One of the best in Alabama

Cider Ridge is one of the best courses I've played so far. GolfNow hot deal price makes it an incredible bargain. Course is very scenic and well maintained, with pristine fairways and fast rolling greens. Staff was very helpful - young man helped me find the first tee which was a long drive from the club house - past the driving range.

It was definitely worth the drive from Birmingham and I can't wait to go and play again soon.

Prepare to Be Surprised

I can't express how much I love this place. We look forward to our annual trip here every year. Exciting course with challenging and breathtaking holes. Great service from a very friendly staff. It will surprise you what a special gem you will find tucked away off the beaten path in Oxford, AL. I highly recommend this course.

Friendly Staff

The course was in good condition except for some of the greens. There was several bare spots on some of the greens. Probably due to the extreme heat we have had lately. I will try playing again this fall when temperatures are milder.

Disappointed

With a top rating for the courses in Alabama, I thought this would be a can't miss. I called the staff the day before I played to learn of course conditions. I was told it was in great shape, and would be worth my time to drive over from Georgia.

I was saddened to find that the greens were in terrible shape. Staff , layout and other conditions were good, but , with poor greens the experience was muted.

It might be worth a drive, if they get the greens in shape.

Great times

This is not my first time here. My friends call my a golf snob. No offense I just don't like playing cow pastures. My friends and I play a lot of THE RTJ Golf trail. They are alway in great shape. Anyway Cider Ridge has a #5i rating in the state of Alabama. Fairways are lush, greens are fast and true. Staff was very thoughtful and friendly. If you go tell Rooster hi. The only thing that did stick in my craw was they didn't have Corona beer. Great place, Great time.

Great Course

Love the course. The front side is a little easier than the back. I wish I could have started on #1 instead of #10 but had a great day on the course and will be back again this year.

All holes are different

Fun course to play. In very good shape. Hilly in many areas but designed so you have fairly flat lies to hit from in most cases.

Don't miss this jewel if in the Oxford area.

Fantastic experience great course for any price, but a real bargain for under $40. Staff was very friendly and sandwiches in restaurant were very good.

Hidden Gem

My Dad, Brother, and I love this course. It is tucked away off the beaten path but a great deal for the money. We have played this course several times and do not mind driving from Georgia to do so. The back side is definitely tougher than the front but the course is playable for many skill levels. I highly recommend this course to anyone who enjoys great golf, amazing course layout, and beautiful natural scenery.

Great views and very nice staff

The only drawback to this round was that it was not posted on the course website or the golf now reservation list that the greens had recently undergone aerification.

Course is well maintained and would be wonderful to play when the greens are back to normal.

cart path

The night before play rained a 1/4 of an inch......needed a boat on the front nine course very poor drainage. Course elevations on back nine are extreme don't bring somebody that has a problem with walking steep embankments. The course itself is challenging and except for the drainage problem enjoyed the outing.

Wow!!!

Course was in fantastic shape. Fertilizer had been put on fairways and rough but did not interfere with the play. The greens were a little sandy in places from where they had top-dressed them probably a week or so ago but did not affect anything other than having to clean you ball after the first put. This small inconvenience was offset by the lightening fast speed of the greens and how true they putted. Get it on line with the correct speed and it was in the hole.

Several people prior to me had rated the F&B low. While we didn't eat there we did get drinks at the turn and were served quickly and with a pretty smile.

I highly recommend this course. It is a challenge and a joy to play. I will be back as soon as I can.

This course has great features

One of the great features on this course is their signature par 3 hole. Very scenic & challenging to pick the right club. Course fairways are well maintained all year around. A lot of fun to play. Each hole is uniquely different
