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.

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.

You are doing a dis-service to your fellow golfers. You give one of the worst conditions golf courses in the metroplex an excellent review and say they have excellent conditions. Be honest, this course is in terrible condition.

First and foremost I’m not someone who writes bad reviews easily. But the course is in fair condition at best. Course rates have increased 20% everywhere and tee times are hard to come by. So the pandemic excuse is wearing thin and Golf Now needs to take that disclaimer off the top of the review page. The last thing to be this good for golf before the pandemic was Tiger Woods. There’s No excuse for a course charging $70 a round and $12 for range balls to be in this poor of condition.

Layout of holes makes the round fun and you can use every club in the bag. Other than some holes revealing some drainage issues and back 9 greens needing some tlc, course was good for December, i will be playing it again.
