Golfer Reviews
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.
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.
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.
Tim - we're so glad you finally made the trip up the hill! We hope you pay us another visit now that the course is healed up! Thanks for the great review!
Good condition
Very good, always like this course. It is a little shorter than most but that's why I like it.
We appreciate you taking time to review our course! We'll see you back soon!
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.
Thank you for the amazing review and your kind words about the course. We look forward to seeing you out on the course again!
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.
Thanks for the great review! . We appreciate your patience as we continue to maintain the golf course! Come give us another try, the whole course is open and the greens healed beautifully!
The Ridge
Nice course, very nice scenery, good quality greens, well kept.
Thank you for taking time to review our course! We hope to see you back soon!
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.
slow play
Would like to enjoy the course at a 4hr pace the track is a great setting was spoiled by a 5 hr round
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.
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!
