Sand Ridge Golf Club, was designed by Tom Fazio and is located in Munson Township, Geauga County, Ohio, near Chardon. Construction on the course started in late 1995 and opened for its private members on May 18, 1998. The course was built on 370 acres (1.5 km2) of woods, pastures and wetlands located next to the Fairmount Minerals sandstone quarry in Chardon. It also contains the headwaters of both the Chagrin and Cuyahoga rivers.
Sand Ridge plays an average of 12,000 rounds a year and is currently ranked 60th in Golf Digest's 2007-08 top 100 courses in the United States (was ranked 52nd in 2005-06) and the sixth best course in Ohio. Sand Ridge ranked 31st on Golf Digest’s list of the 50 Greatest Private Retreats. Sand Ridge was the first course in Ohio, and one of a select few in the world, to be designated as a Certified Audubon International Signature Wildlife Sanctuary.
Sand Ridge merged with The Mayfield Country Club in 2006, and is now half of The Mayfield Sand Ridge Club. Having two courses available to the members has made the combination especially desirable in the Eastern Cleveland Private Club market.

A calling for colour calls with the wind
That’s grave and gay as grave and sea
Sleeping on either hand.”
