Mild March day

Unique, challenging design. Played 6,400 yd tees. Not a long course but challenging. Tight in spots, some water, and elevation changes. Also, undulating greens with tough pin placements. Wind can be a factor. Very nice greens but as with many public course, many patrons are bad about not repairing ball marks. Only criticism is below average range with mats, but not atypical of CA public golf. Enjoyed it - would play again.

AWESOME, Goregeous course

The is the most gorgeous course I have ever played. It is hilly, long, challenging, and very fun. Plan on losing a few balls either in the deep rough, trees, rocks, or water. The rough is so deep that it is almost impossible to get out of.

I have only 2 minor complaints: #1: The fairways and rough were recently moved and all of the grass clipping were left laying on the ground, making it hard to hit out of. #2: The grounds were over watered making the fairways very soggy, especially in the low lying areas.

I can't wait to get back on this course!!

Robert Trent Jones nailed it!

This was our first time here. We were a little afraid the course would be dry because of the drought. Far from it! The course is in excellent shape. Well maintained. The staff was super friendly. The course is challenging, but still fun for duffers. You pretty much need to stay in the fairways, but don't you always? The greens are undulating and fast, but roll true. We had a most enjoyable round and will recommend this course to friends and will certainly be back. I took lots of photos, it's that beautiful.

Typical RTJ

Typical Robert Trent Jones course. Lots of sand that is almost always in play. Club selection is critical. Undulating greens require touch. It's a nice departure to play a particularly challenging course. I thoroughly enjoyed it.

Great course.

The course has some issue. If you take your cart past a cart sign it shuts down and you can only back out. You can't get closer then 100 yards of the green's so be ready for a lot of walking. The green's are fast so be ready for that. We did enjoy the course and would play it again and recommend it to anyone.

Green in great shape

Greens were punched about 4 weeks ago and are now rolling great. A few wet spots in fairway killed a few drives, probably due to the 15 degree cool down from the week before. Always a challenging course.

Fun to play but well worth it

This course can be very challenging and it puts a premium on accuracy. It's somewhat of a target course due to the many hazards. Remember to bring extra balls.

The Ridge Is A Grind

This course is difficult and plays pretty long, but it is fair and fun as well.

If you are reading this review to get an idea of the course, I can tell you: Most of the green complexes are guarded by deep bunkers, the greens are fast and challenging, the par 5s are not the kind you reach in 2 and water is in play on several holes.

This course will test good players. The Ridge is a grind.

Slow and slower

It will be quite a while before we return here to play. They had some kind of small tournament in the middle of the day with really poor golfers that caused us to wait on every hole. Result was a new personal worst 5 1/2 hour round. Course did not disclose the tournament. No ranger on course, likely to save money. And they wonder why Millenials are not taking up the game? I have too many other choices in the Auburn area.

Firstly, we love this coarse. We play it whenever we are in Auburn. We love the GPS on the carts! Great graphics and accuracy. We hate the GPS on the carts. The GPS stops your cart when you're 3 inches off coarse.

After reading many reviews, the question of pace pops up. Has the course management team addressed "slow play" issues that appear to be a theme in several of the reviews ? When one reads that pace has customers walking off the course on the back nine and not finishing--not good.
