(April Construction Progress)

Ridglea Country Club’s renovation continues to take shape, and this latest Ridglea Country Club renovation update captures one of the most visually dramatic phases of the project.

While earlier updates focused on demolition and clearing, this phase is where the course truly starts to feel like a golf course again.

Ridglea Country Club Renovation Progress

Over the past several weeks, the team has been focused on:

  • Large-scale earthmoving and grading
  • Establishing fairway corridors and green complexes
  • Beginning detailed bunker shaping
  • Refining drainage and creek integration

This is the phase where raw land begins transitioning into intentional design.

From Dirt to Design

At this stage, the course may look rough, but this is where precision matters most. Every contour, slope, and elevation change being shaped now will directly impact playability, drainage, and overall course character.

Bunker Construction Taking Shape

The bunkers are one of the most defining features of the renovation. At this phase, crews are shaping the edges and depths, creating both visual contrast and strategic challenge.

Greens & Surrounds Emerging

You can now start to see the intent behind each hole. Green shapes, surrounding contours, and approach areas are becoming clearly defined, giving members a first glimpse of what’s to come.

Creek & Drainage Integration

Proper drainage is critical to long-term course performance. The integration of the creek system not only improves functionality but also enhances the natural beauty and playability of the course.

The Big Picture

From above, the transformation is clear. What was once a cleared site is now a structured layout with fairways, greens, and hazards all beginning to connect.
