Eagle Ridge Resort & Spa - The General Course
About
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.

Golfer Reviews
Very challenging
One of the best I have ever played. Challenges every part of your game.
Well worth the drive
The General is one of 3, very nice 18 hole courses at Eagle Ridge. Considering the early season conditions and the recent heavy rains, the course was in very good condition and will do nothing but get better.
Using Golfnow made the round very affordable and I'm using it today on the South Course.
One criticism: if you like to hit balls before playing, allow enough
time to go to the North Course and pay for range balls.
spectacular views
very challenging course especially if you miss the fairway.elevation changes on every hole. Scenery is outstanding and of course was in great shape would never get bored playing this course.
The General-a WOW course
Fantastic course. Challenging with many elevation changes and greens that are very fast and true. The scenery is amazing. Only downside on this day was a large group way up in front of us were allowed to slow the entire course down. They were playing together in a very large group. Should never be allowed especially on an upscale course like this!
beautiful course
pro shop rude and not helpful. on course staff could not have been nicer or more helpful.
Beautiful course with superb Fall color changing views
One of the most fun, interesting, and challenging course I ever played. The eye-catching panoramic view is simply the best part of Fall golf game. It was definitely money well spent. Strongly recommend to golfers to visits Eagle Ridge Resort for a round of golf game.
Absolutetly beautiful for its scenery. A very challeging layout, but fair.
The staff was outstanding. The golf was great. I was 10 minutes late for my T-Time and they welcomed me graciously and got me out without delay. I am a 16.2 handicap senior golfer and had a good game from the senior tees. I would recommend this course for golfers who want to play one the premier Midwest courses. It is challenging, but fair and probably one of the most beautiful you'll ever see in the fall.
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
