Egypt Valley Country Club's Ridge course, designed by Arthur Hills and opened in 1997, occupies rolling terrain in Ada, a suburb east of Grand Rapids. Hills, known for his work throughout Michigan and the Midwest, routed the layout across varied topography that includes wooded corridors, open meadow areas, and elevation changes that provide natural drama and strategic interest. The course takes its name from the ridgelines that define several holes and create both visual appeal and shotmaking challenges. The design reflects Hills's characteristic approach: generous fairway widths balanced by well-placed bunkers, greens with moderate undulation, and thoughtful use of native grasses and water features. The routing moves through different landscape zones, with holes playing along ridge tops offering views across the property, while others descend into lower-lying areas where water comes into play. The variety in hole character—some open and windswept, others tree-lined and intimate—gives the round a sense of progression and demands versatility from players. Egypt Valley operates as a private club serving the Ada and greater Grand Rapids community. The Ridge course complements the club's original Valley course, also designed by Hills, providing members with 36 holes of golf. The facility has hosted regional amateur events and serves as a home course for competitive players in western Michigan, though it maintains a primarily member-focused identity rather than seeking national tournament prominence.
