Saddleback Ridge Golf Course is a links-style facility located in Solon that opened in May 2000. Designed by architect Mark Kerr, the 18-hole course is built on a ridge that provides unique elevation changes and challenges [5](https://golfercollective.com/partner-courses/saddleback-ridge-golf-course/ #:~:text=Designed%20by%20renowned%20architect%20Mark%20Kerr%20and%20established%20in%202000). The layout is relatively open with wide fairways and few trees, making it accessible for various skill levels [4](https://18birdies.com/golf-courses/club/b7906cf0-86ac-11e4-8c28-020000005b00/saddleback-ridge-golf-course/reviews #:~:text=The%20course%20is%20very%20forgiving%20and%20not%20too%20challenging%20because%20of%20the%20lack%20of%20trees/bunkers%20and%20wide%20fairways). The facility changed ownership at the end of 2021 upon the retirement of founder Ron Rushek [1](https://clubandresortbusiness.com/saddleback-ridge-gc-transitions-to-new-ownership/ #:~:text=The%20Solon%2C%20Iowa%20club%2C%20which%20has%20been%20owned%20by%20Ron%20Rushek%20since%20opening%20in%20May%202000).
