RIDGEWOOD COUNTRY CLUB
🇺🇸 Waco, TX, USA
Designed by Ralph Plummer



Ridgewood Country Club, nestled amid the rolling landscape north of Waco, embodies Texas golf heritage more than championship pedigree. This mid-century layout, hewn from classic Texas terrain, offers a distinct golfing experience.
Designed in the early 1950s, the original course presents a traditional parkland style characterized by generous fairways and mature trees that dictate strategy rather than penalizing errant shots. While the course lacks the length to challenge modern tour professionals, its subtly undulating greens and strategically placed bunkers keep accomplished players engaged. The layout rewards thoughtful shot placement and a deft short game, more than brute power.
Beyond the course itself, Ridgewood has cultivated a dedicated membership known for its convivial atmosphere and commitment to the game's traditions. It's a place where post-round discussions and casual rounds thrive, cementing the club's status as a beloved local fixture in the Central Texas golfing community.
