River Ridge Golf Club

Only writing this review as it seems the course did not report that it was aerating greens to GolfNow. Punched on 7-10-2018, would wait another week or so before booking.

I booked this course online with Golf Now and they did not choose to tell Golf Now that they were going to punch the greens. Not only that, but they closed the back nine and made everyone play the front nine twice. It took me 50 minutes to drive to this course, but definitely wouldn’t have bothered if they would have been honest about the course conditions. Unfortunately you can’t get your money back from the course if you book with Golf Now, so I had to choose to play in terrible conditions or forgot the money I paid, talk about being out between a rock and a hard place.

And because they had every group playing just 9 holes, the pace of play was horrible. We jad holes where we waited forever to tee off, then waited some more to hit our approach shots.

Terrible experience that could have been avoided if the course had just been honest about the aeration work they were doing.

if it weren't for the greens being verticut I would have given 5 stars on course. green are still in great shape. cant wait to play again after the maintenance heals. a necessary evil in order to have nice greens. also if you don't like fast greens this may not be the course for you. pace was a little slow but not painful.

I visit the Raleigh area a few times a year and try to find different courses to play. River Ridge is one I will play again. I liked the variety offered by the design of the course. There are some forced carry holes, some blind tee shots, and some uphill and downhill holes. Per reviews I read before selecting this course, the greens are fast (but fair) and can ruin a hole or a whole round if you aren’t alert. I thought the course was fun and a good value.

Great layout in very good condition. The speed of the greens was very inconsisitent.....some slow, some fast and it wasn't because of grain but all rolling true. Could definitely use more sand in the sand traps.

Regardless, always a good course to play in the Raleigh area.

Fantastic condition, beautiful scenery, true running greens. Lots of evelation to deal with. Thankful i was pair up with two members that knew the course.

Definitely wish to play it again

what was a 4.5 hour course to play took 5 hours 15 minutes because of the group ahead of us looking for missed shots/balls n the weeds, woods and water...took their sweet time when on the green

Course was in great condition. Fairways were lush and greens were quick and smooth. Very good and challenging golf course. Greens are difficult to say the least. A very good test of golf. Wish it was a bit closer to Durham but worth the drive.

This course in general is well maintained. There are very few ground under repair areas to be found . There was one hole where maintenance was underway through a section of the fairway . The greens in particular are excellent making the only challenge in putting your ability to make it . This course is not overly demanding allowing for scoring based on your play . One of my favorite Raleigh area courses .

Our group plays River Ridge frequently and has for several years. Very reasonably priced and the conditions are normally very good. Nice staff and during the week the pace of play is typically quick. I often recommend River Ridge to out of towners.

great course layout, in amazing shape, greens were in top notch shape, fast and lots of small undulations.. groups were stacked up even at 815, starter blamed a computer problem. teed off 15 minutes late, thinking we were in for a long round, but somehow, we played in 4 hours flat.. had rangers around moving pace of play.. overall good day, a bit pricey for $60, but good day..

River Ridge is in overall very good condition from tee to green. Greens had been lightly top dressed but were still rolling true and with speed. Could use more sand in some of the sand traps, but otherwise a great layout and a great play using GN.

I've played RR a number of times and for a public course, it is in great shape and the greens were fast and challenging. Only one hole was in bad shape and that's because of it's low lying area. New golf carts with 2 USB ports - how nice! with coolers, too. I thought the round would be long because of the back up on the first tee, but we moved along with no waiting. I still prefer a 4 hour round - this was closer to 5.

Fun layout, course is in good condition and pace of play was fine and got a great rate on Golf Now!

Course was in top condition and played very fair. 35 dollars was a great bargain and only drawback was not much of a 19th hole so fuel up to eat elsewhere before playing 18.

It rained on us a fair amount and had rained quite a bit the nigjt before but in spite of that the course played very well...must have some good drainage! And the overall condition was fantastic! You will not be disappointed!
