The W. C. Bradley Co. has hired Mosaic Clubs & Resorts to manage its Maple Ridge Golf Club, a semi-private club tucked in the Chattahoochee Valley on the northern edge of Columbus, Ga.
“The Maple Ridge family has the highest expectations for Mosaic’s ability to enhance the overall club experience for our members and guests,” said Mat Swift, president and COO of W. C. Bradley Co., the Columbus-based developer of the Maple Ridge community. “Maple Ridge has long been recognized as the best place to live in Columbus and with Mosaic’s help it will continue to be the best place to gather, play, share a meal and nurture friendships.”
Architect Mike Young designed Maple Ridge and it opened in 1993 as the centerpiece of the 700-acre Maple Ridge master-planned development. The 6,586-yard, par 72 course underwent a significant renovation in 2005 by architect Craig Shriner and 1987 Masters Champion, Larry Mize, a longtime Columbus resident.
Mize began the renovation by analyzing the playing characteristics of every hole, hitting shots from various strategic positions and making recommendations for enhancing the golf experience. Shriner then took over, re-designing or moving several greens, adding tee boxes and re-routing a few holes.
“Mosaic is very gratified to add such an outstanding club to our roster of managed properties around the country,” said Mosaic President Steve Willy. “We certainly will strive to maintain proper stewardship of Maple Ridge as it enters its third decade of welcoming the people of Columbus to the club.”
Mosaic, previously Affiniti Golf Partners, is an Atlanta-based golf management company whose partners have broad experience building, owning, and operating more than 200 clubs worldwide. The company currently manages private, resort, and daily fee clubs in the southeast and the Bahamas, with more than 1,400 employees.
