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
Value
Summer special rate, great value for this course. Keep the ball in play. do not chase into Sticky weeds off fairways as you will be pulling burrs off your clothes for hours.
Yikes - sorry to hear about the burrs! We're glad you took advantage of our summer specials and hope you come back in the near future! Thanks for the great review!
Great course
The course is in great shape, despite the water shortage. Greens rolled true and were not too hard. Great rate on Golfnow.com, too!
Lant - thank you so much for giving us an outstanding review! We think the course is in great shape too and we're happy you noticed. We hope to see you back sooner than later!
Foothills Gem
The Ridge was a treat!
Lovely course nestled in Auburn with great conditions and challenging golf holes.
Given the drought and other courses conditions, this course is well worth the drive.
Wow SandyDad, thank you for taking the time to give us a stellar review! We love to hear that we are worth the drive. Feel free to encourage your friends to make the drive! Hope to see you soon!
Always chalenging golf course
This is a course that you have to keep the ball in play in order to score, you miss a fairway your toast in spots.
Thanks for taking the time to review the course! Our course is definitely challenging but we're happy to know you were up for it! Come back and see us soon!
Great course
I had played Darkhorse, in the area, and was told also to try this course. I am from Ky, and was here for the Senior Open. Both courses are outstanding, but different.
Ridge is a great layout, and was in extremely good condition, considering the drought in the area.
Jim - we're so glad to hear that you gave us a a try and enjoyed the course so much! We love to hear that the course conditions are great, especially during this drought! We hope on your next trip from Kentucky, you visit with us again! Thank you for the outstanding review!
Great course but where's the staff???
As a frequent golfer (80+ rounds a year) I was excited to come play the ridge again. Course is tough but always in good condition. Unfortunately it's hard to enjoy a round this slooooow. T time was 8:25 got to t off around 8:45 since they were already drastically behind. Slow from start but at 7 hole showed up to a group of 8 . They eventually split up to two 4's but the damage was done. Total round took about 5:45. Things happen....no big deal and on a Saturday it can be expected. However my biggest concern is the staff. In close to 6 hours did not see 1 Marshall. Even the cheap courses like bing and Bartley manage pace of play better. When checking in the desk man did not let us know t off was late and had the personality of a rock(none). I believe they should make the greens keeper manage the staff because course conditions were great but staff was not. At $50 a piece I would expect much more. Might as well pay $20 more and make the drive to Yocha, or better yet if in auburn head to dark horse or auburn valley for comparable rates you'll always least get a smile from the staff.
We apologize about your unpleasant experience with our staff member and with the pace of play on Saturday the 27th.
We had a group of 4 players show up with out a tee time and we managed to put them out on the course in the morning but unfortunately, put us behind by 10 minutes. Then the group of 8 that you spoke of was running late to the tee which also caused us to be behind so our apologies again for the 20 minute delay. In regards to why we do not have a marshal, our golf 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 but again still no excuse for a 5:45 round. Unfortunately, our course is fairly difficult as well and many players do have a tough time with managing the pace of play. We strive to hit a pace of play at just under 5 hours for our course.
We hope that you come back soon and have a much more positive experience. Thank you again for your comments and input as this helps us to improve on our service.
Slope 130
Plays a tough 130 slope. Not too long, Good mixture of long, short, tight, sloping holes. Par five are short but challenging. Lot of local knowledge needed.
Rodlee, thanks for taking the time to review our course! We are pleased to know you enjoy the different holes we offer. Come back soon and bring your friends!
An Excellent Golf Experience
Played on a Sunday, and finished in four hours, which was amazing. Challenging course for sure, something I always seek in selecting a golf course. Great conditions for both fairways and greens. Facilities are first class, fod in the restaurant is amazing, and the staff is the best. Great value for the money and alway worth the drive from Lincoln, CA.
DWagner - thank you so much for the excellent review! We are incredibly happy to hear that you were pleased with not only our course conditions but also our restaurant and staff! Feel free to make the drive from Lincoln more often, we can't wait to have you back!
