Sand Ridge is situated in the foothills of the Appalachian Mountains featuring gently rolling countryside, dramatic elevation changes, unique wetlands, and a plentiful mix of mature hardwoods. According to designer Tom Fazio:<br> <br> “Sand Ridge was designed to look like an old style golf course, one that had been there for a long time. . . It's only logical that sand would be a dominant feature of the course, situated as it is adjacent to a sand quarry. The 350 acres I’ve been given here is one of the best pieces of land for a golf course I’ve seen in the country. Sand Ridge is a spectacular golf course . . . golf at its finest.”
