ENTERTAINMENT

High Ridge residents appreciate a good round of golf at 18-hole championship Sugar Creek Golf Course, which stretches 6,000 yards, as well as, Paradise Valley Golf and Country Club a few miles away.  The Wildlife Rehabilitation Clinic allows neighbors to uniquely connect with wildlife, and for a different outdoor adventure, there is Six Flags St. Louis in nearby town of  Eureka.
