Ridgewood at Ridgewood Golf Course

Ridgewood Golf Course sits in Parma, a suburb southwest of Cleveland in northeastern Ohio. Designed by Sandy Alves, the course serves the greater Cleveland metropolitan area as a public facility. The routing occupies terrain typical of the region's glacially influenced landscape, with modest elevation changes and mature tree corridors that define playing corridors and frame individual holes.

The course operates within the municipal golf infrastructure common to Ohio's urban and suburban communities, where public access facilities provide recreational golf to a broad demographic. Parma's location within the Cleveland suburbs places Ridgewood among a network of courses serving both local residents and visitors to the region. The layout reflects mid-to-late twentieth-century design principles for accessible public golf, balancing playability for recreational golfers with enough strategic interest to engage more accomplished players.

Northeastern Ohio's climate produces a traditional playing season from spring through fall, with course conditions influenced by the area's lake-effect weather patterns from nearby Lake Erie. The tree-lined character and parkland setting are consistent with established courses throughout the region, where mature vegetation and rolling terrain create the visual and strategic framework for play. Ridgewood functions as a community amenity within Parma's recreational offerings, providing straightforward golf in a suburban context.
