River Ridge Golf Club - The Vineyard Course

Unbelievably slow round. Finish the first three holes in an hour and walked off after seven holes over two hours. Spoke with an ambassador who is worthless. No idea where the back up was. Didn’t care and offered no solutions. I asked him if I could jump off this course and go on Vineyard and he said, but there’s people playing there. I asked him to call the starter and he said he couldn’t do that. More concerned about eating his lunch. Would put up with a 5 to 6 round.

Tee boxes dirt, fairways dead and the greens were uneven, patchy and slow and very inconsistent. Overall they should have paid me to play there!

Everything is great except the fairways… they’re all yellow … the greens are a little choppy but other than that I had fun. Aesthetically speaking … the holes, the views are awesome but the fairways need work…

Was looking forward to playing in Ventura summer weather but River Ridge was the wrong course to play. You start the day with no range balls, next you will hit dried up fairways throughout the course and then you will putt on several poor condition greens. All said and done, not worth the price of admission until course gets must needed attention.

I recently played a round at River Ridge Golf Club - The Victoria Lakes Course, and it was an utterly disappointing experience. Despite the hefty price tag, the course conditions were abysmal. The fairways were extremely dry and poorly maintained, making it nearly impossible to enjoy the game.

To make matters worse, every time the beverage cart came around, it was completely empty. For the amount we paid, one would expect at least basic amenities to be available.

It’s clear that the management does not prioritize the upkeep of the course or the satisfaction of its players. The director’s apparent lack of concern for the state of the course and its patrons is unacceptable.

I would not recommend this course to anyone looking for a decent golfing experience. Save your money and find a course that actually values its players.

Traveled over an hour to play in club tourney. Played the lakes course and it is in horrible condition. Fairways are dead, greens are bare and being consumed by weeds, and fairway bunkers are muddy with two looking like ponds. Do not play here until conditions improve. Not worth the money. Staff was pleasant and food was good but that’s about it.

I would not recommend this course right now. It is in a horrible condition. Normally I love playing Victoria Lakes, but the whole course needs attention.

The greens are pretty ragged on the Lakes course

Also the fairway grass is pretty brown. But I love the layout. Needs water!

RR hasn't been in really great shape in years, but right now it's worse than usual. I played Lakes and they haven't watered fairways in many weeks, so a LOT of dead grass. Hitting off it isn't so bad. Kind of like links-style, but disappointing. Supposedly something went wrong with sprinkler system and they are repairing it. This place has recycled water so no excuse not to use it. Both courses are challenging layouts and pretty nice designs. The wind can be a bummer when up on the hill for either 18, but once off the hill holes it calms down. The greens are alive and watered, but in pretty poor condition. The course is playable if you get a good price, but be prepared for rough conditions.

Very long and challenging for first time on this tee. Some double dog legs and a few other things. Overall very fun and will be back for more.

Love this course but yesterday was not great. Seems there’s not much up keep of the course. The greens are un-puttable.
