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 course Fun Day
River Ridge is an excellent course. I recommend it.
Hi, thank you for your kind words! We hope to see you again at the course very soon for another 5-star experience. Thanks for choosing River Ridge Golf Club.
Perfect challenge
Me and my dad went. It was great course. Provided us both with a challenge, but not to the point it made playing unfun. They paced out the players nicely so nobody was right on anyones tail. Ranger was extremely friendly. Very helpful friendly staff. All around a great course for some friendly competition. Also some stunning views, lots of wildlife.

Very nice course
The fairways are still brown but have a lot of grass to hit off of. The greens had sand placed on them recently but putted very true and fast. We enjoyed the layout and will be back.

Slack Staff
The PGA so called Professional sat in his office tearing down on a bag of chips idlely staring at his computer screen while the part-time associate fumbled with the check-in computer as the check-in line of paying customers grew. Poor excuse for representation.
