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.

Golfer Reviews
Nice open course good for all levels as have multiple tee options
Enjoyed our first round here - Staff very friendly,
effortless check in and great value. fairways in good condition and generally not too challenging from forward tees. Only reason gave 4 star overall was tees were still a bit bumpy following aeration. Probably need a few more days of watering and sun. Definitely going back here now we ahve the lay of the course.
Greens are horrible
Used to be one of my favorites but their prices kept going up so I had not been there in probably 3+ years.
Tee boxes, fairways, layout, all that stuff is an "A".
But....
They obviously got caught with their proverbial pants down during the abnormal, prolonged freeze in February as the greens are HORRIBLE. Gravel parking lot horrible. After 3-4 holes, we just gave up on putting as it was not worth the effort.
Traps are bad also as they do not drain well and many are a mix of mud and hard pack.
I would recommend the course just because of all the good things about it, but I would be very up front about the greenside issues.
Hopefully they get those things worked out and when they do, it will be a great tract across the board once again.
We appreciate you taking the time to leave us a review. We would love to know how we can earn those last two stars next time! Thanks for playing Ridgeview Ranch Golf Club.
Don’t book here unless you have a large group
Greens in horrible shape. Group of eight with 6 golf bags in front of us, called into clubhouse - nothing. Finally played through group of 8 on turn and ran into group of 6 on the back nine. Horrible experience.

Sometimes It Sucks
No water on the course yet, even at 99 degrees ambient and 108 degrees heat index. Greens are not worth putting on right now. The chart girl did come around; just not often enough. We were almost finished with the front side before we encountered the cart girl. No marshal on the course. The foursome in front of us was totally unaware, it seems, of our presence. There were two empty holes in front of the them. When we got to number 9, we just drove around them and went to 10. Where's a cop when you need them. Today, in the clubhouse with the A/C.
Thank you for leaving us a review. We are sorry to hear your experience was anything short of 5 stars, but we hope you will give us another try in the future. Thank you for choosing Ridgeview Ranch Golf Club.
Parking has always been an issue at this course. Greens are. In terrible shape. Rolling aball across the parking lot is probably smoother. Fairways in great shape.
Thank you for taking the time to review us! Your feedback is valuable, and we hope to have you back again in the near future. Ridgeview Ranch Golf Club thanks you!
4x4 will be needed for putting
The ball bounces during tracking to the hole. It physically bounces like a 4x4 truck going down a country road.
This course was decent in the past but it’s really on a downhill slide right now.
4x4 needed for these greens
It’s been a while since I’ve played Ridgeview and WOW the greens are horrible. The ball bounces when you putt. The previous days hole was so prominent that when my ball went over it the ball took a hard 30 degree turn mid putt. HORRIBLE GREENS.

Tee Boxes and Fairways Superb, Greens in Bad Shape
I thought the course overall was a lot of fun. The tee boxes and Fairways were lush and in great shape, but the greens were dried out with a lot of dead spots and sand and were very hard to putt on. That being said the course layout was challenging yet fair, pace of play was decent, and the value was very good. I will definitely play again.
Thank you for your review! We will pass along your positive experience to our team at Ridgeview Ranch Golf Club. We look forward to seeing you again soon.

Conditions are a little rough right now
The layout of this course is a lot of fun, but conditions (especially the greens) are not good currently.
I would suggest waiting a month or so to see if the greens improve
Greens are in BAD shape
They had to have just been punched, which would have been nice to know before spending $70 for the round. The greens were impossible to make a putt due to the sand and bumbs all over them. The range was also closed because of rain. Overall, the course is a good layout, but make sure the greens are in better shape before you play.

RIDGEVIEW RANCH
The greens are in terrible shape and most of the tee boxes are too. However the fairways are in good shape.
Sad story
Course has deteriorated over that’s 18 months. Greens are probably worst in a ten mile radius. Bummers have never been in great shape. Needs a lot of TLC. Shame it was a nice layout and staff is great.
We love hearing about our golfers' experiences, memartin369. Please tell us more about what you enjoyed during your round. Thanks for choosing Ridgeview Ranch Golf Club!

Green is terrible and fairway needs some attention
I played here about a month ago and came back hoping that the green condition has been improved. It's sandy, bumpy, and lacks care. Some parts of the fairway need quite an attention as well. It used to be a fun course and many people liked it. Hopefully, they can manage the course a bit better.
We appreciate you taking the time to review the course and rate us. Thank you for the 4 stars! We aim for a 5-star experience, so we appreciate your feedback. Thank you for playing Ridgeview Ranch Golf Club. We hope to see you again soon!
