Gold Medal for Silver Ridge

The course was in great shape so early in the season. We had snow in the past week or two, but you’d never know it once on the course. Nature provided a gorgeous day for golf. Pace of play was perfect; our round was done in 3 1/2hr. No one pushed us and we never waited at any tee. The only thing that needed improvement was my game. But with a few more days like this MY early season rust will be gone.

Great value ! Beautiful course.

This course is carved thru the trees of NW Illinois in the Rock river valley. It is very scenic and has cliff shots, water, mature trees and hills. It’s challenging but very playable. Greens were in great shape as were the fairways and tees.

didn't expect something so nice for the price.
