About Ridglea Country Club

The property on which Ridglea Country Club now stands was once owned by Bernie L. Anderson and his partner Morris E. Berney.

They operated it as a public golf course, but had dreams of seeing it expanded someday into a recreation center for the Ridglea area. The Luther Group bought the course and Clayton Luther vowed that he would build, in Ridglea, the finest country club that could be built, befitting the fine location it bears to the city of Fort Worth. He wanted Ridglea Country Club to be a place of distinction, a club typified by constant adherence to quality and dignity, which remain the hallmarks of Ridglea.
