About

The Ridge (formerly know as Marsh Ridge Golf Course) spans acres of unspoiled marshland, tumbling across dramatic elevation changes that provide tees that are as high as the treetops. The course was carefully carved from mature forests and with trees framing most of the holes, accuracy is essential. Although the trees provide a peacefully secluded feel, the hilltops still allow for panoramic views of the surrounding countryside. The five par-3 holes are especially scenic. Strategically placed bunkers come into play throughout and there are water hazards on four holes. The par-3 14th is one of the most challenging holes thanks to a triple-tiered green that is narrow and deep. It is followed by the golf course's longest hole at 483 yards. Although it is seemingly narrow, the hole is more forgiving than it appears. There will definitely be challenges in store on this course but it is also quite playable.
