Ridgewood was always one of A.W. Tillinghast's favorites. He lived nearby, was a club member and a close friend with the club's longtime pro, George Jacobus, who served as president of the PGA of America for seven years. (It was Jacobus who brought the 1935 Ryder Cup to Ridgewood.) The 27 holes that Tillinghast created were some of his most demanding. Not surprisingly, the course has long been a tournament venue, particularly in recent years, following extensive tree removal and bunker renovation by Gil Hanse and Jim Wagner. Ridgewood's tournament 18 consists of holes from all three nines, and that's the configuration our panelists score. The club's drivable par-4 sixth on its Center nine, the famed "Five and Dime" hole, is one of the country's greats, built long before potentially one-shot par 4s became trendy.
