Eagle Ridge Golf Club of Glennie

Designed by Rupert Smith, make no mistake, this is a challenging golf course, set near the National Huron Forest. Many holes are intimidating with elevated greens and large rolling hills. Many fairways entertain blind shots to reach greens which are well maintained, but often have gravity defying slopes. Three holes on the front nine require elongated second shots across intimidating deep river ravines. The back nine holes are very picturesque, and surrounded by attractive woods, shrubs and trees which can gobble-up errant golf balls. High handicapped players may be discouraged by playing Eagle Ridge. Interesting that the area is surrounded by low lying, flat farm lands, but the original owners found a unique rolling terrain which held promise to house a beautiful a golf course. Distance away from well populated towns is its only handicap which makes it easier to make reservations. Low handicapped players will be challenged. The only negative is that while the greens are well maintained with Bent Grass, the fairways however are manicured by primarily Kentucky Blue Grass and tend to be very weedy without containment.

Eagle Ridge Golf Club of Glennie is under new ownership. New owners Jerome and Barb Orefice re-opened the course in July 2011. Rates for the 2011 season are just $15 for 18 holes w/cart. The Caddy Shack Restaurant is now open on site.
