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.

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!
Nice Day In January
Course was ok for winter in NC. The greens were better than other courses. fairways were also decent. Only thing not decent was the temp
A pleasure...usually
Have played RR many times and almost always enjoy it. It is a well laid out track with speedy greens and challenging angles. The course stays in remarkably good shape even though it gets a lot of play. The clubhouse is spartan but adequate and the concession stand is similar. (A little slow sometimes) The practice area is typical for this type of course. One putting green, one chipping green and one sand trap. The driving range is sufficient to get warmed up before a round. My only complaint in the past has been pace of play. If you are not the first tee time, particularly in the busy season, there is always an chance you wind up in a log jam with a 4 1/2 or 5 hour round. There does not seem to be a ranger inclined to deal with this and if you call the clubhouse they have a tendency to be argumentative about the pace of play. Overall, still a great course and one of my favorites in the Raleigh area.
Sand traps
Overall, good condition for Jan. Could definitely use more sand in the bunkers. The several I visited had less than a 1/4 inch.
Greens great as usual, not breaking as much as we were used to.
