Eagle Ridge Resort & Spa

The weather conditions were great.

Unfortunately, the ground keepers over watered the front of the greens. They aerated the greens. The rangers did nothing on a 5.5 hour round. One group ahead of us destroyed a green. They allow overserved people on the course.

Unraked traps and divots everywhere.

The General course was severely over-watered, which caused big ruts in the middle of the fairways as well as mud balls on most holes. Not close to being a premium course due to conditions and 5:15 round.

Played the South course the next day and it was in fantastic shape.

Terrible conditions. Course extremely over watered. Ruts from golf carts in the middle of fairways on many holes. Pace of play was 5.5 hours. No GPS for a challenging course. No sand on the carts to fill divots. Nothing positive about the course at all. Will never go back. The South course was in excellent condition. Superintendent at South needs to teach The General how to keep a course.

Beautiful Golf course and view! Staff are very friendly.

Haven’t been out here in probably 15 years. Even after all the rain that has hit the Midwest, the course was in phenomenal shape. Highly recommend. The only quirk is the range is about 3 miles from The General clubhouse. So leave yourself extra time for that. Staff was great, saw the cart girl on both the front and the back, and the hotdogs at the turn were great.

First things first, the staff was wonderful. Just wished there was more of them around. Never saw a ranger, which wasn’t a big deal because it wasn’t very busy. Only saw the beverage/snack cart after 16 holes.

Now, the course….. I played the course this spring and was pretty impressed. It was early spring so I didn’t expect too much. I came back yesterday and I was very disappointed. There were divots that were not repairs EVERYWHERE. None seem to look like they were repaired. I don’t know if they were and the mowers kicked them back up. Every hole had some form of damaged caused my some kind of wheeled machinery. One hole had rut marks that were about 8” deep and 3 feet wide. I know we have received a lot of rain this year but this stuff wasn’t even attempted to be fixed. There were unplayable spots spray painted everywhere. I didn’t pay much to play the round but for supposedly being a premier golf course, I was very disappointed. I get Mother Nature can give and take a golf course, but it seemed like they didn’t even try to hide it. Just there to churn out rounds.

Tight fairways and difficult thick rough that the ball sits down in.Sand traps not raked, but that’s on the players.No GPS on the cart a bit disappointing. Overall great golfing.

I love golfing the General and really all of them for the scenery, the challenging layout with the elevation changes. The course is always in amazing shape. I allayed tell my golfing friend to check out Eagle Ridge!
