Set in Plymouth County on Massachusetts' South Shore, Ridder Farm Golf Course occupies land that once served as a dairy farm operated by the Ridder family, whose descendants have carried the property through four generations.
The course came together in two stages. Henry Holhman laid out the front nine, which was built in 1959. Work on the back nine, designed by Geoffrey St. John Cornish, began in 1964 and was finished the following year, bringing the layout to its full 18 holes.
Course policies limit play to golfers carrying their own bag and clubs, with caddies and spectators not permitted. Riders in golf carts must be at least 10 years old, and anyone operating a cart must be 16 or older with a valid driver's license.
