Course Information

Water hazards come into play on eleven holes, providing a challenge for all skill levels.
"Superb course, I liked it when I played it the 1st time 5 years ago, and like it even better now!" -Paul Jacobson
A unique layout defined by distinctively different holes, Eagle Creek has earned the reputation as one of the finest golf courses in Ohio- Rated 4 1/2 out of 5 stars by Golf Digest. This championship length par 71 has four sets of perfectly manicured tees with 5 par 3's and 4 par 5's.
Every Hole has something different to offer, according to Dave Weisenberger, General Manager of Eagle Creek Golf Club.
Your day will begin with a straightaway par five (502 from the back tees). Tree lined fairways and two greenside bunkers are your only obstacles until your reach the most undulating green on the course. An excellent hole to birdie and start off your round under par.
On No.4, you need an accurate shot to land on the fairway and have to clear a creek twice before making it to the green. The water behind the green offers a challenge that leaves little room for error and might cost you a stroke or two before you can put it in the cup.
Hole number 8, one of the five par 3s is just a short to middle iron to a long narrow green guarded by water in the front. This is a classic risk reward hole providing the opportunity for the thrill of victory or the agony of defeat.
The front nine ends with a par four-a dog leg right that is 397 yards from the furtherest tee box. Tree lined fairways and multiple bunkers make par a well earned number before heading to the back nine.
According to Weisenberger, perhaps the toughest par 3 on the course is No.12-a 175 to 200 yard tee shot that has every possible hazard sitting in front of it. A large wetland lines the entire right side of the of the hole and six bunkers entrap the lima bean shaped green. A challenging hole for all skill levels.
The final three holes offered at Eagle Creek are the most challenging on the course. No 16 is a fine par three that has more water than grass. Not much room for error on this hole as the green sits diagonally behind an intimidating lake. No 17, perhaps the toughest hole on the course, said Weisenberger is a long par 4 that is a slight dogleg to the right and features a long rolling green surrounded by trees. This hole tends to play into the prevailing winds making it a "long" 434 yards.
"This is the type of hole that you can easily make birdie or double bogey" Weisenberger
You will finish up your round with what Weisenberger calls the best hole on the course. A par 5 that requries a critical tee shot down a narrow tree lined fairway followed by an approach to a green surrounded by bunkers. A small stream divides the approach and will force the decision to lay up or test your best club in your bag.
