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
Great round
Course in good shape for winter, greens fast and nice shape. Staff was very friendly.
This course has a good layout and is easy to score well when you hit greens. The absolute worst thing about the course is the carts. They are garbage, with conditions so bad they are dangerous.

Greens in good shape, folks started working to improve drainage. They also have rebuilt some sections of cart path . fairways still issue - very even
This is an amazing course
I just played this for the first time and I absolutely loved it. Played white tees. Course is super forgiving and has some unique layouts. The greens and fairways weren't PERFECT but had no issues playing. Putting was effected a little but I play for fun and had a blast. Keep in mind it's also winter and freezing outside and that could effect the course conditions as well. Would 100% play here again.
Good work on the course
Repairing cart paths, irrigation and draining . Tiptop
Top dressing greens. This course will be awesome in the spring!
Fast greens
This course has some serious drainage issues and carts are in terrible condition but if you enjoy an interesting layout and greens that are in good shape this course for the price is really really nice. We drive 30 minutes to enjoy this course. Play it!
Hidden Gem!
First time out here for us. We really enjoyed this golf course. Lots of elevation change. Lots of rolling hills. Greens are in great condition. Staff is really nice. Carts are getting a little worn out. Some tee boxes aren’t phenomenal but they are better than average. If you’re use to country club level this isn’t your jam but compared to many public courses this place is 7 out of 10 and has potential to be outstanding. A hidden gem of a layout!
Excellent layout!
Not sure why this place is getting lower reviews. The golf carts are needing to be replaced soon but other than that this place is great. Lots of elevation change and woodsy feel. Fun layout. Greens are in great shape. It’s not a country club level course but it definitely holds its own as a public course. Staff was nice. Pro shop is nice. Practice area is nice. I definitely recommend this place!
It’s gotten way better
This place had gone way downhill, but clearly something has changed. Greens seem to have improved. Fairways are in solid shape for winter and so are tees.
I feel like something must have changed. New ownership or something. I’ll be back.
PAB12/3
Greens great shape- fairways still issue. Not smooth at all. Liked layout very much
better conditions?
greens were good, the rest of the course was still in bad shape. mud everywhere, every tee shot covered in mud, no rain for a week. Cpo holes had to walk thru mud to access fairways. mud surrounding every cart path. broken cart paths, tractor tracks thru fairway and rough. standing water and mud were the theme of the day. needs more time to recover, if it will at all
Love the Layout and Greens
This course could be country club quality it just needs some TLC. Some drainage issues that cause problems but I do love this course. Remember the days we were paying half this price. Wish they had the money for improvements!
