Galena is part of the driftless area which was missed by the glaciers 10,000 years ago leaving limestone bluffs and rock outcrops that make it look like Montana. The wildlife is incredible there. We stayed in a villa that backed up to the woods with a huge variety of birds. The villa we stayed in was clean and tastefully decorated with local nature photos. The reception staff was very helpful and friendly during our stay. We did not try the food or lounges only because we had brought groceries with us. I attached a few pictures of the wildlife to illustrate the beauty of the area. We highly recommend Eagle Ridge!

Pet friendly too and "Mutt Mitts" at the trail head if you need them. I only wished we could have found the trail that was closer to the water but the mid-day hike made it a very warm trip and a little buggy too. The open fields with wild flowers were so pretty and the grassy trail is well kept. We also really appreciated the benches, picnic tables and covered Pavillion along the way so you could stop in the shade and drink some water. Pretty views of the Mighty Mississippi, even though many of the views are a little obstructed. I'll bet it's pretty here in the Fall. The parking lot is a trip to get to on the narrow dirt/gravel driveway but it is not too far back from the road. A lot of interesting scenery on the way to this trail on Blackjack road.

It was strange to find myself in Dubuque, as I'm not from the area, and I don't pass through very…read moreoften. But in this case, a few of us were "meeting in the middle" from various cities to have a little golf outing. We chose Bunker Hill Golf Course for our event. We had heard from friends that yeah, we'll have fun there. Upon checking in, we were greeted by very friendly staff. The facilities were impressive inside, including a nice little pro shop, a big dining area, and a well-equipped bar with good food choices. It was a great start to a great day. Lingering around teebox #1, we got a chance to have a friendly chat with some local retirees that golf there daily - it was a great representation of what you'll find at Bunker Hill - good people, relaxed environment. The course is tucked into the center of Dubuque, but you'd never know it while you're golfing. The course has plenty of elevation changes - up/down as well as side-to-side. This is the foundation for Bunker Hill's character - and you know it if you've played it. It's not the longest course, which would make you think "oh, it must be easy". Slow down there. What this course lacks in length, it makes up for with tilted fairways and fast, undulating greens. Putting is a big challenge here (was the pin placement deemed "hardest ever" for us? Perhaps!). The fairways, and general hole layout, can affect you as well. You can be staring down a straight, "simple" hole, but the tilted fairway can funnel your ball to an unexpected location. Thus, "course management" is key. You may want to lay up - or go for it - based on your game and the hole's layout. I know that now... The fall colors were fantastic - a bonus for us this time of year. With ample trees, however, fall golf make it more interesting finding your ball. While that's true for any course, it's more pronounced at Bunker Hill. Like I said, the fairways can funnel your ball around - you may think it's in one area, but it may be 30+ yards away from where you're looking. Throw in fall leaves, and you may spend more time hunting for your ball than actually golfing! (or so it felt like it). We're planning to do a meet-up in Dubuque for further golf outings. Bunker Hill will certainly be on the menu. Thanks to the staff for a fun day!

I recommend wearing good hiking shoes in this area, as you kinda have to forge your own path through the thick bush. I was able to do it in sandles but I wouldn't recommend that. My Beagles are hunters and love this kind of a park...and since I'm a wild child I probably would do it barefoot if i had to, since these dog areas are rare and always make my heart sing. Good quality doggie bags provided, some shade and a picnic table in each area. The water fountain is in the common entrance area of the three parks, so that was a little different, but it was thought out well and works fine. There's a porter potty for humans and a small parking lot. It's within a forested area and away from houses or traffic. I think it was built on $62,000 of donations and that in itself is pretty cool!

In my opinion this course is better than Trump National in Palos Verdes, California and Pelican Hills. There is not one negative comment from me. Greens were a little difficult, but I like the challenge, fairways are in excellent condition. Not a yellow spot or wet spot on the course. This course is a must play and needs to be on your bucket list to play. Staff is friendly and very accommodating. Members; there should be no complaints. I hope you all know you have one of the best golf courses in the country.
