Ridgeview Ranch Golf Club

I’ve been coming to Ridgeview Ranch for over 20 years. It’s convenient and the layout is nice. I’ve actually played some of my best golf there! However, I haven’t played there in well over a year due to the sheer volume of negative reviews and feedback. I was disappointed to hear that the course had fallen into disrepair and basic maintenance and greenskeeping were not being done.

I decided to take a chance yesterday and give RR another opportunity to earn my business and respect. Unfortunately, I was very disappointed and definitely will not be returning for the foreseeable future.

My first impression was pulling into the parking lot and noticing an avalanche of mud and dirt in the lot as I parked. After paying my green fee to the courteous guy in the pro shop, I proceeded to the putting green. Again, rivers of mud surrounding the green and driving range. After a few putts on the decent practice green I teed off. I’m in the middle of the fairway and you guessed it, rivers of mud and huge cracks and crevices in the fairway.

I could go on and on, but you get the picture. It’s as if they are trying to make up for months and months of neglect by flooding the course! Even a busted pipe was free flowing water on #8 fairway!

The last, and probably the most important issue that I found was:

THERE WERE ABSOLUTELY NO WATER STATIONS ON THE COURSE - NONE!!

I’ve played golf around the globe and in this is the very first time I have ever been to a course with ZERO WATER ON THE COURSE! So, water all over the golf course but none for the players?? Extremely ironic!

Needless to say I won’t be returning and, to be honest, I would like a refund! It was one of the worst, if not the worst, golf outings I’ve ever had. Fix it!

Ridgeview RANCH is a very appropriate name for the course.

It seemed like the dry patches of a dirt farm were randomly placed around the fairways throughout the course. Other than that everything was great. Solid greens with a challenging layout that is not crazy difficult from the tips. Definitely a course I will play again and again.

Got this tee time on a Hot Deal fairly last minute. It was in the middle of the day so not too hot yet at tee time. The course is in really good shape for this time of year. The green were moderate not super fast but really consistent. The fairway were soft and only a few holes looked like they had drainage issues. The intermediate rough was challenging and true anything outside of that was hard and punishing. Keep the ball in or around the fairways and you’ll have no trouble. The pace was slower than I would have liked but it wasn’t awful! We finished in about 4hrs 20mins. It is a fun course that is very getable but challenging in the right ways. The ONLY real complaint I have is the there is NO DRINKING WATER anywhere on the course. We did get a cart girl twice and the guy at the prison did warn me. So my main tip if you are going to play is BRING WATER! Otherwise great spot and a really fun round.

Green’s excellent this year. Nice track with some tight/challenging par fours, undulating greens

Greens were in very good shape — now, us golfers need to do our part and fix ball marks.

Still no sand on cart or par 3 tee boxes for divots

Range balls are pretty beat up, but we were able to warm up this time.

Friendly staff. Greens played really well. Most Tee boxes were in good shape. The bunkers while playable need some attention. Most fairways are in good shape but lots of ruts and bumps throughout. Driving range with TopTracer is you get a membership, terrible balls though. Decent practice putting green and short game area. No GPS on carts.

Staff is great but the course is in terrible shape. They have irrigation problems everywhere and some of those irrigation issues have been going on for months completely unresolved. Baffling. At this price point I don’t expect a lot but it’s by far in the worst shape compared to any other course nearby.

They need a new groundskeeper. They had their sprinklers running all day, and one guy on staff claimed that's the only way they can keep the grass green. My man, I would much rather play on dry, brown grass than have to play in mud. The course was in awful condition.

Paid $80 for a Saturday morning time, not a bad price all things considered. Greens are night and day better from the last time I played here, tee boxes looked good as well. This a great course for a casual round with friends.

Absolutely love this track. Well designed holes and each one is memorable. But I can’t help thinking it has too much of a “Muni” feel to it: tracks like this usually don’t. There are sprinkler leaks all over, bad conditions due to lack of maintenance everywhere, no drinking water on the course (it was 104 that day!). The cart was in horrible condition, as well as dirty, empty sand bottles, etc.. I recommend people to play due to the course design but don’t have high expectations for maintenance and service.

I’d strongly recommend looking into the irrigation on this course as multiple areas of concern regarding muddy fairway conditions due to poor irrigation and drainage.

Paid for the hot deal at 1058 in full ahead of time, only for the check in to charge the other 3 in my group the full price when checking in.

Course was in good condition despite some patches on the green.

Cart died on hole 3 due to battery issue.

Took 15 min to get another cart.

Otherwise good neighborhood course.

This is a friendly (easy) track espeially from the whites. A couple of the greens in the first few holes have been sodded so that sucks but for the most part it's in good shape. BRING WATER. They don't have any on the course.

Played this course in a period where not much rain had come down and figured I would have no issue with wet fairways and mud. I was very wrong. Half of the holes have large streaks of mud going down the middle of the fairways. Greens are awful and inconsistent with the exception of holes such as 12, 13, and 14. Couldn’t even finish hole 2 because they didn’t bother to mention that the green was closed for maintenance. Will not be returning, this place needs a lot of work. Solid clubhouse and pro shop staff though, at least the ones who were not teenagers.
