Dramatic views & elevation changes

If you play the correct tees, this can be a very enjoyable experience. Take time to look back as well as forward. The greens are difficult to read because of the hilly terrain in the area. The back nine is a little more forgiving the the front nine. Look on golfnow.com for the deals.

this course extremely well maintained

I was just lucky to be able to play the North Course, at this time for the rate which we got. One of the BEST courses in the area.
I,m hoping to be able to play it again, and would recommend it to everyone who loves a playable, challenging, and interesting golf course. Five stars plus...

Beautiful Course

Had a great time at the General. Views from the tee are amazing. Bring a lot of balls though because there are many tight tee shots.

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.

great course layout with very few level lies.

In mid April the course was in great condition. 35 degrees when we tee off and the greens rolled well.

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 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
