Rating 72.8

The General at Eagle Ridge Resort & Spa is the most well known of the resort's three championship golf courses. It has been ranked as one of the top 100 courses in the country. The rolling, wooded hills provide a dramatic setting for the course. 250 feet of elevation changes provide stunning views of three different states: Iowa, Illinois, and Wisconsin. The layout features tee boxes carved into hillsides and rolling fairways bordered by tall fescue and heather. Try to build up your score with the par 5s and par 3s while handling the tricky par 4s cautiously. The signature hole is the 14th. There is a 180-yard elevation change but it is still rather playable since it is a short, downhill par 4. In addition to the three championship golf courses, Eagle Ridge offers a nine-hole course as well that has the same great conditions and design.

Beautiful views but overpriced

Matt, the starter, was the only friendly employee. The course was in good condition considering dry weather. There were some beautiful views but overpriced. The employees inside did not treat my wife and i friendly at all did not even greet us!!! NO WARM FUZZY FEELING!!!!!! very disappointed in club house closing at 6 p.m..there wasn't any sign stating that otherwise I would have shopped before my round which was done after 6 p.m.. The prices they charge for greens fees they must not have needed my money! Overall a nice course but I have played just as nice for half the price. If it was not for GolfNow I would never have golf there.
Thanks GolfNow, Don
