FAQ
Get answers to common questions about playing Ridgewood Country Club and what to expect.
Players often find Ridgewood Country Club technically exacting. At 135.0, it provides challenge without being extreme. The course rating of 73.0 reflects on scoring relative to par 70.
A 15 handicap golfer should consider tees closer to 6346 yards. The back tees extend to 6564.0 yards, which makes approach shots longer and scoring more challenging.
With a course rating of 73.0 and par 70, a mid-handicap golfer would typically score in the mid to high 80s. Stronger players aiming to break 70 must manage approach shots and avoid penalty strokes.
At a full length of 6564.0 yards, it balances distance with positional strategy.
Architecturally, it reflects a Parkland style. Overall, the setup will reward players who place the ball in safe positions far from hazards. Also, type of shot is more crucial rather than just trying to gain distance.
The combination of a slope rating of 135.0 and yardage reaching 6564.0 yards creates consistent pressure on approach shots. You will need to balance risk and reward, especially on longer par 4s and protected greens.
