all the auburn courses are great for the money, this is one of the best.

why anyone would play anywhere else for the money is beyond comprehension. great holes, no nonsense or trickery. for 30 bucks and less why would anyone play winchester for 75 dollars, with golf now all the auburn/foothill courses are a steal, thanx.

spectacular course

First time playing the course. Played on May 3rd in the afternoon. Played the tips. First of all the course is in great condition. Fantastic greens. Many sand traps guarding most every green but a manageable track. The greens are very undulated and the pins were tucked so they played very, very tough. Overall a great track in great shape. Price is VERY reasonable for the nice course.

Very interesting layout!

Had a great time on my first visit. The course has beautiful holes with lots of topo changes. The greens are in excellent shape and challenging but not crazy. I will certainly make the 70 mile drive again to return!

The Ridge

Signed up with Golf Now. Very easy and a great price.
It was my first time to play The Ridge. The golf course is very nice and beautiful. Nice mixture of flat and hilly holes. There is also an even mixture of easy, moderate and hard holes. I would advise to bring your "sand" game. The bunkers are very strategically placed. You must drive the ball well to play well here.

Beautiful track

This course was very playable and in great shape, other than the greens had been punched about a month ago and appeared to not have been cut or rolled the day we golfed, so putts were very slow - we figured rolling about 6 or 7. Other than that, we both loved the course. Rated it in the top three we have played so far and will definitely be back.

Nice challenge

The course has some challenging holes. There are narrow fairways, blind doglegs, rock ravines, water ball eaters, and rolling greens that are a hard read. Overall the course was fun to play. I would go back...especially with the great price I received through "Golf now"

Great par 3's

The par-3's are the most interesting holes, while the par-5 tee shots are also fun (mostly downhill with good views).
The fairways are in nice shape.
The new GPS carts are helpful.
The greens were aerated and sanded, which made for ugly putting, but when I have played it previously, the greens were in good condition.
Pace of play is usually 4.5 hours, mid-week.

Challenging course, excellent greens

Play the tee boxes appropriate to your handicap as this course will test every part of your game. Great conditioning, fairly quick undulating greens.

Great course and challenging greens (but fair).

The Ridge was in good condition. Greens were fast and dry and challenging. Great course that I'd definitely come out and play again.

Challenging but fair

A course that will challenge any level of golfer from various tees. Need to play a few times to understand the best attack from the tees. Greens can be very demanding depending upon pin placement. Overall a somewhat frustrating but fun outing if you don't take your first outing there too seriously.

Great shape

Played 3-2-13. The course is in great shape especially considering the time of year. The greens are fast and true. Some may think the greens are unfair because of the speed and undulations but they are consistent. The greens are scheduled to be aerated soon so if you enjoy fast greens I would suggest getting out there. Due to the mild winter the fairways and rough are in great shape going into spring. I have played this course about 6 times a year for more than a decade and this is the best I have seen it after winter.

Great pace of play

I've played here a lot since it opened and it rarely has slow play due to relatively high non discounted green fees. The course is a little rough right now which is to be expected coming out of the winter season but they take good care of it so it will green up nicely in the spring weather.
Lots of trees, sloping greens and fairways make it difficult based on the days pin placement. You can see why the LPGA had events in the past here.

The Ridge continues to be a challenging but fair course, well maintained, greens in good shape, bunkers need attention.

I try and play this course every six weeks or so because it is a challenging but fair set up. The overall maintenance was very good for this time of year. The greens rolled nicely and the fairways were dry. The bunkers needed some attention, a lot of rocks and stones. Played in just over 4 hours. The starter was very pleasant and encouraging. I will be back soon. Price was very good on Golfnow. I would recommend this course.

Need more amenities like club cleaners on cart.

No club cleaners on carts. Computer on cart caused the cart to stop on the cart path on #11. Had to back up and in the process of turning around I got stuck in the mud where someone else had been stuck. Had to push and pull the cart and eventually back up the cart path. Injured my back due to manhandling the cart. The price I paid was good but the course is overpriced at regular rates.
Miss a fairway and the rocks under the dirt will tear up your clubs.

This course is not for the faint of heart.

Right now the course is in very good shape. The greens are perfect, but be prepared for a uphill battle. The narrow fairways and punishing rough give new meaning to "keep it in the short grass". A really great course. Keep an eye out for rattlesnakes and blue birds.
