About
The rolling countryside occupied by The Ridge Golf & Gardens (formerly known as Buck Ridge Golf Course) provides an ideal landscape for a round of golf. The nearby farmhouses add to the course's rustic appeal. The layout closely follows the natural contours of the land and trees, ponds, and landscaping were tactfully added to blend seamlessly with the natural terrain. There are a total of five ponds, which come into play on eight holes. A number of bunkers are strategically placed around the large greens and there are also rough areas to watch out for. Although the golf course is relatively young, the skillful use of the mature trees makes it seem as though it has been around much longer. The eighth hole, the layout's longest par 3, is one of the toughest. It plays directly over water to the right side of the green. Before playing The Ridge Golf & Gardens, golfers can warm up on the large practice green.

Scenic country course with several challenging holes
I like the course. Greens are nice. While a golfer should not be in the rough it's a bit more difficult when the rough consists of lots of CLUMPS of grass hiding the ball. Rough could use some grooming.
good course in bad shape
Played here a few times this year. Was always nice, now fairways are very patchy and a lot of spots are dead. Greens were still ok. They had sprayed something with green dye in it all over greens and tee boxes. I got it on a hot deal so I paid less than $1 per hole to ride, would not pay normal rates with current condition.
new jewel
I have played this course several times this summer. The new owners have made great improvements to the course. the greens are fantastic, but the summer heat and drought was tough on the fairways. I would say that next spring we could be seeing one of the best courses in the area.
Course needs attension
Fairways are in need of attension, greens are fair but slow
