Golden Eagle South: Pitt Meadows

Overview:
Located only 45 minutes from Vancouver, Golden Eagle Golf Club is situated amidst the beautiful Thompson Mountains located in scenic Pitt Meadows. At Golden Eagle Golf Club in Pitt Meadows you will find 18 fun and challenging hole South Golf Course. Rolling fairways surrounded by plenty of water and bunkers lead you to massive bent grass greens testing all aspects of your game.

14th Hole Green at Sunset


Grounds:
Grounds maintenance does not seem to be a top priority on the south course.  Spotty fairways, modelled greens and bunkers that blend with the rough make some shots very challenging or worth actually moving your ball a little.  Bunkers do not look like they have had new sand in a while with pebbles showing up on top of most.

Staff:
The only person we saw on the course was the pro shop teller that took our green fees.  He was very friendly and nothing to complain about.

Amenities:
There is a beer cart but perhaps not during the week or for later tee times.  A restaurant, putting green and a couple of warm up cages.

Facility:
Nice clubhouse and pro shop.  Things looked clean and well taken care of.

Price:
$54 per round and $35 for a cart makes it a mid range course.  The twilight deal at 5pm for $25 is a good deal though as during the summer months it is still light enough to make it through the course.

Course Type:
Parkland | Public | 18

Par:
70

Thoughts:
Lots of water and creeks to help thin out your extra balls.  This course plays nicely as long as you keep the ball straight.  The grounds definately could use some care and attention,  it looks like there was some draining issues in places when it rains and then some patches in the fairways and greens.  The bunkers created a new hazard type offering a blend between rough and sand around most edges.

Pros: 
Not a long course in distance and you can find some good deals for green fees.

Cons:
Maintenance issues stand out the most and the need to hit the ball straight.
