Eagle Ridge Resort & Spa - South Course

Galena, Illinois

The South Course opened in 1984 and in 1996 was voted one of the top 75 upscale courses in the country. As it compares to the North Course, the South Course winds through a beautiful wooded valley where streams come into play on 11 of the 18 holes. The signature hole on the South is hole #18, a 406-yard par 4 with the tee set 90 feet above a landing area which is guarded by lakes on both sides and a stream that crosses the fairway 265 yards from the tee. The second shot plays uphill to a well-bunkered elevated green. The South Clubhouse is the backdrop to this hole. On the scorecard, the South may be shorter in yardage, but is by far the most difficult course on the property. If you want to test your accuracy and shot making skills, the South Course is for you.
