🇺🇸 Memphis, TN, USA
Designed by Ellis Maples



Ridgeway Country Club, a Memphis institution, whispers with tales of titans who once walked its fairways, most notably Cary Middlecoff who was a member. The parkland design, carved from the rolling terrain of Germantown, presents a deceptively gentle challenge. While not excessively long, the course demands strategic shot placement, rewarding thoughtful approaches over brute power. It's a course where a deft touch around the greens can often outweigh booming drives. The routing features dog legs that require a controlled fade.
Originally crafted by Arthur Hills, Ridgeway has seen subtle refinements over the years that protect the original intent, a testament to its enduring appeal. While not a regular host of major championships, Ridgeway has been a fixture on the Tennessee golf scene, welcoming countless amateur events and fostering a competitive spirit.
While not commanding international recognition, Ridgeway holds a revered place within the Memphis golfing community. It's a club steeped in tradition, where generations of families have honed their games.
