Rating Snapshot
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.

10th fairway. Par 5. Nice hole. Photo submitted by Sam Sherstad on 06/07/2016
Save your money
This course is in TERRIBLE condition. The greens are awful, can’t judge putt, impossible to get up and down. Fairways are dirt. I can’t believe this place regularly charges $61 and you can play Pecan Hollow for $35. What a joke.
GARBAGE
By far the worst course EVER. DO NOT WASTE TOUR MONEY.
Worst course ever
By far the worst course I have EVER SEEN! It’s a scam they’re charging $40 for this. It should be closed down until it’s in better shape. What a JOKE. I wouldn’t even waste $20 on this garbage course. Terrible!!!!
Pathetic Course Condition
I've played Ridgeview maybe 200 times. Course condition, particularly fairways, close to unplayable. The greenskeeper scalped what used to be native areas which are now bare dirt. I don't want to go on. Just makes me sad. The layout could be a top Texas course if it was in excellent shape. Is the course condition an indication the course is going to close soon?
Poor Course Conditions
We need a GoaFundMe to fix this course! Not worth the $60-$70 at all. Not coming back until they put some attention to fix this.
Disappointed in the course conditions as it has so much potential with layout, It feels like the greenskeeper was on an extended vacation, as the greens were bumpy and fairways were like a dirt road for majority of the Par 4s and 5s.
And BTW to add also it was 5:10 to play on a Saturday, golf shop apologized, but COME ON do something to help this course!
Course is in tough shape
The bunkers were great. Friendly staff. But the rest of the course was in terrible shape. Starting with the driving range there was no grass to hit off and balls were filthy dirty. The practice green was okay (very crowded) but not representative of the actual greens. The fairways don't have much grass and you can hardly drive on the fairways with all the ruts . Greens were bumpy and limited grass. The cost was not a bargain, similar priced to other courses. No bathrooms on the course except a couple of out houses. Not planning to return anytime soon.
DO NOT PAY $80 FOR THIS DOG TRACK
The fact that this joke of a course was $77 for 18 holes is beyond me. The only thing they have going for them are decent paced greens. There is football field sized dirt patches on almost every fairway. This is supposed to be prime golf conditions, but this place is horrendous. Never in a million years would I have paid almost $80 if I knew it would be such an absolute dog track. Never coming back, and that’s for sure. Highly DONT recommend this course!
Great North Dallas Course
The staff is a wonderful asset always willing to assist and make your experience very positive.
At the Pro Shop, restaurants, practice areas there is always a helpful staff member ready to assist.
Do not play here!!!
Greens are in very poor shape. I played this course many many times 10-15 years ago. Today it is very bad! Pay the extra and play elsewhere!!!
Decent Course
Some fun holes, layout was enjoyable. Decent shape for this early spring season. Rainy day so it may have played a little rougher conditions than normal. Overall good though. Thanks
Bad shape
The overall course is in need of major repair. Bare spots everywhere. I might need to to a doctor to fix my back because riding in a cart was so rough. The greens were in good to great shape.
