Fun layout and great views!

Course was very wet from several days of rain, so cart path only. Good layout and challenging. Played from white tees so not long. Greens were slow, but playable. Two temp greens due to "marine blight". That was disappointing. Should have listed that on GolfNow before reserving. Will plan to return in the fall when it it drier. Great views of surrounding mountains.

Great course

The only problem were the greens. They were working hard on keeping them alive, but had lost a few of them. Had 2 temporary greens. I have played this course a lot the last few years and really enjoy the layout. Hopefully they can get the greens back.

Greens In Poor Condition

Nice Course design. Elevation changes create interest. Good landing areas off most tees; some challenging. Fairways & tee boxes in very good condition. Several greens were in poor condition, bare spots & sand filled spots (GUR). In addition two temporary greens in fairway. Sand hazards terrible ... red clay, not sand! Carts & paths in good condition. Well spaced comfort stations. Competent, friendly staff. Decent golf shop, nice bar area. This course could be 5 Star but wasn't close today.

Awesome Mountain Golf

This place was fantastic. Forget the fact that it is a steal at $30, the layout was great. Amazing views throughout the round. And it is a very fair test. I weould play it again for sure!!!

Disappointed

Upon arrival learned that two holes had temporary greens due to repairs and all recently aerated. Then learned tournament was taking place ahead of us and causing delays. Late tee off, over 6 hours for 18 holes. Love this course, failure to notify of conditions beforehand inappropriate.

Friendly, eager staff. Couple of greens on the back were less than stellar (appeared to be getting extra care), but overall condition was very good. Definitely recommend.

Hilly shot maker's course

A very fun golf course to play. Many elevation changes with challenging tee shots. A few holes require local knowledge from the tee on doglegs, but generally what you see is what you get. There aren't a lot of water hazards but those that challenge you are easily unavoidable. One par three over water requires correct clubbing depending on pin location.

The course is a beauty with many large private residences. The putting green was not in the best of shape. Fairways are generous. Course greens had been dressed and sanded two weeks prior to my round; slow and bumpy, but acceptable.

I would recommend The Ridges for a fun time on a course with high potential to be outstanding with better conditioning.

Great value

If you are a golfer and live in the area and are not taking advantage of the rates and the lay out of this course you are missing out . I am out of state and in the area here every few months and plan to play whenever I can . Great value and a beautiful area. Staff very friendly and accommodating .

Wonderful course

The course is not overly long but you are able to hit a variety of clubs and shots. The course was in excellent condition for early spring even with rain 30 minutes before my tee time. The views from the course are wonderful. I can't wait to come back later in the year when the course is in prime shape.

Disappointing

Love the course, played it many times and will again. Today it is in less than gold shape even considering the season. Fairways with stubble for grass, greens that are like rough.

Paired with 2 guys who were nice but slower than a glacier that backed up the whole course. Nothing my partner and I could do without rudeness.

Will play again but later

Poor course management

Simply put, they over booked the course, hence, by the time I reached the back 9, it looked like a traffic jam in Atlanta. Too frustrated to finish, I skipped the entire back 9.

So here's the down side to Hot Deals...unless you join the VIP from GolfNow, you really have no recourse when things like this crop up.

If I had gone full price through the club house, which I would gladly pay, then maybe I could have been compensated (somehow)?

The allure for me of prepay via GolfNow is beginning to fall off some...

Maybe more thought on peek season deals could lessen collateral impacts this year?!

Best Regards

-it

P.S.: Before I left the course, I also, tactfully mentioned this at the club house...

Course and Country Club

It was cart path only which makes it quite exhauting. That along with the goose hockey made for just an alright experience. The Food was great though. Will definitely do Ridges again!!!!!!!

Rough Greens

I have played the course many times and enjoy the course layout Beautiful setting and interesting holes At this time, the greens and bunkers are in very poor condition. Greens were very rough and extremely slow - very frustrating to play. No bunkers had been repaired recently and several had badly washed places. Hope this is corrected because this is a good course.
