The Eagles is a 36-hole golf course located northwest of Tampa in a residential community 30 minutes from the Tampa International Airport between Veterans Expressway and US 19.
The courses are within a large residential development along forested land with lakes, ponds, and wetlands bordering most fairways. The Forest course is tight off the tee and on the approaches to the greens and features a replica of the 17th at TPC Sawgrass island green on #6. It's a parkland-style design through wooded fairways featuring water on 14 holes and 60 sand bunkers with varying shapes and sizes of greens. It's 6,604 yards, 72.2/134, course/slope ratings from the tips with four shorter tees, designed by Gary Koch, Rick Robbins, and Ron Garl.
True to its name, the Lakes course has water in play on every hole and is slightly more playable. It's longer, with wide-open landing areas off the tee and generous greens with sand traps at a minimum. It will play to 7,005 yards, 73.8/135, course/slope ratings from the tips with four shorter tees, designed by Messrs Koch and Garl.
