Autumn Ridge Golf Club sits in the small town of Valders in eastern Wisconsin's Manitowoc County, roughly twenty miles northwest of Sheboygan. Designed by Ernie Schrock and opened in the mid-1990s, the course occupies gently rolling farmland characteristic of the region's glacial topography. Schrock, a Wisconsin-based architect who has designed several courses across the upper Midwest, routed the layout to incorporate natural elevation changes and wooded corridors that frame many of the holes. The course plays through a mix of open and tree-lined terrain, with mature hardwoods—particularly along the property's ridgelines—providing autumn color that gives the club its name. Water features appear on several holes, and the routing takes advantage of the land's natural contours to create variety in shot requirements and visual interest. The design reflects a straightforward, accessible approach typical of daily-fee courses built in smaller Wisconsin communities during that era. Autumn Ridge serves primarily as a public facility for golfers in Manitowoc and surrounding counties. The club offers standard amenities including a clubhouse with food and beverage service. The course provides a representative example of regional golf architecture from the 1990s, balancing playability for a range of skill levels with enough strategic interest to reward thoughtful course management.
