Views were amazing, course was difficult, but overall it does not look like the course is being well kept. Par 3 tee boxes are absolutely decimated, bunkers have less than 1/4" of sand plus baseball size rocks, and the carts are slow as hell. Absolutely not worth $140.

The only defense of this course seemed to just be growing the grass out weirdly long to protect pretty basic and repetitive holes. The highlight of this course had to be the greens. I think that uncle Donny did a good job crafting creative fun greens.

EagleSticks absolutely rocks. We need more places like this in public golf. It forced me to hit every club in my bag except two, shape the ball both ways, and forced me to hit some approach shots high and some approach shots you had to run up.

How we rank
This ranking uses published scorecard data from each course’s longest men’s tees, the same tee set for every course. Only 18-hole courses with a yardage for every hole, a total that matches the hole-by-hole sum, and a par between 54 and 80 are included, and the tees must carry a single slope rating (55–155) and course rating. Courses whose scorecard duplicates another course’s are left out until the data is fixed. Courses are ordered by slope rating, then course rating, then Course Vaults score. Only open courses with a published Course Vaults score (at least 5 explicit ratings) are eligible, and a page is published only when at least 5 courses qualify. City pages include courses within about 25 miles of Nashport, so nearby suburbs can appear. Rankings refresh about hourly.
