Welcome to Eagle Ridge Resort and Spa in Galena Illinois.
WHEN EAGLE RIDGE RESORT & SPA in Galena was sold in 2019, new owner Mark Klausner immediately put together a punch list to assess, what issues he had to address. To get the resort back on track as soon as possible.
As the list came together, one of the glaring issues was the condition of the equipment used to maintain the grounds of the resort.
But as a 63 hole golf facility, it had become difficult to maintain the golf courses, and some area’s had grown out of control because there was no way to control them.
AFTER BEING INFORMED of the status of the mowers and other equipment, Klausner immediately took action. Because when the newest piece of equipment you have is just shy of it’s 10th birthday, it’s time for an overhaul.

KLAUSNER made no secret of his plans to keep the best golf destination property in Illinois, rebuilt Illinois style, with Illinois companies.
NOTHING RUNS LIKE A DEERE, and that’s Moline Illinois based company John Deere.
Klausner and his grounds team needed equipment that would run, and put the property and golf courses back in shape.

JOHN DEERE is the leading supplier of equipment to golf courses around the world. They are also the official equipment supplier to the PGA Tour, and the network of PGA Tour (TPC) golf facilities.
Including the John Deere Classic at TPC Deere Run in Silvis Illinois.
So Klausner and Eagle Ridge Resort entered into a new three-year equipment deal with John Deere. So the great news for golfers is that a new conditioning program is underway on the resorts 63 holes. With a new fleet of John Deere equipment that’s a three million dollar investment over three years.
The Eagle Ridge Resort golf maintenance staff is hard at work with it’s new fleet of John Deere golf equipment.
So when your enjoying your next round of golf at Eagle Ridge.
Because of the great playing condition your finding on the golf course. Think about the investment to make golf rounds, even more enjoyable.
A top notch fleet of golf course maintenance equipment goes a long way.
NOTHING RUNS LIKE A DEERE and as a result, the 63 holes of golf at Eagle Ridge are back running much better than they were 2 years ago.
