The Ridge Golf Club is the complete package! Everything is here, in one place, to make your event planning process very easy. Situated in the rolling hills of Auburn, California, in the historic Gold Country of Placer County, the handsome stone accented clubhouse is surrounded by manicured golf course lawn, heritage oaks and serene views. After parking, your guests will walk past a beautiful Mediterranean inspired fountain to enter the Grand Foyer with a stunning wrought iron chandelier as a focal piece. If it is a wedding you are planning then prior to entering the clubhouse, there are two lovely ceremony locations to choose from. One is under a 100-year-old blue oak tree (so symbolic) and the other is in an open air natural setting, with an attractive pergola that is surrounded by spectacular views.

We love the fact that brides and grooms have convenient changing rooms and the staff of The Ridge even delivers champagne and light hors d’oeuvres to settle down those pre-wedding nerves! A classic style banquet room for the reception seats up to 240 people with the inclusion of all tables, chairs, linens and table top are included – even a large video screen for your business meeting or wedding montage.  All of your banquet needs are handled by the experienced banquet staff and on-site coordinator; the executive chef creates seasonal menu packages that are reasonably priced and offer a variety of options.

Our favorite thing about The Ridge is the amazing veranda that is just outside the banquet room. It is the perfect spot for the cocktail hour gathering, or quietly sitting at the highboy tables after dinner, enjoying a glass of champagne, listening to the crickets. The spectacular view of the golf course, oak and pine trees, rolling hills and beautiful ponds makes this space very appealing. The Ridge has countless spots for photo opportunities and you won’t be disappointed with your choice in venues.

We thank Vixen Photographer, Andrea Bucheli, for joining us on this trip… the photos included of a wedding are from her clients who have happily married at The Ridge.
