River Ridge Victoria

Would recommend this course. The length of the course makes it challenging for shot selection. The greens are slow and grainy. Overall a good experience.

Dry as a bone

Greens were horrible. I've seen smoother pizzas. And dead patches on the greens. They must have sold their greens roller. I'm warned about the conditions at this old gem by golfers 2 counties away. Fairways are dead,constant hard pan lies. Sad

Great open views!

Hot, dry, not crowded, fun. Course is not in same shape as championship qualifiers a few months ago. Still a fun venue.

Greens are terrible

Not only are the fairways burnt the greens

haven't be rolled forever, bumps all over the place putts would not stay on line

I am aware of the situation with the fairways

but that should not have anything to do with

the greens. 1st they were not mowed and extremely slow, then sand on the approach

shots poor poor and poor that's all I say say

so with that being said you can bet I will not be making and Tee Time with RR in the near future

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.

Sad

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

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…

PICK another Ventura course

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.

Overpriced and Poorly Maintained - A Disappointing Golf Experience

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.

Horrible conditions

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.
