The Ridge 9 golf course at the Phoenix, Md., property offers nine holes of golf and 18 holes of disc golf and footgolf as part of a $2.5 million revitalization of the property. The layout will debut June 24 with a day-long event open to the public.
A three-in-one golf course will be the star attraction on June 24 when Hunt Valley Country Club, an Arcis Golf property in Phoenix, Md., unveils its newly renovated course, The Ridge 9.
Part of the transformation of Hunt Valley CC—which has undergone a $2.5 million revitalization of the entire property—The Ridge 9 offers nine holes of golf, along with 18 holes of two other games designed to be played on a traditional golf course: Disc golf and Footgolf.
The Ridge 9 debut will showcase the variety of “swing, sling and kick” sport activities the course now offers. This day-long event is open to the public from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. and includes a tee shot accuracy contest for golfers, Disc golf, and Footgolfers; a “dart game” Footgolf station; regulation Disc golf holes; a speed-golf contest for all three games; and more on-course fun for guests to try. A complimentary barbecue lunch will also be served.
“This is the only place on the East Coast where you will find a country club that has a championship golf course, plus Disc and Footgolf courses,” said General Manager Jon Vodehnal. “The upgrades to The Valley, our 18-hole championship layout, have enhanced shot values and improved playability. On The Ridge 9 we’re offering fun experiences the whole family can enjoy, no matter how they like to play.”
The Ridge 9 also allows Hunt Valley the ability to host different types of private events, from birthday celebrations to corporate outings and benefit golf tournaments, which all can explore new ways to enjoy golf, and the new golf courses.
The club’s 18-hole layout, The Valley, was redesigned in 2016 by Fry/Straka Global Golf Course Design. Additionally, a new practice range features two-elevated tiers with grass hitting surfaces and artificial turf. The range also was extended to accommodate a full array of clubs, benefitting golfers warming up and practicing as well as the club’s staff of PGA golf professionals and their students.
