The Ridge is often considered the more dramatic and challenging of the two championship layouts, featuring bold elevation changes, deep bunkers, and some of the Trail’s best par-5s. Built on rugged, mined terrain, it plays through tree-lined corridors with sweeping views and forced carries. Many golfers rank it among the top RTJ courses for its visual intimidation and strategic demands.
