High Ridge Country Club



About this course
High Ridge Country Club sits in Lantana, a small town in Palm Beach County along Florida's southeastern coast. Designed by Joe Lee and opened in the mid-1970s, the course reflects the architect's prolific work across Florida during that era, when he shaped dozens of residential club layouts that balanced playability with the state's flat terrain and water management needs. Lee's design at High Ridge works within the typical South Florida landscape, incorporating water hazards, bunkers, and modest elevation changes—by local standards—to create strategic interest on a property that lacks dramatic natural contours. The routing likely features the palm-lined fairways and lateral hazards common to the region, with greens that require careful approach play. Lee, who trained under Dick Wilson, became known for creating courses that served daily member play while still offering enough challenge for club competitions. The club operates as a private facility serving the Lantana community, part of the dense network of country clubs that characterize Palm Beach County's residential golf culture. High Ridge functions primarily as a members' club, with the course supporting regular play and social activities typical of Florida's established private clubs. The layout has likely seen updates and refinements over the decades to address agronomy, maintenance practices, and evolving membership preferences, though it retains the fundamental character of Lee's original design intent for the site.

Getting there
Most arrivals to High Ridge Country Club touch down at Palm Beach International Airport, a straightforward twenty-minute drive west into the heart of Lantana. The route follows Southern Boulevard through the gradual transition from coastal glitz to the quieter, tree-lined neighborhoods of central Palm Beach County, where High Ridge sits tucked among mature oaks and tropical landscaping. For private arrivals, Lantana Airport - a reliever field favored by those seeking discretion - lies practically adjacent to the club grounds, offering one of the shortest tarmac-to-first-tee commutes in South Florida.
