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.

Course in great shape and great course layout

Course is a great track and is in great shape but I feel it’s a little pricey at $71 I feel it should be around $55-$60 do to still having some minor course shape issues

Great course

I've been in Dallas a year and I'm leaving next week and my biggest regret is that yesterday was the first time I played this course. I let reviews keep me away. My bad. This course is such a great lay out, elevation changes and great greens. And for someone like me who doesn't get more than 225 off the tee it's still VERY playable. I'd reccomend this place to anyone.

Much improved

Haven’t played in a year or so and greens are in much better shape now. A little slow but grass is great. Pace of play was awful, 5 hour round. Driving range balls and mats are horrible as well.

Comeback!

I’ve played this course for many years. After the Bug Freeze, they struggled to keep their greens and course in shape. Indeed, it got pretty bad for a while. I’m happy to say that the course is now in EXCELLENT shape! Congrats to the greens crew for bringing the course back in great playing condition!

Pace of play was long, but it was cart path only which slows things down no matter where you are.

Fun Track

I play here a couple times per month. I like the layout of the holes and the tee selection makes it quite difficult from the tips, or for those who choose whites much more manageable.

The course is in good shape this year. Greens are med/fast and in mostly good condition.

Things they could improve

1 Add yardage screen for cart

2 Add Ball Washers at tee boxes

3 Carts are a bit beat up and run slow

All in all it’s worth checking out if you are looking for a course in the lower price range that has some character.

So so muddy

This was my second time playing the course. It was in really rough shape. It appears that they don’t have any kind of drainage system off the greens. It was the morning after a light rain, and there was standing water in multiple spots on almost every hole. The saturated soil made iron and wedge shots extremely difficult.

Also, on the 9th fairway, there were dozens of range balls scattered everywhere. The range was closed when we were there and our tee time was 8:42am, so it appears the course has no procedure in place to clear range balls from the course.

I doubt we’ll be back. There are so many good options nearby.

The day I played it was massively slow pace of play ( Thursday) (actually skipped a hole)

Pretty much the worst driving range in the metroplex

No drinking water on the course or ball washers

The golf cart I had I wasn't sure if I was going to make it off the first tee and sputtered all day

Good shape Great round

Course is in very decent shape, nice easy round even when 5 or so different groups all seemingly Tee’d off back to back right around noon.

Golf now hot deals are becoming a joke, you click one go to book and they charge you and tell you the tee time is no longer available so then you’re in golf mode but can’t get the nice discount they show to bait you in. I ended up having to call customer service luckily the nice lady helped me actually book for the hot deals price. Figure it out GN, sheeessh

Muddy with no rain

I was surprised to find so much mud on the course considering it hasn't rained here for over a month - and not just a little mud, it was across the fairways on just about every hole, and 3-4 inches deep - even along the cart path by the driving range.

Since the conditions can't be blamed on the weather, it can only be caused by the ground crew not properly monitoring the irrigation, although I can't understand how they could waste so much water to make the course close to unplayable. The ruts in the fairways from the carts going through the mud we be there for quite some time.

I can't imagine what things will look like when we actual get some rain. Won't be back for a while since it will take a while for the course to recover.

Good time

Got a 7:34 tee time for 2 of us Finished in 3 1/2 hours! Only gripe is that the course appears to have over-watered in areas. It hasn't rained in a month, but our cart and ourselves were muddy by the end of the round. Still, good course, good time.

Slow Play

I’ve been wanting to play this course for some time now and it was a disappointing experience. The pace of play was brutal, 5 hours and 25 minutes. No water jugs anywhere on the golf course and it was a little warm yesterday. The golf carts are in horrible condition and need to be replaced or maintained better. The course was very muddy in lots of places, I’m assuming from the sprinklers. The entire place is in need of a good deal of maintenance.

Soaked Course

For having zero rain this whole month, the course was drenched and left areas unplayable. Sprinkler heads were just gushing water. I'll go back, but will make sure its fixed before I do.
