Ridgeview Ranch Golf Club
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.

GREENS ARE TERRIBLE!!!
I love the layout of this course, but I played here a month ago and the greens were bad, but I figured with all the rain we have gotten in the last month, they should have been better...WRONG!!! They are WORSE! You simply do not have a chance to make a putt over 2 feet, unless it is by sheer luck. There are completely bare spots, accompanied by spotty clumps of grass and pits of sand or dirt. The putts were bouncing 6" into the air on anything over 10'. Simply not worth playing this course until they figure out how to grow grass on their greens. Won't be back this year.
So disappointing
The greens on this golf course are in horrible shape. Had not played here in over a year and was so disappointed. We were told by the twosome we were paired with that they had been in this condition for some time. The pace of play was slower than expected, but 5 hours on a Saturday is no surprise. Staff did not even try to advise on course condition. Such a shame as it's a great layout. This course needs some help.
Thank you for reviewing the course. Let us first start by apologizing for the poor experience you had during your visit. The current condition is by no means the standard we strive to achieve and are working diligently to improve the course. Thank you for playing and we hope to see you again soon.
Terrible greens condition

Need Marshall
Poor green but no matter what, definitely need field marshall.
No etiquette or don't know basic rule for some player.
Even Saturday, man and wife played with every hole with teaching(??), Have to wait 5-10 min every shot. Also harassing people for nothing.

Poor greens
Tee boxes looked great, everything else in poor condition - especially the greens - barely any grass on them.
Hi, jjkjosa. We appreciate you taking the time to review the course and rate us. Your feedback helps us do better. Thank you for visiting our course. We hope you'll give us another try in the future.
The geeens are killing me
Everything is in decent shape except the greens. Every single one had bald spots and customized mini bunkers on them. On the bright side of things I aced #7 so I can’t really review that green.
We appreciate you taking the time to review the course and rate us. We are going to pass on your feedback to the team. Thanks for visiting Ridgeview Ranch Golf Club, and we hope to see you again in the future.
Bad greens!
I have played this course many times before and my experience were great, but today the greens were terrible. The staff still charged the normal rate.

Stay Away!!!!
I used to play here on a regular basis, but I will never play Ridgeview Ranch again after what I experienced. In my over 40 years of playing golf all over the country, I have NEVER seen a course in such horrible shape. Dirt clods all over every "fairway" and diseased greens (yes all 18) with very little grass on them. Yet, nobody in the pro shop mentions these conditions before they take your money (probably on purpose). This is a sad GOAT RANCH that should be closed now so builders can at least use the land to put up new homes., Sad, sad, sad ..... Stay away at all costs! Oh, one more thing. When I brought these concerns to their attention (I quit after 8 holes), they did NOTHING. Thankfully I paid with my credit card so I could dispute the charge!

Dont waste your money
The course has a very nice layout. Not boring to play at all. However, the greens have more weeds and bumps than my backyard. There is very little grass anywhere even in the middle of the fairways. There is more mud orr hard ground than grass. The pro shop was rude, the hours for the driving range online is wrong and only saw the cart girl 1x in a 4 1/2 hr round. Never saw a marshal at all. Slow play bad conditions. GOAT RANCH at best.

Don’t waste your money.
The green were horrible and no even said anything. They are patches and weeds all over the greens. We had to play when you hit the greens one putt and pick up. They charged 72.00 and didn’t say a word about the shape of the greens. We will never play there again. We have a group of about 20 players who play monthly and we were scouting out the course for our group to play. We have definitely marked that one off the list.

What happened to Ridgeview Ranch??
Without a doubt the worst condition I’ve ever seen at Ridgeview. It’s obvious that The City of Plano just doesn’t care about this course anymore.
Somebody needs to be held accountable or replaced!
Hi Mike! We appreciate you taking the time to review the course and rate us. Your feedback helps us do better. Thank you for visiting our course. We hope you'll give us another try in the future.
Poor conditions for cost to play
Greens were in terrible condition spots with no grass as well as weeds.
Value definitely not there with cost of play

Great layout, greens in bad shape
Greens were in really bad shape. Other than that, loved the course.
Hello, utlegere. Thank you for visiting us at Ridgeview Ranch Golf Club. We appreciate your 4-star rating and review. We hope you join us for another round soon.
Poor condition paired with slow employee
The course was in terrible shape and that wasn’t the worse part. We had a trheesome…my buddies who play together every week and take the game seriously. They forced a fourth on us…Ryan, who had been with them for two weeks. He delayed our start, walked on our petting lines, hit our balls because he lost his, and was slow. He didn’t play well AND had terrible etiquette. Not his fault, his management probably forced him on us because we are black and was the last group of the day. Maybe they thought we would steal the carts. We finished the last three holes in the dark and left Ryan behind. Needless to say, we won’t be back.

Needs Major Improvements
The course is in bad shape. Patchy greens and fairways every single hole. Putting was impossible. Pace was good for a Friday and the rate was fair for the conditions. I won’t be back until I read better reviews.

Course in very bad shape. Should disclose to customers
First time playing course this year. Played several time per year over past twenty years and sadly disappointed with ALL course conditions. From tee boxes to fairways and Especially greens…worst I have seen in twenty years.
