Great day on the Ridge

I love the layout of the course but the pace of play was terrible. We had a twosome and asked if we could go out early and were told no so we ended up behind foursomes that were extraordinary slow and would not let us play through. There appeared to be no groups in front of the 2 groups of 4 that would not let us play through causing us to have a round of golf at just under 5 1/2 hrs.

That pace of play took all the fun out of the round.

I would love to try the course again at a 4-4 1/2 hr round as it should be.

Beautiful Course

Wonderful course to play. Every hole is picturesque. The staff was great. very helpful and friendly. The fairways and undulating greens were in excellent shape.

Some of the bunkers were unkempt, but the ones I hit out of provided good true shots. No mud or pavment style club bounce.

We all had great holes and also blow up holes, but just a fun round. Finished in 4:20. Good pace for a Saturday 9:00 tee time.

On a course with a lot of hazards, I only lost one ball. In the water where the photo was taken.

Worth the 1 hour 10 minute drive to get there.

awesome course

Fun and Very Challenging layout

Greens were in great shape... pretty quick

Fairways in good condition

Rough needs to be trimmed... our group lost a few balls off the tee that should have been found just a few paces off the fairways. Even switching to a High Vis ball mid round still proved difficult to locate. i have a feeling that the grounds crew are going to be chewing up a bunch of balls in their mowers!

Slow play and grass not cut

A five hour round is not normal???? Why do you think it is?

Tee boxes, fairways needed moving. Course was wetter than expected with no rain?

4+ hours to play 12 holes?!

after a night of heavy rain the course was cart path only. no problem, except that they booked tee times every 10 minutes. our round was 4+ hours to play 12 holes. UNACCEPTABLE! if they are going to make it cart path only, its smart and sensible to book less tee times in order to facilitate the pace of play. on hole 7 for example, had us on the tee, TWO groups of 4 on the fairway and one group on the green. we left after 12 holes. oh, and NO marshall to even attempt to get groups moving a little quicker. bad job , eagle ridge

Wish the course conditions were better

Tee box conditions were very poor -- soggy grounds, uneven, and long grass. Green condition were fair, but not good. I guess they don't want to cut the green too often.

Good value but awful pace of play

The course was in great shape as always but they lack a course Marshall so the pace of play is awful. We quit after 14 holes because we' were already 5 1/2 hours into the round. It's a really beautiful course and great value only if they do something about the pace of play.

nice course but tight

Played there this morning. Nice layout, very friendly staff. Limited food items. Course was generally good but the bunkers need extensive work. I was told that up front which was nice. It's a straight hitters course with no bailouts on any hole with trouble left and right. Greens were very nice and rolled well. It's a very good course for the money.
