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.

Why no Drinking water on course

Glad to see the course has finally overcome the issue with their greens. However, 100 degrees and literally no drinking water. I did see the cart girl twice but there should be simple coolers on the course like every other course in America. I ran out on 16 and was feeling faint by 18. Come on guys/do better!!!!!

Will come back to play again!

For it being so dry in this region, I found the course to be in good condition which means the tee boxes, fairways and greens were good. It is easy enough and challenging enough for all handicaps. I look forward to playing it again and having a great round and great experience.

Course Is In Good Shape - PUT OUT WATER JUGS!

The course is in good shape. In particular the greens are much improved on where they were a month or two ago. A real negative is that the course has not resumed putting water jugs out on the course. I’ve played there a few times recently, and, given the extreme heat, it is actually dangerous to not have the water jugs out. In this weeks round I was matched up with a couple of older gentleman in their 80’s who did not know that there wasn’t going to be any water on the course. I thought one of them was going to pass out later in the round.

Vastly Improved

I “played” here spring of this year and that word is in quotes because it is hard to call the course then “playable”.

However, the poa has been killed on the greens and they are now in great shape. The bunker work is completed and the course was great. I look forward to my next round. Great job and accolades to the maintenance crew.

Improving on revival, but still a rough round

Played Ridgeview many times over the years but had avoided for a while as conditions went terribly downhill over the last 2 years. First must say, the staff is always super friendly. However, when it comes to reviewing the on course stuff - Ridgeview is still a rough 4.5 hours, if you can even finish in under that.

The course conditions are decent. Improving on what had become a dog track lately, but it’s all relative. Better than years past, and better than the other immediately nearby dog tracks in Plantation and Twin Creeks, but still not as well maintained as other Plano/Frisco/Allen courses in the area.

Pace of play is horrid. Never a marshall or starter in sight, so too many people insist on going off as twosomes/singles and backing up the course.

Also, how is there not a single water jug on the course, especially in the dog days of summer? Thanks for replacing those with new signage to tell me which hole I’m on… gee thanks! Lol.

As I said, the conditions are improving from its sad state the last few years, but still would rather drive over to Watters, Pecan Hollow, Heritage Ranch, etc for better value play and conditions.

Good course conditions, considering it was August and no rain. Pro shop people are very friendly. Beverage cart timely.

Pace of play dreadful. The reason I gave one star was because I couldn’t select zero stars. Two groups of high school kids in front of us decided to play as one group of EIGHT, starting on hole 2, and did not even play ready golf. No marshal to check on pace of play, or tell them to split up. When you call the clubhouse, you get a recording, so no way to let anyone know what was going on, or if there had been an emergency, like a cart breakdown.

I probably will play again, but if these type of issues are common here, I won’t be back.

Fun layout

The course itself is great but they have an answering service to book teem times and you can't get the pro-shop. A group of 8 kids all played the same hole from #2 on and couldn't get a marshal out to break it up and tell them to play faster. Turned what could have been a 3hr, 45 min round to 4hr, 45 minutes.

Big Improvement

This course was borderline unplayable in the spring and they have done amazing work to complete the bunker renovation as well as restoring the greens to a solid 8.5/10.

Their hard work has paid off with the course condition and since I have always had fun at this course it is great to see it back up to par so to speak.

Great putting greens

The course has a challenging yet open layout and the greens were in great shape. The golf carts are in need of maintenance and the course has several locations with leaking sprinkler heads flooding some areas. Pace of play was fine however we had to join a two-some in front of us on the fourth hole Since the Pro shop did not proactively join the groups together.

Staff was friendly.

Great course!!

Love this layout, no boring or flat holes, lots of fairway undulations, interesting tee shots, green complexes, etc.

Bunkers have been re done and are in excellent shape---the sand is light and dry, like Myrtle Beach sand!

Greens are in great shape, tight, receptive and smooth.

Fairways are dry as to be expected and the tee boxes are decent.

An interesting/fun layout, well maintained, decently watered and a great value for the course.

Staff is super nice too!
