About
River Ridge Golf Club is one of the finest public golf courses in Raleigh. The course sprawls across 100 acres in the heart of the Triangle, it's an easy 15-minute drive from downtown Raleigh. The lush green of the course contrasts beautifully with the Carolina blue skies. Mature trees frame most of the holes and there are a few lakes that come into play. The rolling terrain provides plenty of ups and downs throughout the golf course. Accuracy will be generously rewarded but it's not overly punishing for the high handicapper. The course's signature hole is the par-4 fifth, a 375-yard hole that can be conquered with smart play. Try to keep your long iron or fairway wood to the right of the fairway, which will give you a short iron approach into the green.

Awesome course
Very nice course with a beautiful and challenging layout.
Very enjoyable round…ve
Paired with two very hospitable NC gentlemen that welcomed & explained every hole/shot! Well worth the money!!! TJ
River Ridge rocks
Light on river and heavy on ridge, this course is a fun challenge. It doesn't have length (6300yds from the tips) but the routing and green's defends par. There might have been 2 holes where you weren't asked to work your drive right or left. I played in early March and the grass was still dormant. The greens have a ton of movement and slope. Not excessively large and there are well defined pin placements. I'd come back in a heart beat.
My favorite golf course in town
I always love playing here. The chorus is beautiful and is made for all types of golfers no matter the experience level.
Good choice for golf in the Raleigh area
Course layout is outstanding, and considering the time of year, course condition was excellent. Staff was friendly and welcoming. Highly recommend.
Beautiful track w true rolling greens
See title. Tuesday afternoon in February- sold us the tee time then messaged our cart that we were last ones / only ones playing and to hurry up and get back. I mean I guess I understand and we skipped holes to get back faster. Even though we had more daylight and weren’t advised to be back by certain time.
Other than that - great time and great service!
