River Ridge Golf Club

Great layout. Pace of play was slow and had a group play through that then held us up even more.

This was my second round at River Ridge. I felt I should write a review this time. This is a great course with a great layout. The fairways and other grass is dormant which is typical for this time of year. The greens rolled great but we're super fast as pin placement on most holes were on a ridge which made putting tough. I didn't mind this so much bc playing these conditions only makes me better. Staff is great here and the crowds seem to know proper etiquette. Will be playing here again.

Little on the muddy side - If I had known they were on Cart Path Only I would have preferred to walk -

First time playing the course and I was impressed ! I would recommend this to those who like to shape the ball and want challenging putts! I plan to play again.

First time playing the course and had a enjoyable round. Th staff is friendly and the course has a lot of scenic holes with a lot of variety. Best part was the greens are in good shape and rolling smooth. Will be back to play again.

Played couple times this tear both times course good shape and greens where in very good condition they rolled nice. Good course fairly wide open and you can score pretty good here. Staff very helpful and friendly

Nice track. Very wet due to heavy rain for a couple days prior but stil playable. Would love to play when dry.

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.
