Ridgefields Golf & Athletic Club

Frequently Asked Questions

Is Ridgefields Golf & Athletic Club open to the public, or is it a private course?

We've played here, and while it's primarily a member's club, you can often secure a tee time as a guest if you're staying with a member or participating in an event. Call ahead to inquire about guest play options and any associated fees - it's worth the effort for this track.

What's the standout feature of Ridgefields' golf course, and how challenging is it for different handicaps?

You'll find the course truly shines with its immaculate bentgrass greens and the strategic use of water on several holes, particularly on the back nine. It's a fair test for mid-handicappers from the white tees, but the championship tees will certainly challenge even the best ball-strikers.

When is the best time of year to visit Ridgefields Golf & Athletic Club for optimal playing conditions?

We highly recommend visiting in late spring or early fall; the weather is usually perfect, and the course is in peak condition. Summers can get quite warm and humid, so an early morning tee time is your best bet if you're playing then.

What other amenities does Ridgefields Golf & Athletic Club offer that a golf visitor might appreciate?

Beyond the fantastic golf, you'll find a well-equipped fitness center and excellent tennis courts, which are great for a pre-round warm-up or post-round cool-down. The dining options are also top-notch, perfect for grabbing a meal or drink after your round.

What's the typical pace of play like at Ridgefields, and what kind of atmosphere can I expect?

We've always found the pace of play to be very reasonable, especially on weekdays, allowing you to enjoy your round without feeling rushed. The atmosphere is generally friendly and welcoming, a true reflection of its local community feel rather than a stuffy resort course.
