About this course

Ridgelea Country Club's South Course sits in the western reaches of Fort Worth, where the club has served the community since 1957. Ralph Plummer, a Texas architect known for his work across the Southwest in the mid-twentieth century, designed the original layout. The course was later renovated by Jay Morrish, who brought his experience from collaborations with major designers to refine the routing and update playing features for modern standards. The property occupies rolling terrain typical of north-central Texas, with mature tree cover framing fairways and elevation changes that add dimension to shot values. The layout moves through corridors of oak and pecan, with several holes playing across natural contours that require thoughtful club selection and course management. Water features come into play on select holes, and bunkering reflects both Plummer's original strategic intent and Morrish's later enhancements. Ridgelea operates as a traditional private club with multiple course options on the property. The South Course serves as one component of the club's golf offerings, providing members with variety in their regular play. The club maintains a presence in Fort Worth's country club landscape, hosting member competitions and social events throughout the year. The course reflects the evolution of Texas golf design from the postwar era through subsequent decades of refinement, offering a layout shaped by regional design sensibilities and the practical demands of year-round play in the North Texas climate.
