Located just 20 minutes south of Tacoma, Eagles Pride Golf Course in Fort Lewis is one of the area's best golfing values. Originally opened as the 18-hole Fort Lewis Golf Course in 1940, it soon became known as one of the best military courses in the country but it's also open to the public. Another nine was added to the layout in 1979. The three nines, known as the Red, Blue, and Green, are played in different 18-hole combinations. The Red/Blue Course is the original layout. The classic design is player friendly but at the same time challenging with an abundance of trees lining the fairways and greens as well as tricky elevation changes that make it tough to find a flat lie. Each hole offers plenty of variety.
Previously known as Red/Blue at Fort Lewis Golf Course.

Fun Day for Golf

Played the Red and Blue courses at Eagles Pride Golf Course yesterday with three of my Brothers. So glad that we also spent the cost for Carts. This is a very long course, even if you play from the Senior tee boxes. I wish that they still offered the great deals for golf of a decade ago. Then for $30.00 each you got a Cart, 18 holes and Lunch. Not anymore... Now it's the same cost to Walk 18 holes and extra cost for Carts and No Lunch. That's the cost of a new roof for the beautiful Clubhouse and remodeling in the restaurant.

Valleys and Visually Challenging

Course was setup great with great elevation changes and tiered greens. Some greens were slightly slower
There were some holes, where one could not get a sense of the layout/path adding a layer of challenge to the hole.

Definitely a must play course!

Good and Challenging Course

The red always beats me up and then I really enjoy the blue course. It's like doing penance and then being rewarded at the end.

Terrible pace of Play

No starter for our 1:48pm Saturday tee time. Pace of play was extremely slow, and there somehow was a 5-some playing in group ahead of us, making the pace even slower since they were taking their sweet time. Friend had a 1:09 pm tee time, and they were only 3 holes ahead of us. We timed an average of 23 minutes per hole, with a 7 min wait between leaving the green to teeing off at next hole. Terrible pace of play and the marshall could only do so much. They told the 5some to break up in to 3 and 2, and that only lasted maybe 3-4 holes. Ended up being a 5.5+ hr round

No golf cart with a 95 degrees weather.

We booked this course online and because my wife and her girlfriend enjoyed playing this course earlier of this year.
We have special guests from Hawaii that wanted us to book for the next available golf. We didn’t plan on walking and so I booked for a foursome. The biggest mistake of my life. Once we checked in the clubhouse, he told us there is no golf cart available. It is reserved for a tournament at 1:30p. Our tee time is 9:00am. 95+ degrees soaked in a sun and walking from hole to the next. For those who played here before, this course is not made to walk if you are not fitted. The foursome ahead of us are seniors, and they had to walked as well. The twosome behind us for some reasons they were able able to ride on the golf carts. The red and green courses were available for us on this day. The red course were all beat up with dandelions grows wild everywhere on the fairway. The green course were much better in condition. Btw, the twosome behind our group drove the ball and hits my leg while I was waiting to settle to hit my ball. Three marshalls took turn and rushing out and warned us all for the pace of play. Our group is not slow but the foursome seniors had some difficulty moving faster in the heat. Either way, this course is very difficult to walk if your are 65+ older. I don’t think I’ll be returning to play this course again. If you do, call the clubhouse to ensure that they reserved a golf cart for you if possible. It’s terrible on how they organized the activities. When we finished playing, we saw at least 10 golf carts were available and parking in the lot. The leaders in the clubhouse should be fire and should make better arrangement for all the golfers to enjoy.
