Eagle Ridge Resort & Spa

The golf course was nice,the pricing policy is crazy.I tried to play course the day before,but they wanted 59 dollars to play,nothing was on golfnow,Nwxt day I paid 11 dollars

All of the Eagle Ridge courses are fantastic and fun to play, but The General remains the crowning glory of Galena. I played The General many years ago and finally made a trip back specifically to play this course. Known for its difficulty, The General provides tremendous experience from all of the tee boxes. However, if you are visiting Galena and are not a serious golfer, stick to the North and East courses because the General and the South courses are far more difficult. The views are stunning, the greens rolled perfectly and were very fast which I enjoy (some may not) and we played early so the round was fast. No hole is alike with undulating fairways and dense brush, but if you are able to hit the fairway you are left with a chance at par, but birdies are rare. Some holes plunge hundreds of feet down into the forest, some bend around some water and through limestone bluffs. We played at 7am and morning sun was just spectacular...bring your camera and your A-game, you'll need it. This is truly one of the best courses in the Midwest, and perhaps the country. The General is well worth the price and it is a round you will never forget. This is golf.

The General was a great course with lots of variety in holes. Only complaint was that greens were a little slow. Oh and plan to bring a couple extra balls

beautiful views challenging course looking foward to coming here again

this course is very challenging. the views are awesome i'm looking forward to golfing here again this was my 1st time playing this course.

Great mix of left to right and right to left holes as well as downhill and uphill shots. Greens roll very true and hold really well. Some of the tees were a bit over used but overall this is a great golfing experience.

Many elevation changes and fairway bunkers plus hazards which cross the fairways make the course fun and interesting.

Great course very challenging golf now easy to use

Eagle Ridge North is a great challenging course, that winds around the beautiful Galena landscape. Reading the subtle breaks on these large greens is tough, but if you can play it several times I think you will find out where not to hit it.

The course setting is wooded with narrow, hilly fairways.

we really enjoyed the course a must play much easier than the General. great course for couples golf.

each hole is appealing. great variety in the topography. hills and valleys. good greens.

I planned on playing the E/Ridge East g/c, but checked out golfnow for rates on the 18 hole courses. Much to my surprise, there was a special for $30 on the North g/c.

Probably the most scenic course I've ever played ... and I've played hundreds of g/c's all over the US!

Spectacular course from start to finish. Great elevation changes and superb conditions. Very challenging course with no two holes alike. Bring your camera as most holes are worth a photo stop.

Target golf for the thinking player, in every aspect, from tee to green. Not for the faint of heart. Keeps you thinking, from the #1 tee, to the 18th green. Fantastic.

A must play if your in the Galena area recommend best ball if your golfing with couples you'll enjoy the course more.

This course is challenging. If you like a high risk high reward course this is the course for you. It is a very tight course. If you have a hard time staying in the middle with your tee shot you better bring about a dozen balls.The greens run fast and true. This course has multiple holes that have elevation changes including their signature hole 14 which is 18 stories above the green. This course is incredibly beautiful with trees throughout the course at one point you can see three states Iowa Illinois and Wisconsin from the tee box. Only downfall of this course is as there is no driving range at the General we asked the attendant when we first got there there was a range and she said no we don't have one at this course. Great track!

I really enjoyed playing this course. The scenery and the views were extraordinary. Club selection was challenging, at times, given the changes in elevation...numerous uphill and downhill shots. I would expect to score much better the next time I play it. The heat index on the day I played The General was +100. A staff member (I think he was the marshal) made it bearable by providing all golfers on the course with an ice cold towel. In fact, he came by a couple of times to refresh our towel. How nice was that? The only slight negative on the day was the pro shop staff. I felt like we were "bothering" them, especially after our round.

It goes without saying that The General is one of the top 5 courses in the Illinois/Indiana/Wisconsin/Iowa area. Each hole is truly spectacular and the layout is second to none for a Midwest course. The only issue, and it was extremely obnoxious, was the amount of bugs. On a couple of greens, it was so bad that our group simply picked up our balls and drove to the next hole. Apparently the course has some kind of solution that you can apply to your clothing to keep them away, but we didn't receive this message until after the round!

Other than the bugs, our experience was A+ quality. The staff and course conditions were great, thank you!

One of the best I have ever played. Challenges every part of your game.
