Stone Ridge
Players will notice an immediate similarity to the Inverness Club (the most notable club in the region) when they tee off at Stone Ridge Golf Club, as the No. 1 and No. 10 tees briefly share a common area of fairway. After that, however, Arthur Hills’ design personality comes to the fore, featuring a number of challenging shots bringing ponds and large bunkers into play.
Interestingly, players will immediately challenge the No. 2 handicap hole, a par four that stretches 430 yards. They won’t meet the only hole ranked tougher until No. 18, when facing a 450-yard par four that features a long pond along its entire left side.
Another big difference between this and Inverness: Stone Ridge is a public access course. Hills has created quite a few around his home state of Ohio, and Stone Ridge is certainly the best near Toledo, the city from where Hills bases his design firm.
