  • Eagle Ridge Resort & Spa - The General LiDar

    After many yearly golf trips to Eagle Ridge Resort in Galena, IL I finally decided to try my hand on designing a course. The resort has 3 18 hole courses and eventually I plan on creating them all but for now I started with the premier course The General. You can find it by searching The General - ER(beta). Please let me know your thoughts this was created using LiDar data and many many hours adding grass and trees.

        Looks good so far. Some serious elevation change.

          I played the course tonight. Fun track. The elevation changes are really fun. Only problem I had was on the 17th green. Seemed to be too much elevation change at the hole. I putted about 1-2 feet past the hole from about 10 feet and it proceeded to roll back to me stopping about 1 foot in front of me. I did that twice before finally holing a putt. That was with soft greens and moderate speed. Overall, great job on making a fun course!

            Thanks for the feedback and I think I know exactly what happened. I couldn’t get the black tee box right from LiDar data so to get the yardage as close to scorecard as possible I moved the flag as deep into the green as I could.

            Ill make some adjustments. I’ve never played from the tips in real life we always play the gold tees

              I've made some updates after playing a few rounds, the course can now be found as The General - ER(beta 2).

              -Changed tee boxes on #2
              -Added grass/foilage on #4
              -Changed pin location on #7
              -Changed pin location on 17
              -Slowed the speed on fairways as the fairways are always very thick and pretty slow

              I've played this course quite a bit over the years and I think it's spot on and there won't be a beta 3. The next will be my final/official release.
