FYI: Visitors can play on this “Private Course” during the week (M-Fri.). We unfortunately didn’t have the time. I most assuredly will next time we’re down.

I’m new to the Area and was looking to test a few courses out so I called Eagles Nest.I asked if I could come try the range and they told me NO. I was wanting to get a feel for the course but with that type of treatment to a potential member I passed and decided to become a member at General Burnside. While I was playing a scramble this past Wednesday other members told me they have received the same treatment by Eagles Nest. Can’t really rate anything other then customer service but for that I give 1 ⭐️
