nothing less than magnificent

The views...... Wow
The greens are insane...
The staff are awesome....

This is without fear of contradictions the finest course I've played so far. Testing and tricky with elevation, fine fine course.

In the words of the Guv'nor I'LL BE BACK

Great Value in the Foothills

I love this course. Every hole is challenging. You can be rewarded for good shots and definitely penalized for bad shots. The course has changes in elevation that aren't too severe but make it very interesting. Greens are always in good shape. I highly recommend this course.

Very nice

A very nice course for the money. I got tee times on golf now. The driving range can use some attention though. New mats, the old ones are beyond trash. Options for hitting off the grass would be nice.
7 bucks for a Bloody Mary little pricey.
Those two minor things however wouldn't stop me from playing here many more times.

Warmer than Reno

We needed to get to some warmer weather and Auburn is a quick 1.5 over the hill. The Ridge has easy access to the freeway, good specials on-line and we enjoy the course.

Great Layout, Make Sure it's Dry

Course is beautiful with outstanding greens. It's pricy and pace of play is always 4.5 hours +. If it's wet at all, the course is almost unplayable from tee-green. It will inevitably be cart path only and the rough will saturated in areas to the point where you could lose your ball. Great course to play on a hot deal in the summer but wouldn't recommend paying more than $35 to play.

Good but slow

Great course. Play there all the time. They could really use a marshal when they are full. They allowed a couple of five-somes out, which is fine if they keep pace, but they didn't. Took my twosome 5 hrs to play a round. Could have used a marshal or the message system on the cart's gps to speed the slow groups up.

as usual great

Great weather to match a course in great shape.
Only minor complaint the ball marks on the greens
Can always find more than yours on every green, but not as many as other area courses. Come on players fix'em it's easy.

Superior Course

One of the nicest courses I've played in quite awhile. Great layout, with spacious fairways, greens outstanding. Condition of tees, fairways, chipping areas and greens top notch. Only negative point some of the bunkers appeared to be washed out and hardpan. Wasn't in a bunker all day so can't rarte the sand condition. Green speed I'd rate as fast! I holed quite a few 6 - 10 footers since the greens rolled smooth and quick, also 3 putted a few. Carts have coolers and ice is available. Definate play if you get a chance and for the Hotdeal price it is a steal.

The Ridge

The course was in amazing condition. I had to change carts before playing, left my wallet in the other cart, the staff located my wallet an hr later and brought it to me with everything intact.
Great course, excellent service.

A wonderful rack

The Ridge is a beautiful and interesting course with the right amount of challenges. The course is fair, rewards good shots, and not so much if you hit poor ones. I look forward to the next round at The Ridge

tough course

This is a very changlllening course but fun,the course and greens were under maintaince,greens all sanded heavy,lots of trouble if your an average or somewhat not a low handicap player,I found it fun even as a single,would have been better to pair with someone,and alot of green renovation or dressings,I liked it and will play again with someone with me,tough be ready,also had to rush due to fire reports near my home,so next time I'll slow down and have a better experience.

Course was better than expected

This is a quality course, challenging, but also very fun for average golfers. The afternoon price of $31 for 18 with a cart was exceptional for a course of this quality. I recommend trying it at least once, and I am sure you will return often. I will!
