About Eagle Ridge Golf Club

What to Expect
Don't let the yardage fool you; this course offers various challenges that make it suitable for a wide range of handicaps. If you’re a beginner or high handicapper, stick to the forward tees to enjoy a more relaxed round. For those more experienced, the back tees can really test your skills with tighter fairways and tricky greens.

Bring your A-game and be prepared for a refreshing day on the links!
