Ridge Country Club: Ridge

My son is a member. Very nice club. Friendly staff members who remember me on my annual visits. Beautiful old course that is always in great shape.

Beautiful classic country club that takes care of it's members and they are friendly to vendors

Ridge is an astonishingly good, below-the-radar, golf course on the south side of Chicago. It will never get the accolades of its neighbors, like Beverly Country Club or Flossmoor, but for my money, RCC is every bit as good. I've played each of the other courses, and many more of the "best" in Chicago, but RCC more than holds its own. I've played RCC twice now, and on both occasions, it was absolutely pristine! Fairways are totally immaculate and greens roll fast and true. Ridge CC is not long by any measure....the tips only go back to about 6300. But bunkers are well placed and love to eat golf balls off the tee. Although it's not a forest, there is plenty of lumber on either side of those immaculate fairways.  So bring your "A" game...you're gonna need it. But don't forget to just enjoy this excellent course.

Absolutely great course and the staff are just as nice!

Not enough parking, frenzy environment, not relaxing. Too many happenings all at once btwn golfing, club house soiree, kids' crafting event, pool water polo. No cash or credit card accepted at club house, guests cannot make purchases without a member. Weird business strategy.
