Golf in Parma

Parma is one of Cuyahoga County's largest suburbs, a community on Cleveland's south side that grew dramatically in the postwar era as the city's working-class population moved from urban neighborhoods into the ring of new suburban developments. The community's dense residential fabric and the elevated terrain above the Cuyahoga Valley give Parma a character shaped by the mass suburbanization of the mid-twentieth century. Ridgewood Golf Course serves a substantial suburban population that values accessible, local recreational golf as part of the quality-of-life amenity that defines suburban residential life in the greater Cleveland area.
