The Ridge Club

The Ridge Club is an 18-hole, par 71 golf course in Sandwich, Massachusetts, designed by renowned architect Robert Von Hagge. The course features distinctive fescue-covered mounds and significant elevation changes throughout, creating a challenging and visually striking layout that accommodates golfers of all skill levels.

The design incorporates five par 3s, five par 5s, and eight par 4s with multiple tee options for different abilities. Signature features include the island green at hole 17 and a notable tree featured in the club's logo that plays a role in hole 3's strategy. The course is characterized by strategic bunkering, including prominent pot bunkers protecting several greens, and water hazards that come into play on select holes.

The layout demands precision from the tee, particularly on dogleg holes, with elevation changes affecting both tee shots and approach play. Hole 12 is the longest at 574 yards from the black tees, while hole 8 is rated as the most difficult. The course's architecture emphasizes shot-making variety and strategic decision-making, with subtle green slopes and undulation patterns adding complexity to the putting surfaces. The scenic routing includes memorable approach shots and varied terrain throughout the round.
