Elevation CHANGES!
Interesting mountain course in Illinois. Yes, mountain course. The front 9 is very tight (especially off the tee) and extremely undulating with huge elevation changes. The back 9 is more open and fun to play. Overall, a great course and even better value.
Extremely slow pace of play
Took 2 hours 45 minutes to play 9 holes and hole 10 was backed up with multiple groups waiting. What is the point of a ranger if not going to enforce pace of play? 5.5-6 hours for a round of golf is insane. This was even on a weekday.
Worst pace of play ever for me.
Had two rounds scheduled at eagle ridge. 5-1/2 hours apart from each other. After 5 hours we had only played 14 holes and had to leave to make our next tee time. Was told by an extremely rude ranger that we needed to speed up our pace of play. After talking to him we drove to next tee box where there was the group in front of us yet to tee off. At one point had 4 groups waiting to tee off on a single hole. We were told by staff it was a very busy day and nothing you can do about slow play. But there are signs in club house saying what the pace is and there are 2 rangers on the course. Will never play at eagle ridge again do to the staff and the pace of play. The bunkers are also in very poor condition and weed growth is out of control. The lay out is top notch but course is maintained very poorly.
Enjoyable 9 hole round.
Enjoyable and scenic 9 hole round during a family get together. Great staff, especially the starter. Very personable and helpful.
Course was in good shape except I found the greens a bit on the slow side and a bit “shaggy”. It was fine for the family golf I was doing but it took a bit away from a nice course.
This may have been due to the crazy heat and humidity this summer along with excessive rain so I am not going to blame the staff, we didn’t play any of the other area courses for comparison.
I do plan to go back as I enjoyed the scenery and friendly staff.
Eagle ridge north course
Beautiful course in pristine condition.
Watch out for some blind shots on a couple of holes.
You will need to find the correct side of the fairway in order to get to the greens.
Definitely will play again.
