Ridgewood Golf Club in Athens, Tennessee, opened in 1968 and was laid out by course architect William W. Amick, who routed the holes to work with the surrounding landscape. Rolling hills, mature trees and scenic fairways shape the property and give the course its character.
The layout plays to a course rating of 71.1 and a slope rating of 119, a balance intended to suit newcomers to the game as well as experienced players working on their skills. Over the decades the club has served as a gathering place for golfers across the region, and membership options are available for those who play often.
