Course Overview
There isn’t much to the clubhouse, just a small building with the essentials. They have a driving range (currently closed) and putting green to warm up before your round.
We were looking forward to the round and figured the course was going to be nice. However, it greatly exceeded all expectations. The layout of this track is awesome and a very fun course to play. There’s drastic elevation changes, especially on the par 3’s on the front 9, which are breathtaking. It gives you a mountain course view just 45 minutes outside of Charlotte. Water comes into play on 7 of the holes and requires accuracy off the tee. The greens were immaculate and some of the best we have seen, especially for the beginning of April. They were moving a little slow so you can attack the pin, but smooth nonetheless. Bunkers and fairways were perfect for this time of the year.
A random golfer playing passed by us and stopped to ask us how the round was going (not knowing who we were) and gave us some tips on how to play some holes. After talking to him for a few minutes, it turns out he’s the Head Pro of Eagle Chase, Matt Zvanut. That just goes to show what kind of facility this place is. One that really cares about the golfer experience and just another reason why this place is special.
Eagle Chase is very reasonably priced. We paid $32 at 3pm on a weekend. Even on Saturday and Sunday mornings, it’s only $49. This is the best value we’ve found for the level of play. We think it competes with Verdict Ridge for our #1 golf course in the Charlotte, NC area. If you haven’t been out there yet, I would check it out the next time you play. If you play there once, you’ll be back again.
Signature Holes:
#2 Par 4, 387yds, Handicap: 2 – People warned us about this hole, and rightfully so. It’s a beautiful hole, but one of the more intimidating tee shots you’ll have. The tee box is elevated and looking out to a very narrow landing area. Water on the left, marsh short, and if you miss right, you’ll find yourself OB in a creek that runs parallel to the hole. Look at the picture below to see what you’re up against. You may want to take a long iron or wood off the tee. The approach shot isn’t much easier and could be a big blowup hole. We’d be happy walking away with a par or bogey.

#6 Par 3, 151yds, Handicap: 8 – All the par 3s are beautiful, but look at this one, which is severely downhill with no room to miss on the right. Play this to the middle of the green and be happy walking away with a par.
