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.

Lost the Greens Again?!
Was here in mid-February and the greens were fine and now they have lost them again. Not sure how that happened so fast. Most of the greens are now dirt and mud and very bumpy. The fairways are all hardpan along with the tee boxes. Very disappointed because I thought they were back on track but not anymore.
Very disappointed
This course has really gone downhill. I played here 6 weeks ago, and given that it was early spring, it was in decent shape then.
Range balls are filthy - don't they ever wash them?
Only 2 greens were actually GREEN - all others are just bare dirt with a few clumps of poa annua grass.
And the fairways are just as bad ... there are washed out areas all over the course.
No marshal on the course - our round was nearly 5 hours long.
No water on the course.
Mens' restroom in really nasty.
One good thing: Their sausage sandwich is to die for.
Save your money and your sanity - play elsewhere.
I know the management will respond with "Sorry for your experience; we'll try to do better" ... I've seen their responses elsewhere.
Disappointed
I drove 2hrs to play this course and was disappointed, and for the what they charge per person is NOT worth it. Tee boxes in bad shape , fairways we're not in good shape, and the greens were not really green . They more black . They ruled smooth and fast was the only positive. Will never go back
Greens are ridiculous
Consider an anthill. It’s almost like a pyramid. Now envision the flag at the top of the hill. If you don’t sink the put, it either rolls back to where you started or rolls off the backside. To make matters worse. The grass is almost nonexistent. So there is nothing to slow down the ball. Greens shouldn’t be easy. But, they should be fair.
LOTS OF LITTLE HILLS
GREENS ARE FAST. HILLS ARE CHALLENGING. ENJOYED THE ROUND

Course was not in good condition. Greens were very bumpy
Slower than molasses
Slow pace of play pushed the round to 6 hours. Tee times overbooked. No marshall managing play. Bathroom was disgusting; mold around the sink.
Windy city
It was very windy out but the pace of play for a weekend was outstanding.
Greens were in terrible condition. Fairways were very firm and the rollout was very long. Front nine layout causes backups and gets better on the back. Booking with deals or discounts is recommended, do not pay full price.
3 hour back nine twice in two weeks.
Need to have a martial to get things moving in the back nine.
Silly slow pace of play.
Winter conditions are starting to take their toll on the grass
The winter was cold and it’s starting to show on the course. It looks like it’s going to take some time for them to get the grass back, in my honest opinion the greens are already dead. The roots are hardly there if at all and the rest of the course is hanging on by threads it felt like. I still love the layout and pace of play when I find my way out here, I just wish they were prepping more for the warmer weather ahead.
