Course Architecture & Design
Architect: Robert Trent Jones II, one of golf's most celebrated course designers, crafted Eagle Hollow to showcase his philosophy of environmental harmony and strategic golf. Jones II has designed over 270 courses in 40 countries, and Eagle Hollow represents his commitment to creating courses that challenge the mind as much as the swing.
The course features Jones' trademark risk-reward design elements, where players must decide between aggressive lines offering birdie opportunities or conservative routes ensuring par. Deep bunkers with sharp faces guard greens and fairways, while native grasses and natural hazards define playing corridors.
Signature Holes: The par-3 14th hole plays over water to an island green surrounded by bunkers, requiring precise club selection and execution. The finishing hole, a par-5 18th, offers eagles for the bold while punishing wayward shots with water down the left side.
