Park Ridge Golf Course

Always a pleasent change from the normal Florida courses. Affectionaly called "The Dump" is in good shape. The greens were a little slow but consistent. Friendly and helpful staff.

A rare elevation changing show this course offers almost no water but every shot has a different angle lots of ups and downs. great layout will play again. Rained recently fairways a little moist.

Got the chance to play park ridge yesterday. New to the area and I have played at about 10 courses so far and I would have to say park ridge is the most distinctive track I've played in the area. Fairways are in pretty good shape and the greens were a touch slow but rolled true and in great condition. Lots of elevation change and very scenic. Not the most challenging course but don't be fooled some of the hazards will put you in a tough spot if you are not careful. Overall I really enjoyed the course and would recommend it for anyone.

The course was interesting. With the par 4 and 5's, there was numerous blind shots (dog legs...) To know the yardage was difficult. They are not marked except stripped post in the fairways showing 150 yd.... They need more yardage markers.
The greens were in great shape but the tee boxes need work.
The only problem with people is the older man who was the started around 12:30pm He's a grouch.

Park Ridge is one of my favorite courses to play in South Florida because of the elevation and challenging layout. It is just a blast to play.

Unfortunately for us this time, we had a foursome in front of us who refused to let our faster playing twosome by them, causing us to have to wait at every shot. Their excuse was that they had already let one twosome go by them. So I guess that;s their limit.

Still, Park Ridge is a Great place to play!!!

Most disappointing courses are not the overpriced ones but rather the ones where a potentially terrific golf course is marred by apparent lack of effort and/or attention to detail. The course was very wet but that is just golf. Poor schematics, lack of signage, incorrect yardages, and, according to FSGA/GHIN, incorrect CR/Slope & scorecards...*that* was what made the course near unplayable. We didn't even mind gallivanting on foot hundreds of yards due to cart path only, only to be accosted by an extremely abrasive Ranger who no exaggeration, got on us for putting half a tire on already muddy, flattened grass.

One of us plays to a ~8 from the tips, had played the course many times, and *still* we sometimes had no idea where we were going or what the orientation of junk/hazards was. With the huge elevation changes, it was one blind shot after another. It also does not help to post ballwashers and schematics 75 yards past the second set of tees.

This could be a great muni with minimal investment and some effort. It's a real shame.

Decent course. Great Staff.
The elevation changes on several holes are the only really interesting feature. Fairways and tee boxes in fairly rough condition. Greens solid.
It's... ok. It's certainly my least favorite of the PBC Courses. I believe Osprey Point and Okeeheelee to be Far Superior and Southwinds to be superior to it.
The need to walk up or down to many tee boxes and greens makes this course Non Handicap Friendly.

the greens are in bad condition, they never cut the tee boxes so I have to use a 4" tee to tee off. Also tee boxes are basically sand so you have to tee the ball up for iron shots on par 3's. Gimmicky course with cool elevation changes which is the only thing it has going for it. Starter also gave me lip about booking for 1 person which was super unprofessional. If you don't want to book singles then remove your joke course from golfnow!

Heard about a course on an old landfill site and wondered if it was similar to "Settlers Hill" in Lisle, IL. Yes, it is! Elevation changes, blind shots and the requisite gas golf carts to go up the hills.

Played 18 on 8/9/2015, fortunately my buddy and I were paired with a couple of guys that played the course regularly and they did a great job showing us the ropes (Thank you Bill & Ron). We started @ :38 and finished in 3:54, so no pace issues.

The course is pretty forgiving in most places due to the way things are spaced. That said, hitting a ball of the fairway (or an adjacent one) and its gone. The grassy spoil areas are tall, thick grass and tough to find balls in. (Trust me, keep it in fairway (yours or an adjacent one).

Course was is good to very good shape. The greens have nearly removed from aeration Earlier this summer. 3-4 weeks and they should be in excellent shape.

Highly recommended course for a golfer looking for a taste of hills and a fun course to play!

This was first time playing this course and found it to be fun. Fortunately I was pair with two other folders who were familiar with the course and it's setup. Their advice and the fact that it was very forgiving on a bad shot made it an enjoyable experience. Drew(starter) was very informative and helpful in pairing up groups to keep pace of play moving. Most fairway are straight forward, so if you are starting off or refining this is a good course to try.

Awesome and fun course bc if the views. The old man at the register was super rude and not friendly at all. Have me a hard time for being 10 minutes late. But other than that had a good time.

Interesting course. I was surprised by the elevation and lack of water and sand on the course which is odd for Florida. It was confusing to play at times due to the lack of signage and yardage stakes, etc.

Park Ridge was a very impressive municipal-owned course built on an old landfill. Because the terrain is man-made, there are more elevation changes than you find in most of the state.

The greens rolled very true and pretty quick. The layout, besides just the elevation changes, was fun and fair and included a reachable par 4.

The only complaint I had was with the clubhouse which really looked like a modified hot dog shack. Prices, though, for food and drink were very reasonable.

If you get to the area, this is a course not to be missed.

Course is a good course very fun with all of the hills and blind shots. Pro shop and cart attendant staff is friendly. The starters need help! First off they always pair you with people you don't even know and that sucks! For example I suck! And they pair myself an friend up with people who we really don't want to ruin their day on how novice we are an slow them down. We really just want to go out an have fun with the person we went there with. This has happened numerous times. With the short start times they give you, you feel like you have to play speed golf because someone is right In front of you an behind you they always have traffic jams because of this.

It's been a while since we played but the course brought back good memories. The overall layout and elevations really hold your attention. Lots of seemingly blind shots, refreshing views, and scenic views are a refreshing change of pace for South Florida. There was the odd "methane" odor but it did not really detract from the enjoyment. Must try it out!

The rabbits and cranes were a bonus.

The course is in great condition ,it's always a pleasure to play and their staff is really nice. Greens were actually in excellent condition and since you're so elevated you always have a breeze. I would recommend this course to anybody plus the value is great .

Love this course. Huge elevation changes. Great scenery. Always recommend to those who haven't played here. You'll definitely come back.
Downside: they seem to double book from time to time. Rangers do not enforce pace of play. The older staff members are a bit "crotchety"
Biggest downside: It is built on an old landfill, so on a hot day it gets a little foul smelling.
Overall one of my favorites, it's easy to overlook the downfalls once you're out there

This is a cool course and is unlike anything in south Florida. It has a lot (for Florida) of elevation changes but if you haven't played before it can be challenging. Condition of the course was decent and the greens were well kept (not fast but true)

This is a very unique course for southeast Florida. It was constructed over land that once was a landfill so there are elevations like no other course in south Florida. It has 6 par 4's, 6 par 5's and 6 par 3's. None of the holes have the same look. Which is impressive considering the 6 par 3's. All are unique in length, elevation and look. All in all the course is in fine shape, the greens are great right now, and it's well worth the price and travel. Try it, you'll like it!

The course is a good layout different from most other properties in South Florida. I wish the greens we a little nicer but I understand they were aerated as needed with all courses. This is the second county owned course where more than multiple weeks of aerating the green are still rough. I feel the courses could use some irrigation rather than just relying on rain as I have been told to promote growth. All in all I would definitely return for another round.
