About The Ridgewood Country Club

Ridgewood Country Club traces its origins to 1890, when William Rosencrantz laid out two golf holes on the front lawn of The Hermitage along Franklin Turnpike. The club evolved over the following decades, moving to its present site in Paramus, where the current clubhouse opened on May 30, 1929.

The course today consists of 27 holes. Although located in Paramus, the club was long associated with the name Ridgewood: after the 1929 move it kept a Ridgewood post office box so it could continue listing that address, a practice that continued until 1990. That year, while seeking permission to erect tents for the U.S. Senior Open, the club was required by the Borough of Paramus to list its address as Paramus.