Very , very nice!
The course is a relatively short distance from a major freeway, and in a hilly region of the Greater Sacramento area, about 90 minutes from Lake Tahoe. While it's conditions are typical of drought-sensitive California, it's still interested really good shape. The fairways are wide, but deceptive; with very scenic, rocky dry creek, manmade lakes, and heavy -brush out of bounds areas, better be accurate or else. The greens right now are a pot slower than I suspected for the temperature. Careful or you'll be frustrated at how many putts you'll leave short. The clubhouse is beautiful. I'd be surprised if this joint doesn't make most its revenue off weddings and special events. The staff were pretty polite and friendly. pace of play was right at 4.5 hours. That's saying something on a holiday weekend, with no marshal anywhere to be found. I will absolutely be back.
Kevin - thank you for the stellar review! We appreciate your feedback on the speed of the greens, as we are always striving to improve our golf course. We look forward to your next round with us!
check out the bronze statues
Look at the building diagonally to your right as you are leaving. That is where they make the statues.
Thanks for the 5-star review and for noticing our unique statues around the course! Look for some cool pictures on our Facebook in the future!
Golf day at the Ridge
Perfect day. Started on time. Had some great shots as well as some not so good shots. Overall it was a great day for my brother-in-law and myself.
We're always happy to hear when someone has a great time at our golf course! We look forward to having you and your brother-in-law back out here!
Need to have a marshal
Very disappointed the course did not have a marshal. They had some type of 2 man scramble before our group and allowed the last group to have 6 players. Golf Now should have had an alert to this. One o'clock tee time and didn't finish till 6:45 pm. Would have played somewhere else if I had known. If they had a marshal, they might have also known there was a broken water line near the 15th green. With the drought, this is totally unacceptable. Go play somewhere where they care a little more. On the plus side, it is a nice course and the cart girl was very nice.
We're so sorry to hear you didn't enjoy your round of golf with us at The Ridge. We were extremely busy that afternoon and we were unaware of the group of 6 on the course. Please let us know if you see anything like that again and we would be more than happy to address that issue.
We don’t have marshals because our carts are equipped with GPS units that let us know the pace of play and where everyone is on the course. We sent multiple messages to all of the carts that were behind. Unfortunately, we were so busy there was no place for them to go, as each hole was occupied by golfers. 5 hours and 45 minutes is slow and we apologize for this. Our average play time in the afternoon on a weekend is typically 5 hours due to the high volume of players and the difficulty of the course.
As for the broken pipe, it is very unfortunate that this happened. Our superintendent was notified and the pipe was fixed within 30 minutes. We are, in fact, in a severe drought and in the last 5 years, our superintendent has completed multiple projects that have helped us reduce our water usage significantly. We have gone above and beyond the mandated 10% reduction and have reduced our water usage by 20%!
We hope you will give us another chance and come back out!
course in fair condition
Some good some bad. Aerated some of the fairways and greens seemed a little bumpy on some greens. Otherwise challenging but very fair course.
Thanks for taking the time to review our course! We hope you come back out and experience the course in a little better shape!
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.
Thanks for your review Mark! We're happy to hear we're your favorite course! We'll see back on the course soon!
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.
Thank you for letting us know what we can work on and we appreciate your review! We look forward to having you back!
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.
We're so glad you had a great time with us! Thank you for your great review and we hope to see you again soon!
Bobbo
Always a challenge but still enjoyable. I will continue to come back.
Thanks for taking the time to give us a great review! We look forward to having you back!
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.
Craig, thank you for the awesome review! We appreciate you taking the time to let us know you enjoyed your round with us! Come back soon!
nice tract but slow
Nice tract but very slow. Left after 11 holes. 3 groups on 1 hole. Never seen a marshall on the course to speed up pace of play.
Thanks for taking time to bring this to our attention. We appreciate the review and will take this into consideration when trying to improve the golfer experience.
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!
