunkers, including the one on the left that I hit into.
|
This is just a taste of how good this course was, with all sorts of blind shots, that I'm still looking for where I went.
|
Ok, so this is hole 10 a big par 4 that had the biggest green you will ever see. I almost played this hole well. If I didn't show up.
|
Here's the 11 or 12 hole, I wasn't doing to well. I thought, I'll just hit it on the right side to avoid the water. Nope, big yank right in the drink..
|
This could be the hardest par 5 I've ever played. Really narrow, and don't hit the trees. I did and it cost me, but I did make par on it anyway.
|
Here is the final hole of the day. I have had it by this point. Not only did I do bad on this hole, but it cost me shooting under 90 which really pissed me off. Thanks alot 18th hole.

2 Balls. Not too bad, but not really good either. I mean the marshals were non-existent, which was ok because it wasn't slow, but you would figure they would still be trying to move people along.

It was a nice course but I really don't think it was worth that much money. Not without a bag tag or a hot dog at the turn at least.

2.5 balls. I did have a good time at Eagle Ridge. It was a nice course, but for the size of the greens, and the price it wasn't the best place to play. I do say that if you ever get stuck in Gilroy, this could be the only nice part of town so you should check it out.
