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.

Terrible conditions, overpriced and won’t book weekend singles
6/8/2022 - Updating my review. I wanted to go back this weekend, because despite the terrible conditions and the overpricing, I do like the layout. Lots of open tee times for Saturday, but now they won’t book singles. I emailed the course manager and he didn’t even bother answering.
2/27/2022 -This course is close to home, has a great layout, and I can generally get a tee time, BUT it is consistently in the worst condition of any course in the area. I’m not even sure they have a greenskeeper on staff anymore. Just a crew to mow. It’s a struggle to find a level spot on the tee box, and they have little grass left on them, because they don’t water them. Typically, there are broken sprinkler heads, so soggy areas next to greens. The greens are horrible. They are overrun with poa grass, so all tufted up, and your ball will bounce and be misdirected several times on most putts. Last spring I was told that was a result of the freeze and they would work to recover them. It has been over a year and nothing has been done. They are actually worse.
Combine the poor conditions with wild overpricing. They did away with the weekend senior rate, because they could. This last weekend, I paid $72.47. Would have been more with range balls, but they said the range was closed again, because the picker was broken (again). Compare that to prime weekend time at Westridge the week before. The course is in good shape, with GPS on the carts and a $9 medium bucket of balls hitting on grass, it was $73.87.

Built into the flood plain course
Property developers use the housing area flood plain for golf courses, and Ridgeview is typical of this. Creeks cut across most of the Par 3s, and runs along the boundaries of most holes. The greens are in bad condition, certainly the worst I have seen in North Texas, with the exception of Duck Creek. The elevation changes drastically. Lastly, the carts are in poor condition, one employee admitted the parking brakes fail on most carts.

Wow - What has happened to this course???
Pretty disappointed with the quality of the greens - really terrible shape and frankly not worth the $40 we paid to play! Really disappointed with the condition of the course - the City of Plano should be ashamed!

Much nicer places to go
For the price, not worth it! No gps, the greens were bumpy and lots of dead spots throughout the course. Both friends that I invited out to play that day said the same thing.

Hi, Thank you so much for the great review. We are glad you had an incredible time, and we hope to see you again soon! Thanks for choosing Ridgeview Ranch Golf Club.
Good day, slow play
Carts very speed limited. Barely better than a fast walk and a challenge to get up some hills. Tee times were every 5 minutes so we waited on almost every shot.
Fairways and tees in pretty good shape but greens still bumpy

Course updating?
There was a severe lack of yardage markers on most of the holes. Many of the cups were damaged . We were surprised the grounds crew had not made hole changes for a packed course on Sunday. Being that we are already in for a hot summer, I am hoping the staff realizes that either the carts need coolers,more cart girls or water coolers on most holes. Its little changes that mean alot. Please make some changes sooner rather than later. I love this course but probably won't be back for awhile if changes aren't made for the money paid on greens fees.
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!
Rough Shape
My daughter and I enjoyed our round, but for the money the greens and fairways just weren't good. No reduced fee for walking and no break either for aerated greens full of poana bumps. I like this course but will wait a long while before I play it again.

Double charged
I booked my reservation to play this course earlier in the week through GolfNow and was charged for the round. When I showed up to play in yesterday I was charged again for the round. This is completely unacceptable. When I try to locate someone or anyone with GolfNow there isn't a convenient way to figure how to do so. I won't be using this app again moving forward.

Course rot and terrible pace
It’s one of the worst $60 courses in the metroplex. It’s not worth $20. Terrible pace and no management. That’s the good part. The greens and fairways are rotted out mess. Unless I hear different, I won’t be back.
The workers are nice tho.

Has its moments...
For a muni, it's not a bad track! It has its moments that make it a solid option... they are unfortunately removing a number of bunkers, which is very, very disappointing! Taking the teeth out of this course isn't what I would have done?
