River Ridge Golf Club

River Ridge is a wonderful golf course. It's challenging but enjoyable. The greens are always fast and roll really well. They are also extremely undulating. The fairways are in great shape and tight with very little bare spots. The bunkers have decent sand and are always raked. No rocks or pebbles. You really cannot beat River Ridge given what the greens fees are.

Two issues however:

1) The range- don't come here to hit balls. One of the worst I've ever seen. Hackers usually have it chopped up by the weekend. You hit off of dirt on an uphill lie.

2) You will never hear a "Thank you" from the pro shop or grill. They can be flat out rude at times if they even acknowledge you. These people need a refresher on where the money on their pay check comes from. Don't like your job? Quit.

Other than those two issues, you'll be glad you played a round out here.

If you have tough decisions on where to play. Choose river ridge. It may cost an extra $ 10 on average of surrounding courses but it is well worth it.

Greens are big and usually quick but this time the first three holes were quick then it all slowed down. Layout is great especially for the difficulty, a lot of area to miss hit and still be ok

Course was in great shape, staff very friendly, second time playing in a month - will come back often

Played River Ridge for the first time. Challanging course, lots of topography. Greens were in good shape and fast. Staff was very nice. Will go back again.

just a nice layout. Greens were in good shape and course was well manicured.

A good test of ability.

very nice course with good conditions and interesting layout. Pace was a problem though. Round took five hours with two groups on many tee boxes. Suggest that starter needs to space the groups a bit farther apart and that ranger needs to politely ask people to pick up the pace. The slow pace diminishes what is a otherwise a very good place to play.

Was a very good value for the price. Included free range balls. We had a tee time for 4pm but were told it would be a little later due to an outing. Waited till 4:15 and were still held up for our first 4 holes. Should have done a better job keeping the outing moving or not allowed us to schedule a 4pm tee time. Overall course was nice and in great shape. Would return again.

Great course. Everything top notch. Greens were extremely fast making this a high handicapper for me. I hope to play again this week. Twilight rates are exceptional. 23 dollars cant be beat around here for that high end course!!!

This is a great course for the money. Some very interesting holes - not your typical boring layout. The greens are in excellent condition and are probably running around a 12-14 right now....might be a 16 if you're going downhill! Holy smokes do you have to be below the hole on this course! Any downhill putts and you are in bad shape.

All in all, I was pleased with my experience. The pace of play was extremely slow on the back nine, but it was booked with foursomes so there's not much you can do there. The range is sub-par, but they have a practice area and a nice big putting green.

Considering all rain. Course in great condition. Thinking golfers course. Greens, fairways in awesome condition.

The Golf course is challenging, the Fairways are generous, the greens are unforgiving. The staff are very friendly, Perfect place for the golf outing from newbie to seasoned veteran. The course plays with the natural elevation which in turn challenges the players ability.

Awesome course...the greens are always fast so make sure you are below the hole... The number 1 handicap is long and plays uphill. This course will challenge you so be prepared. The clubhouse is great..food is good! Will play this again and again

The title pretty much tells my story. The Hot Deal for a 1:20 tee time was $40 plus fees... too much in my opinion for an afternoon tee time.

Course was in good shape. Greens were consistent and fast -- good to above average condition. Course layout is great -- challenging but not ridiculous. I will play there again but only at a lower price.

The overall average rating is due primarily to the cost.

I always compare River Ridge with the Neuse.

I think River Ridges is slightly better but a little more expensive too.

Greens are great and Fair way and tea box are very good too.

A little bit more than 4 stars course.

Probably, 4.3/5

The is an excellent local course that was very enjoyable to play. The staff was very friendly and accommodating. Pace was a little slow but as nice of a day that it was everyone was out playing golf so it really wasn't that much of an issue. Overall, I highly recommend this course.
