Continually working

I actually enjoy this course. I’ve only been playing for a few months now, but it does seem like they are trying to make this courser nicer each time I’m there. There is still a bit of work to be done to get in in good shape but it is a fun challenging course.

Interesting layout

Fairway and roughs were in good shape. Sand traps were hard packed sand. Greens were medium speed, not holding the approach shot, putting true. Grass on greens was missing in spots on several greens (30-40% of greens) and somewhat long, leading to the medium speed. Staff was very friendly and helpful.

Great layout and sceneries.

The mountain and the lake was a great mixture. Greens need major work. They are working on the greens and fairway. I can't wait until they get done with the renovations.

Improving

Played here two months ago and the course conditions have improved dramatically. Some of the greens still have sandy areas but the correct grass with no poa annua anywhere is a good sign. The 14th green looked almost perfect. Definitely worth playing again as they improve the conditions.

Good Course Layout, Great Staff, Terrible Greens

Only 2-3 of the 18 holes we played had a green with no dead spots and no massive bald spots where the roll is completely unpredictable.

Fairways and Tee Boxes seemed pretty well maintained and the overall layout was fun. Challenging bunkers and pretty interesting hazard areas. Would definitely play again, but only if I get a deal on the tee time as the money is not worth the condition of the greens.

Great Experience

Had a great round at Players Ridge. Staff was friendly and I’d most definitely play there again. Only issue would be the condition of several greens, which it seems they are working diligently to address.

This course is awesome

I have played this course numerous times. Although the course is still in improvement stages it is one of the best layouts in the area. The price is also a great selling point. Staff were friendly and pace of play was fine. Would definitely play here again
