Course is in great shape and tough.

I needed to hit every club in my bag from the blue tees. Greens still recovering from spring aerification but putting okay. Rough is deep which made some holes very difficult if you miss the fairways. I play this course often and enjoy its character and it’s difficulty.

Great course!

One of my favorite courses in the greater Sacramento area. Play was fast. Greens were true. The weeds need to be cut down so looking for a poorly hit drive doesn't become a rattlesnake encounter (especially in the Spring).

Great challenging course

Consistent greens. Well maintained. Challenging layout (fairway bunkers penalize inaccurate drives, approach shots over gaping hazards, out of bounds=lost ball) requires disciplined play. It’s a thinking and tactical course. I loved it.

Good Course

Enjoyable round in early spring, Fairways were good despite lots of rain just a few week ago. Somewhat challenging but a fair test. Weather was great and not too crowded.

Greens

The course is in great shape. Had a great round, however, wish they could inform players when they airate the greens. Putts were bouncing all over the greens. Overall, would play The Ridge every chance I could.

Easter Sunday Golf

THis is the second time i've played here and i really enjoy this course and the course is well maintained. the only problem was the greens were being aerated which made putting more difficult than it already is. But for $26, i can't really complain. I will continue to play here whenever i get a chance. Love this course

Front 9 closed for greens dressing

Had to play the back 9 twice and I'm sure this was a scheduled thing to have the front closed for treating the front greens and I think we should have been notified and made a decision based on that. having said that it was a beautiful day and the back 9 was in good shape. A fairly difficult course with some very elevated greens. I like this course and would recommend playing it, especially at golf now prices.

Great course but the pro could up his game

The course was in surprisingly good shape after heavy rains, other than the bunkers, but even they were pretty good, considering. I was impressed with how well the fairways had drained. The maintenance staff had all the greens done by the time I came around. This is a fine course with many uphill and downhill holes. Most of the greens are difficult greens and many are protected by bunkers, false fronts, or overhanging trees in the approach zone.

My only beef was with the club pro, Mr. Kelly. I arrived on time for my 6:55 AM tee time. He didn't. Yet he offered no apology, greeting, or even a smile. All of the other staff were friendly and considerate.
