Cider Ridge

Cider is in great shape right now. If you and your buddies can snag one of their hot deals you won’t regret it. One of the prettiest and best courses in East Alabama.

Cider Ridge

Cider Ridge is very much a tale of 2 nines. The front nine is considerably easy and scorable. The front follows the famous Choccolocco Creek. It is very beautiful and not overly hard. The back 9 however, plays like a completely different course. It is much more target golf and is considerably more narrow. You have to hit it straight on the back. 16 is the hardest hole which allows ZERO room for error.

I’m by no means a great golfer and I play this course a lot. It is definitely a challenge, but it’s very enjoyable and the value is unbeatable, my favorite course no doubt in my area (East Central Alabama).

Very good course for the money

This course is very beautiful as well as a very good test of golf. Some holes are very tight but very fun to play. I was well pleased with the course condition. Twilight is very good deal. Hope you enjoy.

Nice course - poor grouping management

Course was in great shape considering the amount of rain during the previous days. Challenging course. Requires strategic play. The main issue is that this appears to be run like a good ole boys club. I had an afternoon to grab a round and decided to try Cider Ridge again since I had not played there in about a year. Being a single, I arrived 1hr 15m early with hopes to be paired up with less than a four-some. I asked at check-in if I could or would be paired with another group, and was told that there were no slots available. Ended up teeing off behind a group of 5, and in front of a two-some. The group of 5 allowed me to play through on hole 4. I then caught up with another two-some. It could be that they do not look kindly on people who grab Hot Deals.

It's a great course if you want a challenge. Just be prepared if you are not a local, that you will not receive consideration to make your round an enjoyable one.

Tony, I live in Birmingham, not a golfer, but I'm trying to get my parents to move here from San Antonio. Do any courses in the Bham area allow you to use your own cart? Does this one? My dad has a cart and wants to use it.

Amazing Experience

This place has everything you need! From pro shop to snack bar to practice facilities. Putting green chipping area, and driving range are worth the trip alone. The course is beautiful and has a nice mix of par 3’s 4’s and 5’s. Beautiful backdrop on every hole.
