Ridge Creek Dinuba Golf Club

Very tough course but very well maintained. Tricky greens to putt but roll true. Had a great time. Definitely be back soon.

I hope the course stays with the new changes.

The course is very lush right now. Those of you that have played here before know that the course is normally set up to imitate a very hard fast links style.

Greens were softer than normal and were holding shots and allowing for some pull back on well struck shots. They were rolling smooth and slower than normal at medium speed. The speed is actually a good thing because these greens are huge with many slopes and swales. Less 3 putts equal faster pace of play. The only damage was from neglectful golfers (how can we educate the non avid players?) and it was only in areas where people tend to hit more shots on the surfaces.

Tees all lush, green, level and very few areas with any divots.

Bunkers unlike most Cen Cal tracks have sand and it is consistent throughout and very playable. The depth of the bunkers is very challenging, anything from chest high to one where I was standing 10' above the player. The fairway bunkers are not much shallower and most of the time hitting into one is a blast out with a sw and is equivalent to a penalty with no real chance to advance.

Fairways are very different than in the past. Before they were very firm and fast with lots of rollout. Now they are longer and softer and make the course play much longer but also keep shots from going off into the nasty fescue. Less ball searches equals faster pace of play. Great coverage all around.

Rough in the past was non existent until you reached the heavy native areas where even finding the ball is a coin flip. Now there is an intermediate cut that helps keep balls in playable areas. Again, less ball searches speeds up play.

The longer cut in the fairways combined with the new cut of rough is an excellent move by the course.

Ridge creeck is by far,a hidden gem,great training facilities we're you can develop your stroke.Great place!!

Best Public course in the valley. Great layout and the greens are perfect. Great place to play!!!

Layout as always is excellent, top 3 public in the area IMO.

Greens mostly smooth and quick with a few areas where golfers have not fixed their marks.

Tees level and lush.

Fairways are returning to their normal firm playing conditions and the grass is coming out of dormancy.

Off fairway areas are a coin flip for even finding the ball in the native grass that is deep deep deep after the rains.

Bunkers have good consistent sand.

Practice facilities are best in the area.

The one place things can improve is pace as the multiple searches for balls slows play. I recommend the course implement a local rule to treat the areas as laterals to help speed play. (no one goes back after their 5plus minute searches anyway)

This course is worth a visit regardless of how far you need to drive.

Even with all the rain we have received recently the course remains playable and in good shape. The greens are in amazing shape and still play quite fast; only reason for four stars for course condition is not fault to the course but there were about 4 fairways that were still pretty wet. No plugged balls or anything tho! Layout is fun, a lot of penal bunkers and don't spray your tee shots as the long stuff outside the rough is basically OB - not gonna find you ball unless you step on it. Well worth the green fees, go play ridge creek!

Great staff, nice layout and took advantage of a Hot Deal!

Ridge creek puts all other golf courses to shame.

Course is always in good condition with excellent greens. Course offers a nice mixture of short and long holes for par 3,4 and 5's. Accuracy is a premium as missing the fairway put you in some nasty rough that virtually make it I possible to get out of if you're lucky enough to find your ball.

Bunkers are a bit better than average for valley courses. Staff are a,ways friendly and courteous. I have only played during mid week so pace of play has never been an issue.

If the course was closer I would play here a lot more often.

Great layout and prestine greens.

It was a great round even though it was raining.

This is one of the better kept courses in the Central Valley. Layout is awesome, lots of "birdie holes" if you can keep the ball in play. Would prefer a physical layout with bunker distances off the tee, maybe gps on carts. Other than that, wonderful course. Will play again for sure.

Really like this links style course. While taking some golf lessons from Jim Perez I asked him what his favorite local course was and he said, Ridge Creek!

I had to try it and it didn't disappoint. Great layout, worth the drive. They really need new golf carts with gps in them to help with figuring out where the bunkers are.

Enjoyed a fun round with some GKers, both local and some SoCal guys who came up for the day. Our group may have been a tad slower than I prefer but as we had the course to ourselves I just let myself enjoy the day and after we let a pesky threesome :) play past we cruised around in 4hr-ish.

Overall great design with a lot of undulations and movement created out of flat farmland.

Conditions are very good even during the hot hot hot summer.

Tees - were lush with a few being so lush (not uncut) it was hard to stand the tee upright

Fairways - were actually cut a bit longer than the normal tight firm conditions and were all in good shape

Greens - were all smooth with few to no ball marks depending on hole locations, they are running quite a bit slower than normal due to summer which on these very large greens is a welcomed relief

Bunkers - are DEEP even in the fairways and are plentiful in numbers. On this course they are the one area where conditioning can lack, they can range from firm to soft sometimes within the same bunker and numerous of the nearly 200 bunkers have critter damage -nothing terrible but it does stand out when the rest of the course is top notch.

Being in the center of the Valley farmland, burrowing critters can be a nuisance. You can see their presence in areas. The maintenance crew has done an excellent job keeping them relegated to the edges of the course and kept the playing areas clear so they are more of a visual problem and rarely in play.

I highly recommend this course.

My round at Ridge Creek was great. A great layout and fun to play. Fairways and greens were fabulous. You do have to get your ball in the fairway or primary cut rough. Really enjoyed my round of golf.

a great course in the valley!

Got a great "hot deal" so I decided to drive down from Fresno and give the course a try. The course staff was very friendly. One of the regulars asked me to join him so I got a little local knowledge. The course was in great shape and was a very nice lay out. The area is pretty flat, but the course makes good use of all of the available terrain features. The greens were tough for me to read but rolled true and very receptive to shots played in. There are a number of tee box options so a player can tailor the course to their game very easily. The only minor complaint is that the bunkers were pretty crusty and wet below the surface - tough to play out of with a blast type shot. Keep the ball in play and this course is relatively easy, but miss the fairly generous fairways and you will have a tough go of it.
