Great course - Slow play

We really enjoyed the course but for the slow play. We had to wait at every shot from hole 5 thru 18 as the foursome in front would not let a twosome play thru. There was not a ranger on the course.

Beautiful!!!

The Ridges has become one of my all time favorite courses to play. Are there longer courses, yes. Are there better lay outs, yes. BUT, the combination of staff friendliness, course conditions and majestic setting, make this golfing destination my course of choice.

Diamond in the Rough

I love playing this course. Little bit of a drive for me and kind of back in a hole but once you play it you'll be back. Even with lack of rain the fairways and greens are in great shape. Rough is challenging as it should be. Bunkers are fluffy. Just a real good course.

Doing a great job

I have played this course numbers of times over the years. The property owners of the "Ridges at Mountain Harbor" have taken ownership of the golf course, as it should be, and have done a great job bringing back the beauty and playability of the gold course. The course is enjoyable and affordable. If you find yourself in the area, this is a must play.

An enjoyable golf experience with good friends!

I have been coming to Hayesville for 10 years for vacation, and was encouraged to play The Ridges since my first year here. For those who are unaware, one year, the owners had to keep the course going and it was a little rough! Now the course is in great shape, the staff was courteous, friendly and helpful, and we had a great time on a wonderful course. Thank you, Ridges; I will be back!

Great setting, good shape and enough challenge

The course was in good shape and the golf holes are challenging but not too tough. Weather when we played was good but was getting sticky when we finished.

Great golf course.

This is a really fun golf course to play. The views are fun to take in as you play up and around a little valley that looks like a village from the front nine to the back. Course is well taken care of, staff is always friendly, and the restaurant is worth staying for a meal. The course sets up well for every level of player and is fair in terms of difficulty.

The Ridges

I have played this golf courses many times over the years. And the past year they have been making many improvements to the golf course. Which makes it a lot better to play. I would recommend this golf course for all handicaps. I will definitely keep playing this golf course

Challenging to say the least

The Ridges is a course that I have wanted to play for some time and was told by my playing partner it was extreme. That turned out to be slightly understated. The course, views and facilities were all good to excellent. I found it challenging and local knowledge helps a lot. The issue I had was that the greens left something to be desired, whether it was the sizes (small in some cases that bordered on very small) to pin and green elevation position. Green were in good shape probably because they were firm and appeared not many were been hit. The elevations and slopes were borderline ridiculous (like playing at a mini golf course) thus if you missed the put uphill, the ball would roll past where you were and off the green in some cases. Legal?

But I like to say that I'm sure with the current repairs underway and now that spring/summer are upon us, the course will return to its excellent ratings like before. This is a course where you will need a good iron and short game to have a chance. I will be back in the summer to play!!

Mr.

My wife and I have played this course several times and have always had a good experience. In times of high rainfall the course has a few wet holes, but they will close the course if it is too wet.

Course Layout is Lacking but Course Condition Good

Greens were in very good condition. I am not a huge fan of the layout but the course is in much improved condition over what it was several years ago. The only complaint I have is with respect to a couple of the pin locations. On at least one hole, I had an uphill 10' putt and the putt rolled up even to the hole and rolled all the way back down to me and back off the fringe of the green.
