RIDGLEA COUNTRY CLUB - CHAMPIONSHIP GOLF COURSE

The rolling terrain through Fort Worth's Trinity River bottoms creates natural elevation changes that architect Press Maxwell exploited brilliantly in 1957, with doglegs that reward local knowledge and punish wayward drives into towering pecans. Maxwell's strategic bunkering around multi-tiered greens demands precision approach shots, particularly on the risk-reward par-5 15th where water guards the putting surface. This daily-fee gem offers legitimate championship conditioning without the pretense, making it a favorite among locals who appreciate old-school Texas golf architecture.
