WPCNR SOUTHEND TIMES. By John F. Bailey. November 12, 2009: Ridgeway Country Club is expected to be sold to a Harrison man in the ocean shipping business by  January 1, according to Nick Wolff, of Prudential Rand Realty, White Plains, this morning.

Mr. Wolff, the agent for the sale said the lawyers for the club and the potential buyer have entered final negotiations. Price has not been settled upon yet, but the buyer has assured the members of the club, he intends to keep the Country Club as a club, according to Mr.Wolff.  Wolff said that no zoning changes or variations need to be approved by the city because the use of the club will not change, at least for five years, which is one of the matters under negotiation, he said.

Ridgeway Country Club has been seeking buyers for a year due to the declining revenues of the club. Wolff said the new owner hopes to make the club a semi-private club, add a 4-hole family golf course, and expand the club catering facilities. He is planning no other type of development of the club, Wolff said.  Wolff said the buyer comes from a shipping family based in Greece.
