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.

First Time Playing

Nice Course for the money

Had a great time with my Dad there on Fathers Day, overall great experience. Couple tough tee shots, which would of been fine if I was driving the ball good that day, but I wasn't. Couple traps had a different consistency than the rest which caught me on one hole. Not sure if it was the rain we got the night before but mosquitos were out, they were fine the front 9, which is the farthest away from the marsh area, bring a little spray and it would be fine, we just didn't have any. I love coming down to Gaylord to play golf and I'd definitely come here again.

Seen better days, inexpensive but abused, still has potential with help

Has potential to be a nice place but just a bit too beat up. Tee boxes looked like they were hit by land mines. Too bad, cause it really could be a nice place to play if it were better maintained. Prices are great but value lacks because of condition. Disappointed visit.
