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.

A challenge

Course in very good condition. Several holes on the back 9 required carts on path which was annoying. Greens were a little unfair being extremely fast.

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.

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.
