Part of the price is based on the area (Silicon Valley). There are other courses such as San Juan Oaks in Hollister (Fred Couples design) that is less expensive and very comparable to Eagle Ridge but you need to drive another 20 to 25 miles.
This course is challenging for the low handicap golfer but not too difficult for the high handicap golfer if they play from the right tees. The course is walkable but there are a few holes that have an uphill walk from green to tee (8 to 9, 12 to 13, 14 to 15). In most cases the course is in very good condition but occasionally there are brown spots on the greens in the summer months. All in all you will not be disappointed.
Would travel: 30-60 Miles, Vacation Worthy
Bottom line: I would play again, Ranks with the best in this price level, Fair priced based on quality and competitive area pricing
