Course struggling in the heat

Things were a little beat up from the heat. August heat is obviously not the best time to play to get perfect green rough and fairways. Despite the heat, the crew had the greens nice and soft and the greens rolled nicely. Lots of fun holes, many quite memorable. Many of these followed obviously natural terrain and others were more sculpted with landmovers. I'd play it again, especially before any of the courses that wind through suburbia.

Course is in great shape

Greens are fast, fairways are beautiful. Went out in a 2some on Sunday afternoon at 1:15. I was in my car heading home by 4:30. Not bad for 35 bucks on a weekend.

Great course in the hills

Played here mid week in the morning. Was damp and overcast to start, which kept the course relatively clear for a 10am tee time. We had two groups and everyone enjoyed it. No one is particularly good, and this challenging course swallowed a lot of balls from our two groups, but great scenery and intricate holes. I'd go back, but I'd need a few more lessons before I do.

Course never disappoints.

The course is in great shape. The greens were a bit slower than usual. I have played the Ridge multiple times over the years, and it is always well maintained and fun to play.

Always challenging

Got out as a single today mid morning and they started me back 9 since there were quite a few 4 somes already out. Played back 9 in 70 mins! Front 9 was slow first 2 holes, but then got going with no hold ups. Total round time just a little over 3 hours.

Greens rolled well today, but they weren't as nice as I remember last summer. Quite a few imperfections on the greens and divots in the fairways. If everyone would throw some divot mix after hitting their ball and repair their ball mark, courses would always be in tip-top shape! I'll be back later this summer for sure.

Great Condtion

Going on Mothers Day was tough, playing with a hungry mom and kids, was tough. They maybe could have had a few options to buy food at the turn other than sandwiches and hotdogs would have been great.

The course was in perfect condition! The fairways and greens were awesome! Could use a little trim in the rough areas, the worlds are a little high.

Better and Harder than I remembered

I played this course around 2001 at the age of 63. So clearly in 16 years I have lost a step or two. There were 2 negatives, the 90 degree weather and the state of my golf game. Otherwise just a fabulous layout in great condition. I think I made 5 pars, which is OK on a course this challenging. Once the two of us were let through, we had the last 10 holes to ourselves, which was outstanding. Highly Recommend.

Great course, Golfers not so great.

I played the Ridge with three other guys and we loved the course layout and difficulty. It is truly an amazing course which we all played for the first time. Unfortunately we experienced two events which will make us reconsider returning to the course. We teed off in front of the men's club and behind a 3 some. The men's club 3 some behind us seemed impatient and hit near us on multiple occasions. They eventually picked up their drives and drove to the next par three in front of is. They sheepishly teed off once they realized a 3 some was slowing us down. We all found their behaviour rude and unwelcoming.

We finished our round and had a tremendous lunch at the restaurant. We watched a female golfer tee off and a male golfer was behind her on the 10th tee and he proceeded to tee off from the golds directly over her head. The shot was dangerous and the best way to describe it was uncivilized. We had all never seen anything like it. It likely opens the club up to some liability. Due to the uncivilized nature of the Golfers on this course we are hesitant to return.

Good review. I don't think I would make a return/no return determination based on the acts of several of the patrons though. You might soon find you have only a few courses left to play! Great course by the way, played it for the first time yesterday. Quite a challenge off the tee box and that was without someone hitting over my head!

Great course

We teed off right on time and made the loop in 4:45. Course was in fantastic shape however the greens were very firm and pin placements were hard. If you want a challenge, this course will give it to you.
