RIDGEVIEW COUNTRY CLUB

This Minnesota gem carves through rolling hardwood forests with elevation changes that demand precise club selection and reward strategic thinking over brute force. The back nine's signature par-3 16th plays across a natural ravine where Lake Superior's proximity creates swirling winds that can turn a confident 7-iron into a humbling search party. What sets this layout apart is how architect respect for the existing topography created genuine risk-reward scenarios—particularly on the downhill par-5 13th where aggressive lines court both eagles and disasters.
