The Ridge Golf & Gardens

About The Ridge Golf & Gardens

You'll find this public track carved through rolling central Ohio farmland about 30 miles northwest of Columbus, offering surprisingly solid golf at modest green fees. The layout takes advantage of natural elevation changes that are rare in this part of the state, with several holes playing dramatically uphill or downhill through mature tree lines. What sets The Ridge apart from typical municipal fare is the genuine strategic interest built into many holes, doglegs that reward good positioning, well-placed bunkers that actually come into play, and greens with enough subtle movement to make putting interesting without being unfair. The conditioning punches above its weight class for a public course, particularly the greens which roll true and hold approach shots well. Walking is encouraged here, which tells you something about both the routing and the ownership's philosophy. This isn't just about moving carts and selling beer. At 4.4 stars from over 250 reviews, it's clearly resonating with regular players who appreciate honest golf design and reasonable prices. For the money, you'd be hard-pressed to find better value golf within an hour of Columbus.
