Todd and Michele Goska purchased the Ridges Golf Course in October of 1995 with the intention of improving both the golf course and the facilities. Todd had played The Ridges from childhood into college and beyond. He had always dreamed of owning and operating this unique and beautiful golf course, so when the opportunity arrived, he and Michele made the dream come true.
The Goska family, along with their staff, has continued to update the course and its facilities over the years. The Ridges now includes three banquet rooms, Coach’s Corner Bar & Grill, and a newly renovated pro shop. Over the course of the Goska’s ownership, the golf course layout has been revised to incorporate a new starting hole, and many changes have been made to improve the course’s playability.
The Ridges strives to create a challenging but fair test of your golf game without making you break the bank!
Make no mistake, the real star of the show at The Ridges Golf Course is the challenging, yet enjoyable golf layout. Visitors will find a high quality of play at The Ridges beginning on the first tee to the 18th green. Get an eagle on the 18th, and proudly add your name to the base of our beautiful saw-carved wooden eagle as you finish your round.
The front nine gradually tightens as it finishes up with the narrow tree-lined ninth fairway. The par-5 ninth hole will give you a taste of what you are in store for as you turn to the back nine. The back nine begins on an actual ridge with a tee shot that overlooks towering pines, the Buena Vista Creek, and the flourishing valley floor more than 80 feet below. The back nine is wooded and tight. Ask our members, and they’ll tell you that at The Ridges, it is often best to leave the driver in your bag when you make the turn. The front nine has some challenging holes, but we say this with a smile; the back nine is undeniably different. We can’t wait for you to see it!
