| Eagle Creek Golf Club -- Nothing Wrong With Eagle Creek |
| Review by: Chris Leibel |
I have golfed Eagle Creek many times over the past four years. The front nine holes are much different from the back nine. The front nine are wide fairways with very few obstructions and on a windy day, these holes can be as tough as any other holes in golf. Meanwhile, the back nine are just the opposite. The fairways are much more narrow and every hole except hole #13 is engulfed in trees. You must be very careful on the back nine because if you go in the trees you won't be making par on that hole. The wind is not so much a factor on the back nine but that's a plus since there is already so much to worry about. Still, it is a great course. If I had to make one complaint about this course, it is the fact that to just golf one round or even become a member the fees are a little ridiculous. It seems that most of the people who do or would like to golf there are locals and they can't afford to pay those type of fees. But again, that is my only complaint about this course. If I was asked to recommend one course to try, my answer would have to be Eagle Creek Golf Club in Willmar, Minnesota. |

This course description is a tale of two cities. The front nine is extremely short, containing four par 3's, many shorter par 4's (less than 300 yards) and one shorter par 5 (450ish), and only one blind shot. The back nine is much longer and more difficult. One of the par 3's is the shortest hole I have ever played. It is about 70 yards and plays even shorter as the hole placement is commonly at the front edge of the green. The moderately sized fairways are lined with thick, knee-high clover patches which make it very difficult to find a ball shanked left or right. Water is never really in play if you make solid contact with the ball. Sand is not a significant issue with the course. Water and rough is not either, although the long stuff on the back nine can eat a lot of balls. Overall, considering price and ease of not needing a tee time, I give the course a solid 3.5 stars out of 5. I will round down to 3 as I can't give it 3.5. |
