The Eagleglen Golf Course was an 18-hole,
Par 72 course that measures 6,687 yards from the back tees, and has a rating of
71.6 and a slope of 126. The course was
designed by Robert Trent Jones Jr. and was built by the Corps of Engineers, and
opened in 1970.
While the
golf course was open, it was nestled in the ship wreck drainage basin. The Eagleglen course can play to your liking
depending on your selection of tees. The
golf course takes the golfer on a journey through part golf course, part
arboretum, and part national park all-in-one.
The designer utilized the natural terrain and the meandering river that adds
an additional challenge. This tree lined course is more traditional golf with “risk
and reward” challenges throughout the course. The best word I can us to describe the course
is Majestic. It has beautiful mature
trees throughout the course.
Built for
the military personnel of Elmendorf Air Force Base, the golf course was one of
the premier golf facility in Alaska. Unfortunately,
the golf course was closed in May 2014 and became the Eagleglen Fitness Park.
