A Wonderful Experience Overall

All was excellent except signage, or lack of it, between the 1st and 2nd hole. We stupidly teed off from the 9th tee box toward the 2nd fairway, over a tree,, before the beverage girl noted our error and corrected us.

I had played the course about 15 years ago and forgot this rather unusual staging.

We dodged the bullet where the 8th and 13th tees boxes also intersect so no damage there.

Pro shop attendant was excellent; very helpful with my handicap issues and just with his overall demeanor and instructions.

Love the course and would recommend it to any first timers.

Lumpy greens

The back nine was closed for aerating and the front nine had just been done. The greens were very lumpy and most of the punches were only partially filled with sand making it nearly impossible to predict the break and speed of the putts.

Thank you for playing The Ridge and sharing your experience. Aerification makes putting tough for a short while, but will provide healthy true rolling greens as they heal. We look forward to seeing you again.

Wet but Excellent!

This is a great layout with exceptional greens. Tough but fair. The course was wet from rain from the day before but worked it out. I would say this is close to a championship layout.

Slow play, short course, tight fairways,

Fun course, small fairways, lots of sand bunkers and water. Not a grip-em and rip-em course, must be strategic. We followed a group of 5 all day, they would not give up the opportunity to play thru.

Beautiful Course and Friendly Staff

We had a great time overall. The course is beautiful and well maintained. It’s one of the harder courses in the greater Sacramento area; but, not unfair.

There was a delay in our tee time due to the availability of carts. But, when we got on the course, the pace of play was great for a Saturday.

The pro shop manager gave us a couple driving range tokens due to the delay. That was a nice gesture.

Me and my fiancé will definitely return.
