Canyon Ridge at Canyon Ridge Golf Club

Canyon Ridge Golf Club sits in the northwest corner of Georgia near Rising Fawn, a small community in the Lookout Mountain region close to the borders with Alabama and Tennessee. The course was designed by Rick Robbins, a regional architect whose work appears primarily across the southeastern United States. The setting takes advantage of the area's distinctive topography, where the Cumberland Plateau creates dramatic elevation changes and wooded ridgelines characteristic of this part of Georgia.

The routing works through rolling to hilly terrain with significant grade variation, requiring golfers to navigate uphill and downhill shots throughout the round. Wooded corridors frame many holes, and the natural landscape provides both scenic variety and strategic challenge. The design incorporates the existing landforms rather than extensive earthmoving, giving the course a feel that reflects the region's rugged character.

Canyon Ridge serves primarily as a daily-fee facility, making it accessible to visitors exploring the Lookout Mountain area, which includes nearby attractions like Cloudland Canyon State Park. The course offers a straightforward golf experience shaped by its terrain, where club selection and course management become important given the elevation changes. For golfers traveling through northwest Georgia or the Chattanooga region, it represents a layout that showcases the area's natural topography in a golf setting.
