Ridgemark Golf & Country Club

Overview: Ridgemark Golf & Country Club is a public daily-fee course in Hollister, laid across the former turkey-farm land known locally as “Old Farm.” The 6,780-yard scorecard is par 72, with broad agricultural surroundings, planted corridors and the inland Monterey Bay climate shaping a straightforward but varied parkland character.

History: The current course page emphasizes the property’s former agricultural use and its present 18-hole routing, practice area, hotel and restaurant. The retained official material does not clearly identify an architect or opening year, so those fields stay null rather than being borrowed from an unrelated Hollister course.

Did You Know? “Old Farm” is Ridgemark’s local nickname, a direct reminder that the course replaced working agricultural ground. That origin helps explain the open spacing and the contrast between the golf property and the nearby gated residential development.
