Ridgeview Ranch Golf Club
About
Ridgeview Ranch is a Jeff Brauer design that opened in 1997. It’s friendly to the average golfer because there are rarely forced carries of water or sand to reach the large greens, making short approaches good candidates for easy ups and downs.
The design rolls through hills and trees, incorporating two creeks that come into play. The fairways are average-sized and flat, although there are a few surprising elevation changes for this flat part of north Texas. The course rolls through a housing addition and some of the holes are very tight.
Nos. 7 and 11 stand out in particular. The 7th goes 161 yards over White Rock Creek to a sloping green. No. 11 is tough because is plays well over 400 yards uphill into the prevailing wind.
Other notes: Carts are mandatory on weekends before 2 p.m. The cemetery next to the No. 3 green has graves dating back to 1800 and a historical marker to commemorate the settlers commissioned by Stephen F. Austin.
Getting there : From Dallas, travel north on the Tollway and exit Spring Creek. Turn right and drive 5 miles to Independence. Turn left and drive north to Ridge View Dr., then take a right and the course is on the left.

Golfer Reviews
RRGC getting better
Enjoyed the course and have always loved the layout. Greens are much improved as are tee boxes and fairways. Seemed to be a number if broken sprinklers around greens and tee boxes creating large muddy areas, but generally not in play. Having no water on the course for players is a downer. And please do a remodel in the men's room, its atrocious.
good course, grumpy guy inside
I don't normally take the time to write out reviews but the grumpy guy running counter was miserable. I smiled through it though and made it a fun round. The starter was a great, happy guy who sent us off right on time. Course was fun and in decent shape, some of the tee boxes were a little shaggy but nothing worth whining about. Good course for 80 dollar Sunday round. would prefer to pay around 60 for it with cart so will probably still to weekday round next time there.
improved condition; good pace for a Sunday
Played in 4 hours on a beautiful Sunday. course has come along way. Greens improved. Fairways and boxes great and bunkers like-new.
Nice layout
They had some green issues earlier in the year, but the greens were much better. Most of the greens were in great shape. Fun course layout.
Getting better!
Still not the course it used to be but it’s improving! The staff is friendly! The pace of play was good. We finished in under 4 hours.
Had fun!! No complaints.
Nice course
Great staff, pace was a little slow, but Marshall was out twice to address the situation
SLOW
I played as a part of a 3 some on a Saturday and it almost took 5 hours and 45 minutes. This is just too long. Everything else was great greens have improved quite a bit and the bunkers did have sand. I was pleased with everything except the pace of play.
Pleasantly surprised
I played this course a few months ago and it was absolutely terrible. The greens were basically half sand half po. They really turned it around much faster than I thought was possible. The greens are actually really good now. Will play again soon.
Recent Review on conditions of course 9.20.2026
Was hesitant to play because of several negative reviews about greens. Found that the course was in very good/excellent shape including the greens. Saw that the green restoration project had been completed recently. The fairways and traps were in good shape as well. Would recommend this course.
Solid Course, but missing the basics
Overall, Ridgeview is a decent golf course with a good layout, but for around $80, I expected a little more.
The staff in the pro shop weren’t friendly nor welcoming, and the interaction felt very rushed, almost like they were just trying to get you out of the way as quickly as possible. It honestly made you feel more like a nuisance than a customer.
I was also pretty surprised that there was no water available out on the course. To me, that’s a basic amenity every golf course should provide, especially in Texas. I’ve played much cheaper courses that still have water stations available throughout the round.
As far as the course itself, the greens were actually in really good shape and were probably the highlight of the experience. The fairways were more inconsistent. There were several areas with standing water and mud, and I also noticed water sitting in a few of the bunkers.
It’s not a bad course by any means, and the layout is enjoyable, but at the $80 price point, I’ve played other courses in the area that offer a better overall experience.
Looking good
Been awhile since I have played but the improvements and course maintenance is doing very well…especially from the summer weather. I am glad this course has been rejuvenated from the mess it was in a few years ago. Great day and great course!
Better than expected
The course was in great shape. The greens were excellent and the tee boxes were superb. There was a few muddy areas but my fault for mishitting my shot into them.
Perfect
Just over 3 hour round no blemishes in greens… fairways were solid… tee boxes well manicured can’t complain
Much Improved!!
I honestly can’t believe the turnaround this course has made this year. I almost hesitate to make this review because I don’t want everybody coming back. I can’t believe how great the conditions are of the greens now compared to what they were earlier this year. Although they aren’t perfect on the front, they are in really good shape. The greens on the back are nearly flawless. The fairways are also so much more lush and green and there’s a lot of new sand in the bunkers. This is one of my favorite tracks, so I am very happy to put it back in the rotation. Now they just need to spend some money on the driving range and get new mats and this place will be overrun with people.
Be prepared to wait
Wanted to enjoy the round. By 12:30 tee box 3 groups behind. 3 hour10 minute front nine. No ranger. Cart girl seen once in 9 holes and out of water. Disappointing.
