Slow @ Ridge Creek

Normally the Pace of play at Ridge Creek is outstanding but today’s round took over 5 hours which is not acceptable. We had a threesome in front of us with a Girl who was obviously a beginner & they refused to let us play thru!

Very Frustrating but otherwise a Fabulous Golf Course!

Best in the Valley

Best fairways in the Central Valley and greens are excellent as well

Staff is top notch. They continue to impress me more and more every time I play there

Bunkers are 50/50. Some are good to go others are ground under repair

First Time Playing

Excellent Golf course!

First time playing here and actually had the best round of my life!

Each fairway is wide open and gives you an excellent opportunity to score well. However, if you hit a bad shot this course is very unforgiving! If you miss the fairway, good luck finding your ball.

The greens were pretty well manicured and rolled true. They were a little bit slow for my taste, but I’m definitely not complaining.

The tee boxes were gorgeous, level, and very well manicured. Teeing off on a nice tee box really helps take the edge off so you can relax and hit a good drive rather than worrying about having your feet below the ball or uneven or whatever.

The pace of play was slow. I was a single rider. There was a threesome playing a money game in front of me and two foursome groups ahead of them. So, I couldn’t go anywhere. It didn’t affect my game too much, except the heat started to get to me. Which by the way, there is no shade out on the course as there are no trees.

The bar staff girls were a little snobby and we’re taking their time getting me my beers before my round and cutting into my practice putting time.

Overall, I had a great experience at this course. Mostly because I played well. But this course is very beautiful. Arguably the best course I’ve ever played. I would absolutely play here again. The price is very reasonable for the course conditions.

The only REAL complaint I have is that the guys in the pro shop were not helpful at all explaining how I redeem my $10 off tee time voucher thru golf now. Needless to say I wasn’t able to redeem it. I booked my round thru GN, paying the online rate (no hot deal).

The best maintained course in the valley that I’ve played. It is scorching hot and the course was lush and green.

Ridge Creek

Rode the Blues (6493/70.1/116) with John x 2 in slightly less than 5H at the GK Guru outing. Teeing off slightly around 2:45, the weather was muggy, breezy, sunny and in the high 90's.

John Fought links design that I really like. No water hazards and few trees, but lots of sand, large undulating greens and slopes toward deep rough challenge plenty. Magnified with thick, deep native rough that will catch and probably keep crooked shots. Probable lost ball, and even if you find it, likely an unplayable lie. VERY penal. Say this every time I play here, but the course slope ratings are way too low for a course with lost ball rough lurking barely off every fairway IMO. Throw in the wind, and this course is deceptively tough for the bogey golfer who is looking at +1 and +2 all day for any shot more than about 10 yards from most fairways.

Tees had good coverage and were mostly level. Par 3's were pretty chewed up and needed divot repair. With that said, the tee boxes are HUGE, 25 yards wide. In most cases and they put markers completely on both sides, so you have plenty of room to find a level spot with good turf. Just unusual to be able to legally change you line off the tee by 20+ yards.

Fairways have good coverage and were nice to play from.

Rough close to the fairway is mowed down not much higher than the fairways, which is actually a detriment because it's easy to roll a ball into the deep junk. The unmaintained native rough is very thick, deep and penal in most areas.

Sand traps were nicely maintained and the two greenside sand attempts I played had a decent amount of sand underneath. Firmness was an asset in the fairway traps.

Large undulating greens putted nice in spite of WAY too many ball marks. Firm and medium speed. We saw some irons back up 5-10' on these greens, with craters left for ball marks, not the normal dents you see on many courses.

I like the layout, it would definitely be in my rotation if not approximately 150 miiles from home. With the firmness of the course, shots offline rolling into bunkers or even the deep rough has to be factored into club selection. Excellent restaurant on site, good food and service. All grass driving range that was adequate. Definitely recommended.

The course is a challenge course

This was my second time playing. The course was very good. The greens were slower than anticipated. I like that there are challenging bunkers and some greens vary with two levels. I plan on returning the improve my putting. Always fun to play there.
