The Ridges Golf Course

The Ridges Golf Course in Wisconsin Rapids stands as a testament to the diverse beauty and challenge of golf. With its recent upgrades in 2022 and 2023, this course is not just a destination for golf enthusiasts but a journey through two distinctly different worlds of golf.

Upon arriving at The Ridges, players are greeted with a front nine that unfolds with a blend of strategic man-made designs and natural aesthetics. This part of the course, known for its gradually tightening fairways, culminates in the ninth hole—a challenging par 5 that serves as a perfect introduction to the back nine's dramatic shift in style and challenge.

As you make your way through The Ridges, you’ll notice that both the front and back nine offer distinctly different challenges and playing experiences—as the course’s motto goes, ‘Man made the front nine; God created the back.’ This motto encapsulates the essence of The Ridges, where the front nine's crafted layout contrasts sharply with the back nine's natural ruggedness. Perched atop a ridge, the back nine overlooks the sprawling pines, the Buena Vista Creek, and a valley floor that lies 80 feet below, offering a golf experience that feels almost divine.

In keeping with its commitment to providing top-tier amenities, 2023 welcomes new electric Club Car Golf Carts to The Ridges. These carts, designed for both environmental friendliness and golfer convenience, feature the latest in golf cart technology and are a testament to The Ridges' dedication to modernizing the game.

After navigating the front nine, golfers can relax at the newly opened Bunker Bar. Located right below the pro shop and adjacent to the new outdoor patio, this bar offers panoramic views of the 10th fairway and Buena Vista Creek, making it the ideal spot for a refreshing break. The outdoor patio itself is a marvel, now complete with large natural gas firepits and ample seating. Overlooking the 10th fairway and creek, it's a picturesque setting for dining or enjoying a few drinks while watching fellow golfers embark on their back-nine adventure.

For those seeking a thrill, The Ridges introduces the Hole In One Challenge on the 11th hole. This 100-yard par 3, equipped with live video coverage, offers golfers a chance to win big and have their triumph immortalized on video.

The Pavilion Banquet Hall, a favorite for events and weddings, has been recently revamped, adding another layer of elegance and charm to The Ridges' already impressive offerings.

The Ridges Golf Course is a place where every round is a new adventure, and every visit feels like coming home. With its distinct front and back nines, state-of-the-art amenities, and welcoming atmosphere, it's a course that beckons golfers back time and again for unforgettable experiences.
