Has potential, Needs some simple love

You can see that this course has the potential to be a very solid, interesting, challenging track.
I understand that new ownership is still investing and it takes time. However, my biggest issue is that carelessness shown in not mowing the grass in fairway rough and especially surrounding the greens. I lost 4-5 balls that we only a few yards off the fairways or green. It doesn't take much to run a lawn mower to acceptable and playable rough height.
I will wait until further improvements are made before playing again. Hopefully they will because it could be a very good public course.

Great value course

I've played eagles pride more than a few times this summer. Blue Course open since mid July is ideal.
Red course/Blue Course is an excellent 18 holes.
Greens in good shape. Fairways watered and kept in solid condition.
Superb range and practice facility.
Worth the drive from Seattle and not on military base, so no delayed entry.

Cons:: no drinking water on course or in clubhouse.
Restaurant / brew house remains under construction.
Morning pro shop fella is sn absolute grump. Usually there is a very pleasant woman. If he's there, hopefully his attitude and outlook won't affect your experience too much.

Coming soon

Gleneagle has had a lot of work to do over the last couple years, since conditions were very poor.. Good news is they are making progress.
Greens are healthy and rolling. They should be great this summer
Fairways still recovering from winter/spring
Give the crew another month and wet spring conditions will subside.
Good value course. Challenging layout. Precision required - or a lot of golf balls.

Enjoyable course. Caution pace of play.

Red/green course. Blue closed until summer.
Enjoyable course, fair, accessible and scorable.
Not super long.
Green rolling true,
Some long walks between tee boxes. Cart preferable
Grounds crew doing excellent job in cleaning up after storms
Pace of Play possible issue. Older, regulars, military 4some group ignored our twosome on 3 tee boxes and drove away when approached to ask to play thru. We picked up our balls and skipped a hole to pass them. There were No other groups within 3 holes. I believe they genuinely didn't care that we we waiting on every box
Otherwise, enjoyable course

Modest, solid, enjoyable course

Course conditions above average for wet spring. Greens rolling true, but slow. When they're cut & rolled they'll be better.
Course not long or super protected or penal, with exception of water holes. Easy walk, Enjoyable and affordable. Confidence builder with ability to score.

Mixed review

Greens were slow and quite visibly bumpy on each hole. In late August in Seattle, plus the normal green fees that willows run charges, these greens conditions are hard to believe.
Fairways were in good shap, with signature thick rough.
Many areas around the greens were hard pan, burned out and unplayable.
C - grade for willows and coyote this time.
Thankful for golf now rate.

Gem of a course, great value

Hadn't played the classic in a few years. The removal of some 1800 trees is a positive for the course, though still very challenging for any golfer. Terrific undulating greens. Course knowledge a positive to help score
Will definitely play more often.
Terrific GN rate

Worthy Course , Good Value, Challenging Greens

Warm, sunny Saturday afternoon 315p tee off. Paired with one other single. No other groups on the course.
2 foursomes followed at 330pm. Leisurely walking pace of a little over 4 hours. Fine walking course.
Overall - excellent course, great greens. The layout has perhaps too many doglegs for my liking but its not a detriment.
Range, putting green and chipping area were above average.
Worth the value of Golf Now rates.
Play this course!

Hidden gem

Super rates, excellent greens, average fairways.
N Shore offers a great variety of holes and challenges. While there often are 5somes, they usually keep up pace of play. Marshals do a good job of keeping an on course presence.

Excellent conditions and value!

Course is in fantastic condition given the incredibly hot and dry summer. Fairways are green and putting greens are very good. Maybe not as fast as usual, but very good. Terrific job by glen acres to keep the course in such quality condition.
I forgot what a quality course this is.
Play it again or for the first time. You'll be happy you did.
