Course Highlights
Ridgeview Ranch features a distinctly challenging layout with undulating fairways, well-conditioned bunkers, and greens that have shown impressive recent improvement. Friendly pro shop staff and strong value make this a welcoming choice for golfers seeking a genuine test.

About

Holes 18
Type Public
Par 72
Length 7025 yards
Slope 136
Rating 74.1

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.

Winter

The course is great! The fairways are yellow, but it is winter so you have to give a little. The tee boxes are also in “Winter “ shape. Overalll I love this course and will continue to play.

Great Municipal

The weather was perfect, but the pace was slow. It took about 4h 30m to play 18, but it was beautiful outside. Made the wait a little more bearable.

Conditions were extremely fast, and the fairways were very tight. Challenging for a beginner with a mean slice, but I enjoyed it. Especially since I got paired up with a very nice man who shot a +2. Very nice guy.

Can't wait to play it in the spring

Great layout

This course is very good and very demanding for well placed shots.

First time you play it, don’t worry about your score, just learn the course and next tome you will play better.

Number 18 is a terrific finishing hole.

Definitely one of my favorites in the DFW area.

Definitely recommend it.
