Thanksgiving day

Beautiful is exactly what this course is But, it also is challenging for though of us who struggle with ball control lots of places to go hunting and lots of rewards (lost balls of others) for thoughs who will actually look for there balls in the OB. Greens have excellent speed very consistent through the whole course fast and fun. Great job staff. Thanks

My Day at The Ridge

Very nice facilities with a friendly staff. Course was in excellent shape. Teed off ahead of schedule so who doesn't like that. Pace of play started to slow down around #8 and I noticed that I didn't see a Marshall anywhere all day. Ended up with a 5+ hour round however I played with three friends so we found ways of passing the time between shots. No worries.....I'll be back.

Not their fault

I've played The Ridge on several different occasions, once being a high end fundraising tournament with the course in immaculate condition. When I played Saturday October 17, 2015 the area had just experienced some overnight downpours. As a result I found the course to be pretty slushy in many areas, not typical of any of my previous experiences. Other than the out of anyone's control downpour contributing to less than desirable course conditions in numerous places, I found the rest of the course to be great. Greens rolled true, fairways were groomed nicely, tee boxes in good shape, sand bunkers drained well, and the rough was very playable.

Carts were not allowed on the course, and I can understand why. This led to a little slower play than normal, however our group managed to play 18 holes in about for and a half hours.

I had a great time and would highly suggest this Golf course to anyone wanting to test their Golf skills on a nice but challenging course.

Good course; not in great shape

Always a good course and challenging but it's been a long, hot, dry summer in Northern CA and the course is showing the stress. Also, stuck behind two extremely slow foursomes and that made for a 5 hour round. Still had a good time and would come back.

E cellent course

We really enjoyed the trip to the Ridge. We felt welcome. We had an sunday starting time after a tournament, but never had to wait at all. We were teamed up with two locals who helped us with a few suggestions on where not to hot the baal. It improved our score. They were both pleasant to play with, with a similar handicap.
The course itself was in good condition, tee, fairways and greens were really green. The coyrse is not simple, it is not for nothing called the ridge. We lost a few balls in the harzard, but were fortunate that they were marked with red stakes.
Overall a very worthwhile experience. Afterwards we had a beer and a burger in the bar, and were pleased again with the service.
We will recommend this course to everybody!

don't play here unless you gave game

This course is a challenge. I love it even though it is quite a drive from my home.

My continuous issue is this is such a tough course, pace of play suffers and there is no pace monitoring. On this day, we were the 4th group off....the 3rd group played in over 5 hours with no one holding them up. Am sure the group combined for at least 500 strokes. If you are a 18 index or higher, you may want to try an easier course, you will have no. fun here

If you've played it you know

I am hesitant to write such an excellent review because I don't want this gem of a course to get overcrowded. Elevated fairways, immaculate fairways, fair layout that challenges both long and short game, and a few very very tough greens (I like that). If you play it, reserve the driver for only those holes that are obvious or you may regret it.

They need marshals on the course

I enjoyed the course very much and thought it was in very good condition. I was very disappointed in the pace of play. Took over five hours. I know they use a computer system tracking the carts on the course but they need marshals on the course to speed up slow groups and ensure a maximum 4.5 hr rounds for all the golfers on the course. I don't know if they even expect a 4.5 hr pace since our GPS system on our cart said we were only 27 min behind pace as we we starting the 17th hole (We were already on the course for about 5 hrs). We were waiting on every tee box and fairway for the group in front of us for the entire 18 holes. On the 18th hole ( a long par 4) there were four groups on the (1 on the green, 1 just short of the green, 1 in the tee land area, and us on the tee box.). A bachelor party of 8 was playing behind us and played as an Eightsome after the 7th hole because it was so slow and we could not pull away from the eightsome because of the slow play of groups ahead of us.
Again the course was extremely enjoyable but they need one or two marshals on the course to ensure a good pace of play (<4.5hrs)

Challenging but fun!

The scorecard, bunkers, and hills can look intimidating but it's a lot of fun! Only played it twice before, it was my husband's first time. He loved it, especially after putting a couple pars on the card. The staff was very friendly! We were expecting to get paired with another group since it was just the two of us and a Sunday, but nope, went alone! A plus for us. We will be back!

Excellent golf course

This is an excellent golf course and a very good value. Challenging layout, the course appears short if you look at the scorecard, but there is plenty of length due to the hills. The course is in very good condition, given the drought in California. Very nice clubhouse. Staff was quite friendly. Mats only on the driving range was the only disappointment.

Amazing course and service

This was one of the most memorable golf experiences ever. I get up to the Roseville area once every few months and this was the best course for the money I have ever played. The gentleman at the pro shop was the BEST!!! Super friendly and comped me a small range token because I opted to walk. Working in the service industry this goes a long way with me. Anyway, I will be back here every single time. I will be a true Customer For Life with The Ridge.

The Ridge

The course itself is good shape, with this bad drought I was surprised.
The pace of play was not great, no marshall's to get group's going. The front nine played almost 3 hours. Guys playing multiple tee balls instead of play the lateral hazard line.
I finally quit on the 13th hole with three groups waiting for the tee.
Maybe getting a marshall to speed up play would be something to look at. The course is to nice to let this type of play happen. I might go back but it will be early next time

We're sorry to hear that you didn't have a great round with us at The Ridge. We don't have any physical marshal's out on the course because our carts are equipped with GPS and it allows us to manage and track the carts on the course. When a group falls behind we notify them by sending a message on the GPS to pick up the pace and catch up with the group in front of them. Either way, we apologize for the slow play. Thank you for letting us know, we will make sure to pass these concerns along to the appropriate people. Thank you for your review!
