Hawks Ridge Course
Ball Ground, GA, USA




Hawks Ridge isn’t merely a golf course; it’s a sanctuary conceived from a singular vision: to provide its select membership with a refuge entirely dedicated to the purity of the game. Nestled in the rolling foothills north of Atlanta, the course embodies a modern interpretation of classic parkland design. Architect Bob Cupp carved Hawks Ridge from heavily wooded terrain, emphasizing strategic shot-making over sheer distance. While generous fairways offer a welcoming appearance, the course subtly favors a left-to-right ball flight, challenging players to carefully consider angles of approach. The layout places a premium on precise iron play to undulating greens, many subtly guarded by expertly placed bunkers that demand respect. Hawks Ridge remains resolutely private, fostering a tight-knit community of passionate golfers. This exclusivity, combined with its challenging yet fair design, has cultivated a low-key atmosphere where members can escape the pressures of everyday life and immerse themselves in the game they love. An interesting side note: Hawks Ridge is known for its annual Member-Guest tournament that attracts a highly competitive field, further cementing its reputation as a haven for serious golfers.
