THE NTB TAKE
Ridgewood feels like regular-guy golf.
No resort story. No "exclusive lifestyle." No need to pretend you're shopping for a house so they'll let you tee it up.
It's a public course that's been sitting outside Athens since 1968 and seems perfectly happy being a golf course.
Our call: exactly the kind of place we want in the middle of the site---not just buried underneath all the sexy mountain courses.
