This course was built on a bluff overlooking Lake Michigan and Crystal Lake. The tree-lined fairways are extremely hilly, so expect many uneven lies. One small pond comes into play on hole #8, a 550-yard, par 5. In 1991, the club hosted a Senior Amateur Event Tournament. "Golf Digest" rated this course 13th best out of "America's 100 Greatest Courses" for 1995-96, and 18th best for 1997-98. The same publication rated it the 2nd "Best in State" course for the years 1995 through 1998. In addition, "GOLFWEEK" awarded it 4th in the category of "America's Best Classical Courses" for 1997, 5th in 1998 and 7th in 1999. "GOLF Magazine" rated it 8th among the "Top 100 Courses in the U.S." for 1995 and 1997, and 11th in 1999. Geoffrey Cornish and Brian Silva redesigned the course in 1985.

Apple Ridge Country Club
"Joe Welsh"
A very easy course, it probably makes the membership feel good about their game. I shot a very mundane 2 under and did not strike the ball that well. There is not much that can be done with this very boring layout, however they could focus on the irregular and unkempt greens. The one star would be for the adequate service at the clubhouse.

"Back In time"
This is one of the great old valley courses. Ancient oaks line the fairways kept to Championship standards. This is a must-play for all golfers in the immediate area. The price is ideal, the employees are pleasant, and the course is challenging and fair.

"challenging"
A challenge to any golfer. Play it from the back tees and it is all you can handle. Seems like your hitting the ball uphill all day long. A true test of your golfing ability! A well maintained golf course with quick greens.
