The Ridge Golf Course & Events Center

My first time playing at The Ridge. I really liked the layout and overall the course was in good condition. However the greens are still recovering from being punched and it was really difficult to score. After the round, nobody in my threesome recalled anyone making anything more than a 3 footer! I get it, greens need this treatment, but I don’t think I should pay full price when I don’t have full use of the golf course.

Have been interested in playing this course for some time. Booked tee time 5 days in advance and drove 2 hours to play only to learn at check in that front nine was closed for aerating so played back nine twice. Would have been nice to know before I made the drive.

Nice course but limited number of holes made pace of play extremely slow.

The front nine was closed for punching greens. So I played back nine. Carts were cart path only. Ok, I need the exercise. The course is difficult for a high handicap golfer. I was pretty dejected after triple bogey most holes. Decided not to play back nine again. Went to range to practice. Had I known the front nine was closed I would not have made the tee time. This is not the first time arrive to course and find the greens recently punched. In summary beautiful day and course. Off course amenities look great. My tee cost was still cheaper than if I had gone through course. They were charging $45 and that was $10 discount.

I will try it again.

Young Men in pro shop barely payed attention to check me in. Never saw a Marshall and play was very slow. Course is over watered and over priced

Beyond frustrated with The Ridge. I booked and paid in advance for a morning tee time. I received an email the day before my tee time and said they double booked by accident. The course didn’t offer up another tee time and didn’t issue a refund. I did like this course but this is bad way to do business.

Ya, sure The Ridge is busy. But, that's because it's a FUN COURSE, for a FAIR PRICE. The Ridge absorbed, all of the rounds that used to get played, at Auburn Valley. I would rather play the Ridge 3-4 rounds. Then play Winchester 1 time. The Ridge is in better shape than Winchester.

The course was exceptional with rolling hills, great scenery and challenging greens.

But the deal breaker was that the golf course management oversold tee times, slowing up course movement to a standstill at times, with 10 minute waits on almost every hole. A regular player there said this was common as the " course was so popular."

Well, I'll tell you long wait times make for a bad experience and unpopular course -- especially when you pay premium money and don't even get to finish your round. We started at 2:20 and left at 6:50 after only finishing hole 15. There was barely a hal-hour of sunlight left as movement at the end got especially backed up.

In addition, there were no course monitors pushing play along or encouraging slow players to speed up their rounds. For these reasons, I won't be back.

This was my first time on this course. I really enjoyed the variety of play provided by course layout although I would have preferred fewer and/or smaller bunkers. Pace of play was SLOW however, at over FIVE HOURS on a weekday afternoon - can't imagine what weekends are like. Did not see a marshal all day. They could use one.

This is one of the best courses in the area. It's very technical and challenging. Alway kept up well.

The greens were slow and had recently been cross mowed. Normally these multi level greens are a bear. But when you add the fact that the greens needed mowing and they were cross mowed; it made putting a nightmare.

Had I known; I never would have paid $57 for greens in this condition.

I've played this course alot of times,but nvr had a near 6 hr round till now,it really sucked!The course looked great but was drenched in so many areas,creating sum bad shots,like hitting out of muddy grass!!

This has been on my list of places to play for a while and it was worth the drive from Sacramento (~50 minute drive). Staff was friendly and check in was easy. Driving range was only using mats instead of grass, but that’s not a huge deal. The layout of the course is really cool with some elevated tee boxes and some precariously placed bunkers. A good test of golf in the Foothills. The course was water logged in some areas, to the point where your foot would splash up some water. There were also some dirt and dead grass areas throughout. Not sure if there was a maintenance issue going on but I’m giving them the benefit of the doubt. The fact the course is less than 1/2 mile away from two killer breweries (Knee Deep and Moonraker) is just an added bonus. Glad I crossed it off my list!

Its been hot, but the course was wet showing over watering throughout the course. Some fairways were so wet that carts were prohibited which makes no sense. But it is a great course and fun to play.
