Frequently Asked Questions

What truly makes Eagle Links a 'links' course, and how does it compare to its overseas counterparts?

You'll find Eagle Links delivers a genuine links feel with its firm, fast fairways and the ever-present wind off the nearby coast. While it lacks the centuries of history, the fescue-lined dunes and strategic bunkering demand a similar ground game and creative shot-making. Don't expect lush, manicured parkland - this course is about raw, natural golf.

Which hole at Eagle Links should I be most excited - or nervous - to play?

The par-3 14th, 'The Roost,' is undoubtedly the course's signature challenge. It plays directly into the prevailing wind over a deep chasm to a small, elevated green, making club selection a true test of nerve. A par here feels like a birdie, so embrace the challenge and enjoy the dramatic views.

When is the absolute best time to visit Eagle Links for ideal playing conditions and fewer crowds?

We highly recommend visiting in late spring (May-June) or early fall (September-October). The weather is typically fantastic - sunny with a consistent breeze - and you'll avoid the intense summer heat and peak tourist season. The course plays firm and fast during these months, just as it should.

Is the green fee at Eagle Links justified, and what amenities are included in the experience?

Yes, the green fee at Eagle Links is a premium, but you're paying for a truly unique and immaculately maintained links experience in the US. Beyond the challenging course, you get access to a top-tier practice facility, including a dedicated short game area, and excellent locker room services. Expect a full-service, high-end golf day.

How forgiving is Eagle Links for higher handicappers, and what's your best advice for scoring well?

Eagle Links is a demanding test, especially when the wind picks up, so it's not overly forgiving for errant shots. Our best advice is to play from the appropriate tees, focus on keeping the ball low and in play, and embrace the bump-and-run around the greens. Don't be afraid to leave the driver in the bag on some holes.
