Environmentally friendly Golf Carts are a popular mode of transportation within the community.

Enjoy an active lifestyle at the Ridge with over 40 clubs.  Homeowners have endless opportunities to connect with other “like minded” people doing the things they love:  attending and participating in cultural events, taking courses, playing golf and tennis, hiking, biking, kayaking, sport fishing and sailing, gardening, swimming, dining, shopping, travelling, painting, vineyard hopping or just plain relaxing.
