Copper Ridge Golf Club opened in 1999 in Davison, Michigan, a community northeast of Flint in the state's lower peninsula. The course was designed by Jerry Matthews, a Michigan-based architect who has worked extensively throughout the Great Lakes region. Matthews routed the layout across rolling terrain that features elevation changes uncommon in much of southeastern Michigan, giving the course its name and providing natural contours that shape play on many holes. The property incorporates wooded areas, open meadow sections, and several water features that come into play on multiple holes. The routing takes advantage of the site's topography, with fairways that move through corridors of mature trees and others that play across more exposed ground. Greens are typically elevated and protected by bunkering, requiring approach shots that account for both distance and trajectory. The design emphasizes strategic positioning from the tee, as angles into greens often reward players who navigate the fairways thoughtfully. Copper Ridge operates as a public facility and serves golfers from the Flint metropolitan area and surrounding communities. The course hosts regular member events and local competitions throughout the Michigan golf season. Its conditioning and playability have made it a recognized option among daily-fee courses in the region, offering a layout that challenges players across different skill levels without requiring extreme length or forced carries that exclude higher-handicap golfers.
