River Ridge Golf Club

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

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.

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.

Love the layout and the overall feel of this course.

Interesting layout well kept. Some holes have narrow landing areas making club selection important. The undulating greens were a drastic chsnge to the flat coastal courses I played for the last month. Add the speed of nearly dormant fall greens and you quickly find out if you putt as well as you think you do. I'd play it again.
