That's right, not all resorts are created equal. Take ours, for example. With thousands of acres of rolling hills and a sparkling lake in the midst of Illinois’ beautiful Galena Territory – within easy driving distance from Chicago – Eagle Ridge Resort & Spa has breathtaking views and natural beauty you just won’t find anywhere else.

We also have 63 holes of the Midwest’s finest golf – perfect enough for Golfweek to recognize ours among the “Best Resort Courses in America” – plus a full-service spa, award-winning dining, and recreation that ranges from horseback riding, hot-air ballooning, boating and fishing to winter sleigh rides, cross-country skiing, ice skating and sledding.

Our Illinois resort accommodations are unrivaled in variety and character – from charming Inn rooms to one to eight bedroom homes and villas, some pet-friendly! No wonder Eagle Ridge Resort & Spa is the perfectly natural choice for Illinois golf getaways, spa weekends, family vacations, fabulous weddings, first-class meetings and more.
