Potential

I definitely see the potential in this course. Greens were just ok and bunkers were sketchy at best

Always a Gem

This place gets better and better every time I play it. And if you haven’t tried the food you are missing out. Maybe the most underrated part of the club and that’s saying a lot because it’s all a 10 out of a 10

Fun Course - No GPS on Cart or Layout on Card

Great Course, good layout but challenging without a cart GPS, pin placement or course layout.

Driving range was out of balls…

Greens were in good shape

Some bunkers were extremely wet.

Some tee boxes were so compacted that you can’t get your tee in the ground (played from Blue)

Excellent Golf Experience!

This course has seen significant improvement in the last few years! Absolutely stunning course with breathtaking views from start to finish. The course is in excellent shape. Greens roll true, fairways are pristine and the staff goes above and beyond to make you feel welcome. One of the best golf experiences anywhere in Alabama!

Absolutely love this course and continue to see regular improvements. Practice facilities are well kept and the staff is amazing. There is no better course for the price and I've been playing for 50 years, living in all states.

The Ridge

We play this course often and always enjoy it. They have put lots of work into making it all around better place to play. Best value of any course we play in north Alabama, green have been in great shape this year.

Just as described

This course provides a good challenge for me as a very new beginner (it was my 8th round of golf ever), but it was still fun with a beautiful backdrop, shady spots, and wonderful service. I loved the fact that the driving range was free for warm-up before your tee time. I didn’t know so I didn’t arrive early enough to take advantage, but will next time.

Hot weather

Hot and no access to water once on course.

Very disappointed that on a hot July day in Alabama that neither one of the water fountains at the two "comfort" stations worked. Additionally, the men's restroom at one of the stations was unavailable. The plumbing needs fixing to compete with Robert Jones courses.

Lacked water and usable toilet facilities on course

Course has challenging layout but has bad slope erosion on some holes. Bunkers still had water after dry period. Bunker sand was poor. Lacks signs directing to holes for 1st and 10th from clubhouse. Cart path upheavals are frequent. Played on hot humid day and no water on course for refill, luckily I did not need to use facilities. Disappointing.
