    Ridges is such a unique putting course! The terrain features make it way more interesting than a flat practice green. Love that it's free with lunch at the grill.

    Perfect spot to work on putting before our tee time. The Blue Ridge-inspired slopes really challenge your read. Beautiful setting behind the clubhouse.

    Great addition to Birdwood. We grabbed drinks and spent an hour on Ridges with the kids. They loved the varied terrain and it's a nice way to introduce them to golf.
