Ridgeview Ranch Golf Club

This course was fantastic. The fairways were a little dry which helped with distance.

Really enjoyed the lay out. Pace was a little slow on the back 9 with a foursome and a 5-some in front of me.

Absolute steal of a deal with the hot deals…

I have played Ridgeview Ranch golf course many times over the past several years. The biggest knack against this club has always been that the golf carts were really terrible. Well, the new golf carts are in, they’ve aerated their greens and they are coming back, and the fairways looked fantastic. Had a great time playing today and it was a very enjoyable round with a very good pace of play.

The best thing about Ridgeview Ranch is the staff. Andrew in the pro shop is always friendly and always helpful and always has a smile. A very welcoming place to play and a reasonably good value for the money.

Carts have been bad for a while

Staff could improve

Fairways, greens and tee boxes are excellent. Better than they have been in quite some time. Carts are barely adequate. Changed out two carts during round.

NO WATER on course for DRINKING. Saw the beverage cart twice. Cart staff was friendly. Staff inside were civil. No ball washers.

Played a few years ago and course was in need of some TLC. It apparently got some. From tee to green, everything was much improved, especially the greens.

The layout is pretty wide open, but the undulating fairways make for some challenging lies. It’s a lot of fun to play.

Biggest negative was the cart situation. They are very dated and worn down, and most hadn’t been cleaned. We had the first tee time of the day, and the few carts that were brought out still had trash in them from the day before.

It was also a surprise that the whole course was cart path only, but it wasn’t apparent why (pro shop staff didn’t even mention it, just saw the many signs stating such). If it wasn’t for that, we would have played significantly faster.

Need to improve the grass and the our cart brake lock wouldnt work. big rip in the seat

I have played Ridgeview 100s of times since it opened in '96. One my favorites up until Covid hit. A Jeff Brauer early design, and an incredibly fun and fair course to play with surprising terrain changes for North Plano. It had been over 2 years since I played it owing to really poor conditions, namely the greens. Decided to go, having heard that the conditions were greatly improved. I was very surprised. Perfect Bermuda greens yesterday with very few imperfections at all. And they actually had a bit of speed to them at times, which was a pleasant change compared to a lot of tracks around DFW lately. Fairways were acceptable but can still use some work here and there but nothing to get overly down about. Traps were perfect as well despite the fact newer golfers have decided to rarely rake them. We played a threesome and finished right at 4 hours with very minor waits here and there. Golf carts still need to be replaced but ours held in there for the round. Still no water on the course so make sure you load up before heading out (Just mind blowing you don't have water on the course, owners). Also, be careful to watch for serious soil erosion drop offs near alot of the cart paths and even the range. These are a potential ankle or knee injury risk waiting to happen. It's minor details like this that are needing the work at this point. But that's the biggest change in the last 5 years with public courses. The tee sheets are mostly full and they don't spend on upkeep like this at all. At some point, owners will realize if they just went a bit beyond "good enough", there are serious golfers who would pay an extra 15-20% for it. Ridgeview is at least playable and pretty enjoyable again. Give it shot.

Course conditions are very good at the moment. The greens are much better than Twin creeks. Among the courses in the area Ridgeview seems to be in the best shape.

Course is long but the layout is pretty straight generally here.

Huge improvements from past years.

First time playing the course. Overall, really enjoyed the course. Really good shape for this time of year. Moderately challenging. There were not enough carts available, had to wait for players to finish their rounds for a cart which put out group behind. No rangers on the course and there was a group of 6 slowing play, took about 5 hours. I'd definitely go back but need to get the cart situation corrected.
