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

Nice course but needs some work

Course is challenging and definitely hiller than I thought it would be- several greens were very bad shape, and the cart paths were need of repair- there was also little notification about distance in fairway to green

First Time Playing

It was the first time I played there and I drove over an hour to play. They closed 3 holes and they made two par 5 holes to par 3 holes - I think they should have just kept the entire place closed. We ended up playing 13 holes plus a lousy 2 par 3 holes yet they didn’t even apologize for it. We were told that they’ll give us a 5 hole credit later. Maintenance was really bad so I have no plans to ever return.

Greens

You could tell that the course is under renovation because some of the greens were all torn up. Otherwise, the course was nice, and semi-difficult.
