Ridge Country Club has a storied caddie program which dates back to the 1920’s. Ridge Country Club caddies pride themselves on being prepared and versed in the game of golf, as well as treating golfers with the utmost respect. The Evans Scholars Foundation has partnered with Ridge Country Club, with the goal of providing scholarship grants to the caddies that excel on the golf course as well as academically. To learn more about the Evans Scholars Foundation and the Western Golf Association, please visit the WGA website: www.westerngolfassociation.com.
While golfing, if you choose to walk you must use a caddie when one is available. All cart foursomes are required to take a fore caddie if one is available. Caddies will present you with a card at the end of each round. This card includes a line for a tip and has an evaluation section on the reverse side. This evaluation is important for the improvement of the caddies in our program. 

Applications for new caddies will be online from February 15 to the close of business on March 15. New caddies must be aged 13-16 as of May 1, 2024. No applications will be accepted after March 15.
