Great Course to play for Experienced Golfers

This is a pretty challenging course with a lot of trouble. It is one of my favorite courses in the Sacramento and Placer County area. The course is always in good shape, and the pace of play is alway solid. My last round took a little less than 4 hours.

Walked

Excellent course

It was a beautiful day, not too hot. Played in about 4.5 hours. Walked as a single, paid a great rate of $20.

Only other comment is that there was no starter on the first tee, and it wasn't apparent that I was the only person with a 7:50 tee time. I eventually caught up and joined a twosome ahead.

Fun in the hills

Fun course with great views and lots of elevation changes. Greens, tee boxes and fairways all in excellent shape. There are some tight fairways, but quite fair. If you get the chance to try this track do it, lots of fun.

Great day in the Sun

Decided late Saturday to play a round of golf Sunday. Found a great price for The Ridge. They told me when I had arrived that the greens had been punched 3 weeks prior, but the greens were in pretty good shape. Very satisfied with every aspect of the course. Definitely a course you need to play.

Get a deal and go

I have driven passed this place for years. Never played it because it always looks super busy. I found a good price and decided it was time for a trip up the hill. The couse was aerated recently so no one was there. The place is beautiful. Even in "recovery" conditions, I had a great day. Fun and worth the drive.

This course is always fun to play

We always enjoy playing at The Ridge. The course is well maintained, the staff courteous and helpful and the course is difficult enough to challenge one's ability, but not so difficult as to take away the pleasure of playing.

Second time around

Do to the aerification of greens back nine was closed for play, which caused a much slower pace the second time around when more players were coming on. Other than that course is a beautiful place to play.

Beautiful Course, Very tough

Had a fun round. Had golfed here before a couple years ago and the course greens were recently aerated, so I got a discounted rate. This was the first time I golfed here when the greens were in normal shape and it was very noticeable. I don't believe I have ever golfed with greens so fast, and with the course being normally tough it just added to its difficulty. Pace of play was great. Golfed 18 holes in 3 1/2 hours, fun and enjoyable.

Love The Ridge

This is one of my favorite golf courses anywhere! A great deal of variation, no 2 holes are alike. The course is really fun, but the score can get ugly if you do not stay focused all the way around. Any hole can become an "other" quickly. The bunkers have been sanded with deep, fine sand which I find great to play out of on the geenside bunkers.
I love this place.

Best public golf I've found

I didn't know what to expect for $30. Let's just say I'm beyond impressed. A challenging and fun course! It fits the eye well and has very lush grass currently. The greens are in fantastic shape and putt fast and true! The greens are also undulating /tiered so they are very entertaining! I brought friends with me the next day because it is so affordable! Foods good too! This is the best public couse I've found dollars/sense wise!!

Best value in Placer County

$39, golf and cart,, this is an unbelievable value! Second time I've played this course. Granted it was during the middle of the week at 10 AM, but the course could not be in better shape. I wouldn't hesitate to play this course again. Cart and GPS were invaluable. Pace of play was excellent.
