Designed by Kinney Golf Course Design in 2003, Buck Ridge Golf Course spans some of the state's most serene settings. The course is honed from rolling farmland, and, true to its Scottish links pedigree, tall trees play a minimal role in defining the routing of each hole. Expansive greens and wide-open fairways — both paved in lush bent grass — dominate the landscape, presenting different opportunities for shot-making than players would find at a typical course in the area.

Built to track the existing features of the land, Buck Ridge racks up a moderately lengthy distance of 6,725 yards from the back tees, with a course/slope rating of 70.0/113. And with four tee locations to choose from, it’s no surprise that this course caters to high-caliber golfers while still providing an enjoyable experience for high handicappers.

Other amenities include a public picnic area, driving range and manicured practice green, as well as year-round events, lessons and more. The pro shop is stocked with equipment and accessories from the game's best brands, and the Buck Ridge bar always serves up good food and great times.

The rural environment provides a home to many creatures, including hawks, squirrels, and the namesake deer. And just as these animals find Buck Ridge Golf Course to be a peaceful place to live, you'll surely find this gorgeous links-style design to be a peaceful place to enjoy the game.
