Nestled in the hills of the Wasatch Front, Eaglewood's mountain side design demands precision on every tee. Accuracy, not distance, is the key. Each round played will be exciting, for each hole has its own personality and there is a challenge awaiting all those who step onto its greens. Wildlife is prominent throughout North Salt Lakes' east bench and Eaglewood is no exception. Moose, deer, red foxes and coyotes make regular appearances on Eaglewood' terrain. Most well-known, of course, is the bald eagles that soar high above the links.
