Ridgewood Country Club

Ridgewood Country Club sits in Moultonborough, New Hampshire, in the Lakes Region near the western shore of Lake Winnipesaukee. The course was designed by Phil Wogan and George Sargent, both of whom were active in New England golf course architecture during the early-to-mid twentieth century. Sargent, a professional golfer who won the 1909 U.S. Open, transitioned into course design and worked on several layouts in the Northeast, often collaborating with other designers or serving as a consulting professional. The routing takes advantage of the rolling, wooded terrain characteristic of central New Hampshire, with elevation changes that provide variety in stance and shot requirements. The property features mature trees framing fairways and greens that reflect the design sensibilities of the era, emphasizing strategic placement over length. Water features and natural contours shape several holes, requiring thoughtful club selection and course management. Ridgewood functions as a private club serving the local community and seasonal residents drawn to the Lakes Region. The course offers a traditional New England golf experience, with a layout that rewards accuracy and local knowledge. The setting provides views of the surrounding hills and forests, and the club maintains a low-key, family-oriented atmosphere typical of regional country clubs in New Hampshire. The course remains a fixture of golf in the area, appealing to members who value classic design and the natural beauty of the Lakes Region landscape.
