Course Overview
Golden Eagle Golf Club, located in Irvington, Virginia, offers an 18-hole golf experience that blends natural beauty with a classic layout designed to challenge and engage players of various skill levels. This public course sits within a golf community setting where water features and rolling terrain shape the fairways and greens, providing a distinctive character to each hole. The course’s style leans toward a parkland design, with mature trees framing the holes and natural wetlands introducing both strategic and visual complexity.
Players can expect a course that demands thoughtful shotmaking, particularly where bunkers guard the greens and water comes into play. The course has some holes that invite a tactical approach rather than pure power, rewarding accuracy over distance. While conditions in some areas, especially bunkers, have drawn mixed attention recently, the layout’s potential shines through, making it a worthwhile destination for golfers seeking a solid challenge and variety on their round.

Walking the course is practical on most days, although given the terrain and occasional wet conditions, footwear with good traction is advisable. Golf carts are available by request but walking is encouraged to fully appreciate the course’s natural setting.
In planning a visit, consider weekday tee times for the best pace of play. With upcoming renovation plans anticipated to renew the greens and bunkers, Golden Eagle Golf Club presents a course in transition, one that is worth experiencing today and watching evolve into an even stronger regional destination in Virginia’s golfing landscape.

The staff was extremely nice but that’s about it. Let me say: I don’t mind paying money for nice courses (have spent $250+ to play resorts and fun places around the country) but paying $85 for a course in this condition is extremely unfair. Especially seeing conditions like this on the first hole. It did rain two days ago, so I don’t mind seeing standing water, but more than half of the bunkers had algae and grass growing out of the bunker that were completely ignored. Terrible conditions and I do not recommend. I will not be playing here until either. The prices are favorable to the conditions or the conditions get extremely better.

Greens and bunkers in need of renovation. We’re told that will happen when the entire course is rebuilt soon. It’s an interesting layout with some very attractive holes. Could be very challenging.

This is one of our favorite places to eat! The staff is amazing, and the food is always consistent and great. My dad loves the flourless chocolate cake, and the setting is just picture perfect!

Seeking something to do and a new place to eat locally , especially on a Sunday, our choices were indeed limited . My friend hadn’t been to the Golden Eagle Grill so off we went . Set well back in the Golf Course community we followed the signs to find our way to the Grill. Located on the second floor of the building it’s set off my a string of arch top French doors that lead to an upper porch( veranda) for mild weather dining ( plus there’s picnic tables in the front on ground level.) We entered a large open room with ample seating.. a group of men were seated at a table they enjoyed a chat about their Golf game and a downed a few beers looking happy to be comfortable to be with their buddies relaxing . Before I knew it the room started filling in. Looking over the menu we chose to eat items similar to those we’ve enjoyed elsewhere for a better comparison. The fish and chips we’ve had at 2 other local restaurants so we had to try those , the onion rings we try everywhere, and a grilled chicken avocado wrap completed our order. Both dishes were an ample portion size and were a clear improvement over the last time I eat there. The onion rings were coated in a crunchy coating as was the Cod in the Fish n Chips . Both the dishes were very decent tasting and filling enough for a guy to eat. We enjoyed the food as the room filled up with more customers . The service was quick and the waitress paid attention to our needs, but not hovering . We left full and the food was pretty reasonable . My friend said he’d go back and bring his kids .. good idea I told him. I’d like to try the desserts next time .. I also imagine how pleasant it would be to sit on the veranda in milder weather with friends or family either after a Golf outing or just to be out in nature . Give it a try ! Keep it on your list of local places to go !
