This course, formerly known as Canyon Ridge, opened in 2005 to regional acclaim in large part due to several holes that crept out to the edge of Lookout Mountain in northwest Georgia, peering down to a valley floor several hundred feet below. Additionally, many are equipped with clubhouses, restaurants, lounges, resorts with swimming pools and driving carts for vacationers to have a perfect golf-themed holiday.
