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.

Good course but needs work
The layout of Ridgeview Ranch is fun. There are a variety of holes with a few holes needing some creativity to score well. The pace of play was fine for a Wednesday afternoon. The greens were rolling well for the most part, just a little inconsistent on speed from one to the next.
I have played here a few times over the years, and just realized there is are no ball washers on the entire course nor on the carts. So, then you look for a water jug to get a towel wet so you can wash your ball, but there are no water jugs on the course. How does a golf course not have any ball washers, especially at $59 for a weekday?
Course condition is AMAZING
I was extremely impressed with how perfect the course is right now. Also, they have new carts that make it a very enjoyable round!
Picon
The golf course is one of those you enjoy at maximum.
I really enjoy playing every hole with unique characteristics and.
I highly recommend Ridgeview Ranch Golf Course
Slow
The course is in desperate need of a course marshal. The pace of play on a weekday was too slow. Multiple times there were 2-3 groups waiting on a tee box.
Nice Course
First time to play at this course. Nice fairways & solid greens. Snack bar ladies were super nice, good value for the money.
Much better conditions than previous visit.
The course was in extremely poor shape that last time I visited. I tried it again after hearing about course condition improvement. It was actually better than I expected. Would play it again. Only con is that pace of play was painful on the back nine. Had to wait long periods on every tee shot.
Nice Day
I was behind a group that said they were in a tournament. After the first hole I played, they were at least 1 hole behind the group in front of them. They played extremely slow, took many extra practice putts and took forever to get off the greens.
The course is in desperate need for a Marshall on the course to ensure the pace of play is enjoyable by all golfers.
Course Conditions are Improving
Great job to the groundskeeper for improving the course conditions and greens. A year ago, it was not good, but the course conditions are getting better! Nice work!
New cart, best staff!!!
I've used this course several times, and my only complaint has always been the old golf carts with bad brakes. When I visited recently, I noticed all the carts had been replaced with new ones, and their condition was excellent. Last Sunday, while I was playing with my daughter and husband, I realized I had left my S-club somewhere on the front nine. After the 9th hole, I told a staff member at the counter and finished the back nine. When I got to the clubhouse after our round, a staff member was waiting for me with my club. Thank you to the player and the staff member who found my club.
