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.

Great for average players
This place was really cool! Nice layout, the greens were rolling true. There were some challenging holes and some gettable holes also. There were a few blind tee shots with trouble running thru the fairway. Yardage to hazards were clearly marked so you could pull your hybrid or long iron. I bet out of my price range for a Monday round but find a hot deal on golf now and check it out!

My friend was 1 hours late for the tee time. The course allowed us to delay our tee time twice, so we were able to enjoy the game together. Really appreciated.
