River Ridge Golf Club

Played this course on a visit to NC for Father’s Day. Course was in fantastic shape and was a fairly difficult track.

Pleasantly surprised with how good of condition it was in and would definitely play again if back in the area!

While everything about this course is very good, pace of play the last couple of rounds has been the exception. On this round I was part of a random foursome and the pace of play was so slow, all of the foursome quit after nine holes. While notices appear on the on-board digital screen in the cart it seems like they are ignored. I like this course a lot but the absence of on-course time management is forcing me to look for other golf course options.

First time playing, was challenging, lots of nice views and in nice condition. I’d definitely recommend it.

Greens were sanded so they discounted the round. Understand they will be punched soon.

Otherwise course in good shape.

I fully understand that public courses will have a higher than normal pace of play.

We showed up 20 minutes prior to our tee time and were planning on hitting a few balls on the range before our round. But, we were told to go to the 1st tee 10 minutes before our scheduled time and were told we could either hit balls on the range or “they wouldn’t know when they could get us out there” if we didn’t go out 10 mins before our time.

We opted to go early to get out and play. On every single tee box we waited ~10 minutes to hit. Some holes there were 4 different groups on the hole whether they were on the green, in the fairway, on the tee, or waiting behind the group on the tee. We ended our round 52 minutes behind pace according to the screen on our cart.

It is a great course with a great range and a fun course to play. It is very frustrating to have a course push out as many people as possible without paying attention to pace of play. It wouldn’t be an issue if we weren’t asked to go sooner than our tee time at the risk of “losing our place in line” to play.

Again, fantastic course, staff, grill, and amenities. But if you are going to raise the prices of the round, people shouldn’t be spending 5 hours and 15 minutes on a course.

Lucky enough to get the first tee-time this week. We had an eclectic foursome but all golfers that liked to play with purpose. Check-in and warm up were smooth as usual. The course is in generally excellent shape, with a few worn areas on fairway edges and around a couple of greens but overall does not detract from the golf experience. Great layout and challenging enough for all levels of golfer (might be a little easy for the PGA). While the amenities are adequate, service levels and staff friendliness are excellent. Overall an excellent golf course and a very good value.

Fairways are excellent. Greens are a nice speed. Could use more sand in the bunkers.

Great, fair, fun layout.

I really enjoyed playing here. Course was in nice shape and the staff is great. Try it out for yourself.
