Foothill golf close to Sacramento and the Sierra's.

This course is hilly and challenging and definitely lives up to your expectations for a foothill golf experience. The GPS on the golf carts makes pace of play much faster than without. Scenery is beautiful with no homes facing the course as yet. The clubhouse has an elevated view of the 10th fairway and a good menu for dining in.

This course has lots of uphill and downhill fairways that require good course management for rookies.

It would have been a great day, except for the smoky conditions due to a forest fire that was within 30 miles of the course. The smoke travels downhill out of the Sierras every evening and doesn't go away until after 2:00pm. Golf was great and a challenge for rookies, but the smoke made for watery eyes.

Nice course

If you can stay out of the bunkers you should score well. Nice hilly course which I enjoy playing.

Need precision to master this course

You need precision and a little bit of shot shaping off the tee to score well here. Oak trees and bunkers pinched in on some of the landing areas so it visually appears tight on many holes.
The greens were slower than expected, and with the heat, some spots were too soaked with water to dig in a wedge. It was a very good test. I was surprised the par 3's were all roughly the same length. This was my first time out there .. you need a few times out to master it I think. As mentioned, there is water and rocky scrub (rattlesnake heaven) on numerous holes
that can cause fits if you are having a less-than-accurate day with your shots. Lots of variety in hole shapes and elevations.

great course, got it all

Always fun to play the Ridge. It has most every challenge you could ask for....water, dog-legs, up hill, down hill, narrow fairways, generous fairways, length, it's got it all. I have never seen it crowded, but then again, I am retired and play during the week.

Slow Greens but still worth it

The course was great today. I read the previous reviews about pace of play and we were out in 3hrs/45min. The course is in great shape but the greens were surprisingly slow. I expected more on that front but I can't wait to go back. I live in Sacramento and its worth the drive!

Pace of play a major issue !!!!

Nice course, good design, many great holes....BUT, there was no marshall. On the back nine we were waiting on every shot while the second group up from us took mulligans, multiple putts. We were close to six hours on the course. The couple playing with us had enough by 16 and left the course in a huff. We will not book the Ridge again.

Fast small greens with some very tricky par 3s

Great course in great shape even after a shotgun tournament prior to my play. I struggled with 3s with several water shots in play from the blues. Lots of elevation changes on this fantastic course. Some narrow fairways kept the driver in the bag. I will be back!

Challenging and fun

Course difficulty made the play a bit slow, but aside from the greens, the course was in excellent shape. The green were slow and grainy, but had they been mowed, they probably would have been fine. Tees and fairways were in good shape.
