The South Course at Eagle Ridge Resort in Galena, Illinois, opened in 1984 and was designed by Roger Packard. Voted one of the top 75 upscale courses in the country, Packard’s design masterfully integrates the course into a beautiful wooded valley, where streams influence play on 11 of the 18 holes. This course, while shorter in yardage than its counterparts at Eagle Ridge, is renowned as the resort’s most difficult, providing a rigorous test of accuracy and shot-making skills. The signature 18th hole is a dramatic 406-yard par 4, beginning with a tee shot from 90 feet above a landing area guarded by lakes on both sides and a stream crossing the fairway. The approach shot plays uphill to a well-bunkered, elevated green, offering a thrilling and challenging finish to the round. The South Course has recently undergone renovations to restore its original architecture, ensuring an enjoyable experience that demands strategic play amidst its stunning natural setting.
