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.

Good Round - Greens need help

Had a good round and our foursome finished in 4 hr 10 min with no waiting on any holes. Tee boxes and fairways in good shape for April but the greens were pretty rough and bumpy so they didn't roll true or consistently

Greens need serious work

Really like the layout but the greens are covered in tiny weed like sprouts that make it impossible to get anything close to a true roll when putting.

Removal of many former sand traps was a good move. And can see good progress on improving the remaining sand traps.

Play Westridge or Frisco Lakes

Greens are still torched from freezes and full of bumpy crab grass that has moved in. The course condition has gone downhill from when I played it last over a year ago. Ridgeview is the now the new Plantation. Avoid at all costs, there are better tracks similarly priced in the same area.

Bumpy Greens

The bunker renovations have really helped the pace of play! The greens need work. There is new grass(?) Poking through and some of the putts were like watching a ball in a pachinko machine :).

I love this course though and will continue playing it every other week when possible!

The course is in pretty rough condition right now. Still working on sand traps, waiting for fairways to soften up, tee boxes and green both need work.

Fairways are nothing but hardpan

I used to play this course all the time but I haven't been

back since I moved to Phoenix 8 years ago. I guess I forgot that courses in TX do not overseed at this time of year. However, the fairways were horrendous and, for the price, not worth playing. And, then there were a group of 8 people playing the same hole.

Nice course!

Good layout, 131 slope rating tells you this course is to be respected. Could use a little more water on the fairways. The greens are rough with extra grass making it hard to get a smooth putts.
