Good but---

Love playing at the Lakes. Greens and tee boxes in good shape. The rough was challenging with some over growth, easy to lose your ball.

My only complaint was the fairways. Who ever cuts the grass needs to have a grass catcher on the lawn mower. There was some much dead grass trimmings on the fairways that when you would get a clean shot down the fairways your ball won't roll normally, it would slow it down. I hit about 250 yrds on my drive, I would be lucky to get 175. It added an extra stroke or two my score card. Other than that, I love playing there.

Down Hill Maintenance

/The course conditions were terrible /sod around the edges of the greens haven’t taken. The greens had terrible blotches sand in the bunkers hadn’t been turned and raked in probably six years.

Fairways were cut, and all the grass was left sitting in the fairways so you couldn’t get any run on your driving

I’m surprised that the course has gone to this terrible condition Wish I played somewhere else

Bunkers

As I stated many times

If you call yourself a golf course and put bunkers on the course then it’s your responsibility to fill the bunkers with sand!

Or fill them in and plant grass.

100% unacceptable

Don’t care what it costs !!!!!!!

It’s a golf course

Routine maintenance !

All Aprons GONE!

The aprons around the greens were completely torn up and GONE to bare dirt due to massive large scale replacements. We should be refunded part of our greens fees for this unplayable situation.

Bunkers

Nice to see the course fixing the greens.

Bunkers are terrible.

They should all be roped off and played as ground under repair.

It’s the courses responsibility to put sand in the bunkers or don’t have any!

It’s just unacceptable.

First Time Playing

Beautiful and great value

First time playing this course and snagged the first tee time, so tough to gauge pace of play but course layout was moderately challenging and fun to play. A couple greens fighting disease, but otherwise very well maintained with lovely views. Greens on the slower side with moderate undulation. Walkable, just a couple large hills and a couple with significant distance from greens to tee boxes. Will definitely play here again.

Conditions are awful

The staff is great, but you can tell they have their hands tied. This course has such potential to be one of the best in Ventura. But unfortunately, either the Greenskeepers don’t know what they’re doing or they just don’t care. Every fringe might as well be a mud pit. There is no good place to hit the ball because every part of the course is in bad repair. We have decided to not play here ever again until we have confirmation that the courses in good running order which I don’t believe will be anytime soon. Instead of fixing the fringe properly , ensuring water drains correctly off of the green and cutting out the areas affected and putting new turf. They just throw seed on top of the area. Even someone in basic lawn care wouldn’t do something like this.

Fairways and greens

I really don't know what is going on with River Ridge but it not good!

There are many dry spots in the middle of the fairways and almost all of the areas near the greens are barren.... This could be one of the best courses in Ventura County. Its sad we try to be possible but it is difficult when your ball is sitting a dirt, which brings to mind the traps are not in good shape either. very little sand exists I had the opportunity to hit out of #16 and maybe 1/4 inch of sand in the bottom of the trap I hope they get their act together and make some improvements if not it will be another ghost town !!!

The lakes

Golf now hot deal was great

The pace of play was 3 hour for the 18 holes

Course conditions were average., bunkers were poor they were raked but all need sand.

The layout is great the staff is also great.

Greens were very slow I assume they need a cut.

All in all this was a great day and great value for the hot deal price.
