River Ridge Golf Club

Course is perfect. No problems with anything or anyone except for the portly landscaping guy blowing the sand trap on #8 this day. Never moved out of the way on our approach shot to the green and once on the green and about 50' from where my group was putting, he never stopped blowing. I whistled to let him know it was distracting a guy standing over a birdie putt but, once he turned around and saw us, he turned right back around and went to it. He obviously didn't want to be there and could care less about course etiquette. When I looked at the other, more respectful dude with him, he just shrugged his shoulders like he didn't understand either. In my group's 70+ years of playing a plethora of courses, none of us had ever seen anything like it.....especially at a 4.5 star course that had done everything else so right. This Jakehole should be coached and counseled and put on probation. One bad apple damages the reputation of the course.

I played River Ridge for the first time this weekend and I will definitely be coming back. The course is really fun to play, not too easy but not too difficult, and really has a good mix of holes. It is also very well maintained from tee to green. Greens are in great shape and rolling faster than most in the area. No signs of winter kill from last year like most courses in Raleigh. The range and practice area is the best I've found in the area. All grass driving range with large chip/bunker practice area and a very large putting green. I really can't say anything bad about this course or my experience playing it. Looking forward to playing here again.

Awesome course. Greens are fast and true. Good pace of play. Fun layout. Good mix of short par 4s and longer holes. Many tee shots take some thought. Can't pull driver every hole. Excellent par 3s

What a fabulous golf course. Being from California and our drought conditions our courses aren't as green as this was. Fairways were perfect. Greens were fast, maybe a little too hard and fast - made some holes pretty difficult. I was paired up w/ 2 members that treated me like a member. What a great day!

Awesome course in great condition. The new greens are very fast.

Course was in great condition, pace of play was smooth, greens were fast but true.

Since most Carolina courses have converted from Bent to Champion Bermuda, I've noticed that most let them get slow. These were the fastest Bermuda greens I ever played. The ball rolled true. They seemed to not be so hard as other courses also, no backspin but at least they held.
Fairways were in great shape. Traps looked great despite recent heavy rains also.
This is a nice local club that takes pride. Worth a couple extra bucks over many of the other public Raleigh courses.

Great course for golfers of all abilities, if you pick the right tee. The fast greens were in great shape, as were the fairways and tees.

First time playing River Ridge. Enjoyed my first visit, and glad the Tee Scheduler provided a heads-up....narrow, position golf on a few of the holes, water does come into play, and driver is not the first club of choice on many holes!

I'll be back to play here again.

Great course for using all the clubs in your bag!

I've seen this course on may to Clayton several times however never heard anything about the course. Last week I saw it again and decided to give it a go. Great course and layout, greens are only a year old but will get better. Greens are similar to Pine Hollow. Excellent course layout. Try it out, suggest riding if it's a warm day.

Teed offed little after 5 pm and managed to complete the round by 815 - great pace , plays little over 6700 which was nice but with 5 sets even the 20 handicap player can have a great day . Greens were fast and in good shape . I'll def be back !

This golf course is special. Now, I am one to hold everything to high standards especially golf courses. This one completely exceeded expectations. You truly feel like you are playing on a super exclusive country club. The conditions are absolutely incredible, the greens are some of the best I've ever played (they were rolling probably a 12-13). There was no one on the course when I played and was able to fly through 18. The overall conditions of the course match some of the best in the state. I have to say this is my favorite course right there with lonnie poole. I would HIGHLY recommend this course to anyone. I just wish it was closer to my house. The only small qualm I have was that they had gas carts, not a big deal but I just think the course deserves nice electric carts.

Overall the facilities and course are nice and definitely above average. The course plays pretty short, but the layout adds to the challenge. Water, fairway bunkers in play on many holes driving lay-ups and makes club selection important. I rode, but this would be a very tough course to walk. Some of the breaks between green and tee box are pretty long.

It is a very nice course and I have no hesitation in recommending it. Pace of play was good, there was a ranger actually watching the pace of play. Looking at just the round and golf it is easily a 4 star course. The greens were slightly above average condition, the fairways were above average. The issue I have is the price premium. No issues with the course, but I am not sure the pricing matches the course. It runs pretty much what UNC Finely would cost on weekends, but it just isn't that kind of course.

The grille and club house/pro shop are very nice.

Good layout. ..greens in good shape.bbbbbbbnbbbbbbbnnnnnnnnn

Course was not in the best shape. Greens are top dressed and bumpy. Hopefully that will change soon. Had a great time. Can't beat it for the price.

I have always enjoyed the layout at River Ridge, very Nic golf course and it had been a couple of years. Course was in decent shape but was disappointed to see another course more to Bermuda greens. Yuck.

These greens were especially bumpy but I'm sure they will get better. They would mot prevent me from returning.

What will prevent me from a return round is the rudest ranger I have encountered in years. He was especially nasty and complained about our pace of play which clocked in at 3:50 for a foursome. Bad experience.

I snagged a $25 weekday twilight round with a 4pm tee time. I played in 2.5 hours, and only saw 2 groups (both of whom let me play through) the entire time. The greens were recently sanded and it was 95 degrees, so perhaps that had something to do with so few golfers being on the course. On that note, there were plenty of water coolers on the course. The greens were still rolling pretty good. I've played when the greens weren't sanded and they're normally in good shape and rolling nicely. They are firm and pretty quick. Played the tips and it was a fair test. I like the layout, but many of the holes force you to keep the driver in your bag. There are a few blah holes, but for the most part every hole is unique.

1st time here and impressed. Played in afternoon on a Friday so we had the course to ourselves. Friendly staff all around. Course is in excellent condition especially the tee boxes and most greens. I like this course because it allows you to think about each shot. Will definitely go back here soon.

The only reason I indicated this a a 3 star was because the green had just been punched and they were like putting at the beach. Other than that the course was immaculate. I play it several times a year and love the setup. I would have like to be notified when I booked the tee time. I would have skipped playing this time because of the greens.

Greens rolled great...couple fairways show winterkill no grass bad lies but not in my landing area...apron just punched...
