So Sad:(

The heat must have gotten to the Ridge. It's so sad to see it in this condition, it's always been nice. They've sprayed to kill a weed in the fairways, you can still hit the ball from those places. The fairways are burned, you can't play the ball down. The bunkers have needed work for sometime, no sand in many, very thin. The tee boxes are burned. The greens were playable. Can't wait for it to heal.

Real rough shape

Worst shape I've ever seen this course in. Probably the worst condition of any course I've ever played. This was more than just end of summer burnt. It was patchy. Crab grass everywhere. Pebbles in the bunkers. One tee box would be sandy. The next would be lumpy and burnt out. Not worth the money.

Golf is getting more experience and course maintenance is getting worse.

Fun but challenging course for a high handicapper

Great course. Well designed. The greens and bunkers are very challenging. Only negative was the sanded greens. The hot weather is tough on the course.

Difficult but fair

Pace of play was mediocre, 4 hr 45 minutes on a Sunday isn’t quite fast enough. Greens were quick downhill but had some bumps and lots of ballmarks. I must have fixed about 40 through the day. Overall a fun course, green slopes are no joke in some spots.

Challenging course that will kick your butt and be a blast.

Course is so fun and in great condition - greens and approaches are tough but the challenge is so fun! Only downside for off course amenities are the cafe/bar don’t open until 11am.

Best Course in the Area

This course is the most challenging course in Nevada County and still manages to be a very enjoyable time. The course management system on the carts is a little strict at times but nothing round ruining and the ability to Bluetooth and play music from the carts is a nice bonus as well.
