Ridgemont Country Club

In 1855, John and Mary Upton built a home on their farm, located at 3717 West Ridge Road, now known as The Ridgemont clubhouse. They raised nine children in the house and they farmed their land surrounded by apple orchards that supplied fruit and grain to run a cold storage company. In 1872, the Upton family sold the farm to John Paine. In 1923, Ridge Road evolved into a commercial artery. A group of visionary real estate developers decided to establish a golf course and in 1923, The Upton-Paine home was sold and Ridgemont Golf Course was created, serving the managers and employees of the rapidly growing Eastman Kodak Company.
