Frequently Asked Questions

When is the ideal time to play Ridgewood Golf Course?

We always recommend visiting Ridgewood in the late spring or early fall. You'll find the course in pristine condition, with comfortable temperatures perfect for walking, and the surrounding foliage offers a beautiful backdrop without the peak summer crowds.

Is Ridgewood a course I can comfortably walk, or should I plan on taking a cart?

Ridgewood features some significant elevation changes, particularly on the back nine, so we strongly advise taking a cart unless you're an avid walker looking for a serious workout. You'll conserve energy and enjoy the round more, especially when tackling those uphill approaches.

You absolutely have to experience the par-3 14th hole at Ridgewood; it's a stunner. It plays downhill to a green guarded by a natural creek in front and mature oaks behind, demanding precise club selection and offering incredible views of the valley.

How challenging is Ridgewood for a mid-handicap golfer?

Ridgewood offers a fair but firm test for the average golfer, primarily due to its undulating greens and strategically placed bunkers. You'll need to bring your A-game with your short irons and putting, but it's an incredibly rewarding round if you manage your expectations and play smart.

What's the best way to secure a tee time at Ridgewood, and what should I expect regarding green fees?

We recommend booking your tee time online through their website several weeks in advance, especially for weekend play, as Ridgewood is quite popular. Green fees are on the higher end, reflecting the course's excellent conditioning and premium experience, so budget accordingly for a memorable day.
