The Ridge is an excellent and challenging track

The ridge is an excellent and challenging track that is well-maintained and has a nice variety of holes to challenge a golf game. Staff is friendly, practice facilities are excellent, and the carts are almost brand new with leather seats and GPS. Only issue is the greens were not in the best shape on a couple of holes; nothing major but made for some bumpy putts and was a challenge to get the pace right.

3/5 stars because…

No carts were available upon check in. Had to wait 15 minutes for a cart. Course conditions were almost excellent. Greens could be better. Pace of play was absolutely horrendous. No one wants to play a 5 1/2 hour round of golf.

Worst greens!

Worst greens I’ve seen at the Ridge in all the years I’ve played there. It’s always been one of my top courses in the Sacramento area but this weekend with the 5+ hour round with horrible diseased greens that were super bumpy and fast, not fun!

The Ridge

Always a nice course to play. Play was a bit slow; almost 5 hours and the greens had some issues. Patchy and uneven. Don’t recall it being that way before. Course overall was in good shape. Saw the cart girl 3 times which was nice. They came out and replaced our cart when it was at 2 %. Good services today.

Great course

Course was beautiful, but it's not very forgiving lol hard course! The staff was very nice, and got paired up with a great couple. I'd recommend playing at least once to test your patience haha

I’ve always liked the Ridge! It’s a great and challenging course. The greens were not in their usual pristine shape though, it is summer in the middle of a drought.

Bumpy POA greens

If you’re going to keep the greens 50-80% POA you have to actually water the POA to keep the greens from bouncing and chattering on putts inside 5 feet, get a superintendent who actually can play the game and understand how greens are supposed to roll, excessive dallisgrass in the collars and around the greens, it will be awhile before I return
