Great course

I love playing Ridgewood, the course was in great shape, not too difficult from the whites. The only issue I have is that you have to hit irons off the tee on par 5s.

Love this course!

Great course! Well maintained and The front 9 is the jewel. Shows you that it is a thinking man's game. You think you can carry it but, nope, you really need to lay up.

I've seen people mark it down for pace of play but I have never felt that it is excessively slow. Unfortunately, or fortunately, everybody plays at a different pace but the setting is so nice I always look forward to my next round.

Okay course

Mix of wide open and tight holes with wetlands and hazards. Par 3's are all lengthy and the Par 5's are fairly challenging and long. Better to play from the back tees since the fairways run out on several holes. Course was in halfway decent shape but the rough was too penalizing for a public course. Received a lot of bird's nest lies and flyers coming out of the rough. I'd give this course another chance however.

Front 9 in good shape.

Have mostly played front 9 only which is in good shape. Lots of marsh hazards so bring extra balls if you don't hit it straight. Back deck for a beer after a round is very nice.

A great challenge!

This was my first visit to this course, so learning where various hazards were located was a difficulty that would be easier with more experience.

The day we played there, followed several days of rain, and there was a lot of standing water, which complicated the intrinsic challenges.

Having said that, I would love to play this course again. The layout, condition of the greens and fairways, amenities and staff were all excellent.

Nice course but the 11th hole which is normally a par 5 was under construction and was playing as a par 3.

Great course, great prices

While parts of the course were a bit soft, it's no worse than any other course in the northeast in April.

This course is short, but challenging. Hazards everywhere. Sometimes you'll hit a 7 iron off the tee and a 6 iron on your second shot. Really interesting course.

Staff is awesome, nice folks.

Mountain views and a green course that is fun to play

Wonderful course to hone your skills while enjoying the mountain views. I play this course at least once a week in the summer and throughout the fall.

Very challenging course

I had read reviews on this course and decided to try it. It was great.We played from the blue markers, but it soon became apparent that we should have played from the whites.There are a lot of places that you have to carry over ponds, marshes,etc, that we struggled with. The white is about 700 yards closer overall and would've made a considerable difference.The course was in terrific shape, everyone was friendly and the 19th hole was very nice. I will definetly return.

Day with Son In Law

I had the opportunity to play with my son-in-law in October. Though I had played the blue tees in the past we decided to play from the white. The course is defined with ample yardage markers. I also appreciated the tee box hazard distance markers. The greens were quick yet received approach shots well. Pro shop and lounge staff were friendly and accommodating. Will be back again.

Ridgewood Golf Course

Course is in good condition and greens are in good shape as well...need to ranger the course better as there was a backup of 3 groups on #10 due to slow group stopping for food at the turn...this is the only negative I have regarding this course...need a ranger when it is busy

Fun, fast and challenging greens.

I found the course challenging and fun. Lots of hazarards so it required more thinking than usual. The greens were fun, fast and challenging too. I think the course fees are VERY reasonable, even without a GolfNow special rate. I have a 3" handicap and mlisay golf partner has a 12 handicap and we both enjoyed the course immensely.
