River Ridge Golf Club - The Vineyard Course

Everything at this course is easy-going - easy to reserve, reasonable prices, excellent flexible staff

We played the course in four and a half hours and the course was in really good shape. The greens were soft but able to read and true to what you saw. Not having played this course one is severely at disadvantage as the holes do not play to the eye but the scorecard. I look forward to playing again and playing the other course as well.

I started this course as a first timer walking and you can count on getting a great workout but did take away from my game. The day was typical June gloom in the area even as we are in the end of April. Wind = check, Cold = check, friendly staff = check. I drove from Valencia which was 80 degrees to 58 degree weather. The course is laid out really well but not having course knowledge made some holes more difficult than necessary. I look forward to playing the vineyard course next time but would definitely play the river couse again. O, bring lots of balls for the water..

Windy, great views, not crowded due to threat of rain...super fun!

First time playing. Good layout. Friendly staff. Course in great shape

River Ridge Victory Lakes provides spectacular views from high up on the mountain... Lots of water that ate my balls, but other than that, it is a great place to golf and see the views.

Course and weather were great , but the greens were punched . It’s that time of the year . So in a few weeks it’ll be perfect

Fun day in the sun !

Very scenic course with lots of ball attracting water!

Home course in Ojai closed for punching. Four of us played away at River Ridge, Vineyards Course, riders/walkers both. Tee'd off right on time, pace of play excellent.-never waited or pushed. Tee to green in good condition, considering recent ++rains. Greens fast, but fair. I am short, played gold tees, and had fun, hit share of greens in regulation. Only a couple of long green to tee hikes. Co-player commented on views: Actually attractive sight of coastal mountains from generally elevated course. 19th hole with fast service, good tap variety, great burger, in cafeteria setting.

After trying to hit a bucket of balls 3 times here in the past week ( they choose to close the range early die to a lack of staff) we finally hit half a bucket before our 12:45 tee time. The poor customer service was not as disappointing as the condition of the Vineyard course. The rough was extremely patchy with bare dry dort mixed with excessively high patched of clover. The fairways were fine but the greens were inexplicably hard. 5 times my lofted wedge shot bounced over 6 ft high and eventually rolled off the back of the greens. After finishing the 15th hole we were proceeding to the 16th tee but the hole marker was for the 12th hole. We srove around looking for the 16th tee box. After 10 minutes we found another golfer and asked if we had made a mistake. He replied” oh they changed that hole a year or two ago but not sure why they didn'tbotwr to change the hole marker. When we finally tesumed our play on the 16th hole we were now having to wait behind rwo othwr groups. So is it expecting too much for the course superintendent to put a temporary sign on tjis hole. Every golfer that plays here osnt a local pr have played tbis courae 100 tomes and knows what to expect. Just lazy courae management and laxy employees who could care less about the paying customer. Its sad because this course has a very picturesque course with beautiful hole deaign and large undulated greens.

Was unaware of the sanded and punched greens. Would be nice for a heads up. The staff was great .they moved us to the vineyard course which hadn't been punched. The problem was we were not the only ones. We said we would play the lakes even though the greens were sanded. It turned out great ! 3hours 10 minutes. Automatic 2 putt and still lost 3 balls. Great practice round. Thanks!!

The staff should really mark which holes are cart path only instead of a blanket cart path only rule. Most of the holes were dry enough for a cart, (maybe 2-3 were wet) that just seems like taking the easy way out. If they want to do a blanket rule maybe lower the price of the cart

Sand Traps are horribly maintained and they are very behind in their mowing of all areas

Good course has some challenging holes , the layout is good ,good mix of long and short holes. But the ruff is to deep, hard to find your ball if you get in it..

Day after heavy rain, beautiful puffy clouds and clear views forever, cart path only, not crowded, 3 walkers on the Lakes fighting a 2-3 club cold wind... Fun! All were impressed by how well the course drained. Finished 18 in 4 hours with scarcely any mud on the wheels - and observed very little standing water on the course (besides the Lakes). Great venue! Glorious open views!
