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.

10th fairway. Par 5. Nice hole. Photo submitted by Sam Sherstad on 06/07/2016
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.

Greens
Greens are in very bad shape. Not worth the price in my opinion.

Greens are in rough shape
The greens are in pretty bad shape with some sort of weed appearing to have taken hold.

It’s not worth it
This course used to be in great shape, I just play today 3/13/22 and greens are in very bad shapes and very disappointing. Most of the greens have weeds all over the green that you can’t even putt straight. Some of the bunkers are under repair and it doesn’t even have sand in it. Fairway and tees are very hard.
Go play some where else like Twin Creeks or Trails of Frisco, it is cheaper and much better condition.

Greens are in terrible condition.
Fairways are well maintained but the greens make everything an automatic 2/3 put as it was like putting over a mountain range on the green.
The practice green was excellently maintained but for $70 tee time the other greens were horrendous.
The tee-boxes were also unlevel and poorly managed.

Terrible greens
Greens had a terrible case of poa ana or some sort of weed on them, like putting on top of broccoli.
No way someone should pay over $20 to play this course. Could not even play 18th due to bunker work......

Greens are overrun with Po!
I don't think I have ever seen a course with as much bad growth of Po greens embedded in the putting greens ... it was everywhere, and I know from the past that it has become an ever-increasing problem for this course.
I won't have a desire to play it again until that is fixed. The group I was playing with also felt like we were playing on a surface that has buttons all over the greens ... can't hold even the best of putts like that.

Always a good round but…
Fix the greens. Kill the poa annua. They are too bumpy

Greens need work
Played here before and was good but recently the greens need a lot of work. Have some other grass growing and causing it to be very bumpy. Not worth the money but they are redoing the bunkers so hopefully they will clean up the greens too. Good layout and when in good conditions a lot of fun and worth it

Other Golfers
Watch out for the Golfers around you when playing this course. The group behind me passed us at the turn which slowed play. Even after we had a discussion about it. Good course good layout greens need work. But watch out for the clientele. And a single joined us who played ahead of our group. Even got on a par 3 green before the rest of us hit our shots.
Thank you so much for taking the time to leave an excellent rating! We really appreciate your business. Please let us know what we can do for you in the future to earn that last star!
