River Ridge

Summary

River Ridge is a public 18-hole golf course in Independence, Iowa, USA, within the broader USA - Midwest golf landscape. The course follows a parkland layout, a style commonly associated with inland golf, tree-lined corridors, more sheltered playing conditions, and a routing that tends to reward placement from tee to green. It is attributed to Tom Bendelow and traces its origins to 1906, details that place the property within an earlier generation of American course design and give it a profile consistent with many long-established courses of the same era.
