the layout, Ridgemark offers a great course that is fun for all
skill levels. It has mature trees, large greens, water features
and a course that moves nicely up and down. There are some
houses that you have to contend with but it’s not as tight as
some courses. The course has something for every golfer:
length on some holes, carry-over water hazards on some
holes, and nice fl at fairways for most beginners. The wind
can blow a little in the afternoons so keep that in mind when
you are enjoying this great course. Rates: Weekday $48 –
Weekend rates $59. [831.637.8151/ridgemarkgolfclub.com]
