Great layout, slow pace

I play at The Ridge once or twice per year and always enjoy the layout and the challenge it provides. The only drawback is the pace of play on weekends is typically very slow. I recently played on Mother’s Day and figured it may be less crowded, but that was not the case. The round took just over 5 hours and that was after I passed the group ahead of me which had 6 people; 4 players plus a toddler and an infant… that was a first and it doesn’t seem like a safe or practical ideas. Needless to say, they didn’t keep up with the group ahead of them.

The course was in great shape as it usually is. The greens were exceptionally firm, so expect a lot of rollout. I usually leave a pretty hefty pitch mark on the green but couldn’t find any during my latest round. Two days of high heat and no watering in between could have been the culprit.

Course is in great shape. Greens fast but rolled extremely well. A lot of uphill holes but greens pretty receptive with lower trajectory shots. Pace of play was a bit slow but we were in no hurry and didn’t wait long on the boxes.Round time was 4:40 I believe. I shot 89 partner shot 99 and two guys with us were well over 100 but not because they were bad, just didn’t , hit em very long. All in all a great day on a well maintained golf course. Btw partner lost by 10 strokes but had a hole in one on 17. My first time there his second. We will be back, his name will be in the pro shop👍

March 2026 condition = shaggy.

I've played the Ridge 20 times. Love the course. Usually in excellent condition. Was almost shocked on 3/31/2026 about how shaggy the course was. Everywhere from tee boxes to putting green. Fairways were lumpy. Off fairway 2nd cut was 6" tall thick grass. Putting greens were pretty beat up. Sand traps were thick and wet. It hasn't been raining recently so I attribute the winter course condition to over watering and inadequate mowing. Of course I'll return to this challenging layout, but will wait until some grooming occurs.

Great course, friendly staff.

Very nice course. It has a few challenging holes. The only negative is the carts will freeze if you get too close to the greens.

Very challenging Course

Layout and scenery very nice. Fairways are narrow but manageable. What is ridiculous are the greens. Between the slope changes and angles it is extremely hard to putt.

Great Facility

This was my first time playing here and I get why it’s priced the way it is. The course conditions are awesome and challenging. Pace could’ve been faster but the group in front of us was all over the place. Thankfully they realized at the turn that everyone was stacking up behind them and the stopped looking for every stray ball. The bar and grill had good food as well and the service was great. I would highly recommend going here if you don’t mind playing a little extra for a round of golf.

Avery good somewhat diffcult course

Due to the many uphill holes, it proves diifcult for higher handicap golfers both in distance as well trouble holding the elevated greens whiuch require higher shots which land softly.
