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.

Worst value
How are they charging 70 bucks on any day of the week for this goat ranch?? Greens are awful. Will not be going back out here anytime soon. What a terrible value
Bad condition
The fairways and green were not in good shape. It used to be one of my favorite places to play at

Crabgrass all over
Really like the layout of this course, but it was in rough shape! Greens were full of crabgrass and looked like they haven’t been mowed in a week or 2.

Mike's review
The course was in the best shape I have seen it in a long while. I would consider Ridgeview to be my home course when I am in Texas about 1/2 time. My son and I teed off at about 1:30 and never saw any other golfers until the turn when there was a weekly league but they let us go ahead of them. All around great day and very low scores for both my son and I.
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.

Nice course…short, but tight fairways
Bottom Line up front: a solid value for the money. Range is close by,…range balls are relatively cheap…putting green in great shap…staff is friendly. It is a relatively short course, but the short par 4’s will turn into triple bogeys if your tee shot is errant. The course is kept in very good condition under most conditions, as it drains well after rain. Pace of play varies, but you coun count on a 3.5 hour round during the week…4-4.5 on weekends based on my experience. The greens are normally in very good shape…some sprigs of that nasty grass but no more than others. The front nine is tougher than the back nine. Not a lot of water, but there are lots of opportunities to lose balls. I come back often.
Thanks so much for your wonderful review. We are thrilled to hear how much you enjoyed your time with us. Please visit again soon. Thanks for choosing Ridgeview Ranch Golf Club!
