Ridgeview Golf Course, located in Ligonier, PA offers a unique challenge for even the most experienced golfers. The 2400 yard course seems short, however, well place trees and narrow fairways compliment the small greens making shot placement very important.
Beginning golfers will appreciate the course and enhance their skill level through all aspects of the game. The long ball hitter has the opportunity to drive the green on several holes and score an Eagle, but don't let the ball slice or hook as the trees will snag the ball turning an Eagle opportunity into a guaranteed Bogey or worse.
The greens fees are very reasonable and beverages and food are available at the clubhouse. A wonderful view of Chestnut Ridge enhances the overall experience.
Would travel: 20-30 Miles, Vacation Worthy
Bottom line: I would play again, Average course for the area, Ranks with the best in this price level, Bargain priced based on quality and competitive area pricing
