Golf boomed during the pandemic...Everywhere except here. Two years later, it's finally making its comeback. Erik Anders Lang travels to this formally unreachable course to find out what happened on this Adventures in Golf, presented by United Airlines.
Bald Eagle GC has a unique story of being virtually abandoned during the pandemic, which was far from unique in the US and Canada at the time, but is slowly making a comeback thanks to the local volunteers who are helping as they play.
Highlighting golf's fun, human, and humorous side. Golf is no longer just the stuffy world of middle-aged country club members. Skratch brings you golf content for a new generation.
From getting the most exotic tee times on Earth (see: Adventures in Golf) to digging into the game's interesting personalities (see: Skratching the Surface, Finding the Fairway), Skratch showcases a side of golf many would never get to see.

I live on the other side of the border and just played this course for the first time since the pandemic. Yes it is rough around the edges but it has a ton of potential. Vancouver golf got even more pretentious during Covid. Jacked up rates, booking fees….absolute garbage! I am more than happy to support this course and look forward to see it return to its former glory.

Such a quality video!! We golfed at Bald Eagle on Monday and pretty much had the whole course to ourselves so that was great. There is so much more to do to get this beautiful course back breathing again - everything from tee boxes to bunkers to fairways to greens needs love, labour ... and money. There is love but not so much labor available and I'm not privy to the funding behind it other than the odd rumour of it being up for sale. Bald Eagle in its prime was the most beautiful course in the lower mainland so everyone hopes that it can be reborn again. Kudos to Tracy and Rick and the rest of the staff for their efforts. Hope is abundant.

Very cool story and GC. Alachua FL. has a similar GC that just reopened after being closed for several years. They recently had a story published in Golf Digest, and it it detailed how volunteers helped get the GC back into playing conditions. Would love to see Turkey Creek GC get some additional recognition for all the hard work everyone has put in.

I played here 3 weeks ago for the first time. Bald Eagle is in a tough spot, even beyond the fact that a border separates them from their customers. It's been a nightmare getting tee times for Vancouver area courses so I hopped on Bald Eagle as a single and it was wide open. It could be really nice, but it's in rough shape. It's burnt to a crisp everywhere besides the greens and will need a ton of repair work. How's it going to happen with no workers and few golfers playing it? Canada should just buy Point Roberts. Why does the US need it? Or how about a trade? Take a similar sized chunk along the BC-Alaska border or something! If Point Roberts was in Canada their real estate market would explode and places like Bald Eagle would flourish. Also, EAL - if you need a 16 handicap hack I'll throw my name in the mix for the Breaking series!

They were allowed to cross he bridge into Maine to get supplies during cover, but Mainers were not allowed to cross the bridge onto the island

I was there in 2017, specifically to play the course but it was being renovated and I think had new ownership. I guess I have to go back. You should also be aware of the other US Exclave; the Angle - which also has a golf course (at the post office) and has sand greens. I was there in 2017 and couldn't play because of the weather.
