March 2026 condition = shaggy.

I've played the Ridge 20 times. Love the course. Usually in excellent condition. Was almost shocked on 3/31/2026 about how shaggy the course was. Everywhere from tee boxes to putting green. Fairways were lumpy. Off fairway 2nd cut was 6" tall thick grass. Putting greens were pretty beat up. Sand traps were thick and wet. It hasn't been raining recently so I attribute the winter course condition to over watering and inadequate mowing. Of course I'll return to this challenging layout, but will wait until some grooming occurs.

Great course, friendly staff.

Very nice course. It has a few challenging holes. The only negative is the carts will freeze if you get too close to the greens.

Very challenging Course

Layout and scenery very nice. Fairways are narrow but manageable. What is ridiculous are the greens. Between the slope changes and angles it is extremely hard to putt.

Great Facility

This was my first time playing here and I get why it’s priced the way it is. The course conditions are awesome and challenging. Pace could’ve been faster but the group in front of us was all over the place. Thankfully they realized at the turn that everyone was stacking up behind them and the stopped looking for every stray ball. The bar and grill had good food as well and the service was great. I would highly recommend going here if you don’t mind playing a little extra for a round of golf.

Avery good somewhat diffcult course

Due to the many uphill holes, it proves diifcult for higher handicap golfers both in distance as well trouble holding the elevated greens whiuch require higher shots which land softly.

Pace much improved

The Ridge has always been a favorite but at times pace of play could be pretty bad. They have gone to a 12 minute interval between tee times and it is fantastic. Barely ever saw the groups in front or behind us. Finished in 4 hours flat on a Saturday.
