Aesthetically Pleasing and Interesting Layout - Stay Away On weekends

Always enjoy this golf course for its design and very good condition and greens. Overpriced to walk and gets too much play on weekends and they do not have a policy of regulating the 1st tee properly so it gets very slow real quick in the round. When you have a very nice facility like this it behooves leadership (owners) to to manage the most elemental issue of public golf, that is, keep it moving..!! Will not be going back except maybe on a weekday.

great score when dry, it plays toughr in the back then the front but enjoy playing it , the greens have to be th best on the south shore, challenging breaking puts on most all. i do not play here much , i think its a bit over priced in season but the winter rate is best.

I would say a must play course.

staffs are very rude!

play there with two friends three times in 2015 and we would never go back there playing again. the course is not bad and the location and food is good. But each time the staff is very rude to the golfers. they act like we owe their money and they do us a big favor by playing there. Worst golf experience we have had ever...will never go back there to play again...

Easy layout, easy walk.

Ridder is an easy walk, easy playing course. Typically in very good condition. Greens can vary, but were pretty quick which I like. Good warm up course: the front nine is very easy, the back is a bit more challenging. Pace of play is kind of slow. I think they get their share of beginners/hackers.

easy course to navigate

Ridder Farm is a nice course where there is no super challenge in playing . Call it a good warm up course. tee boxes need a little work- greens in good shape. staff very friendly

Once is enough

The course was just OK...nothing special but the pace of play really dragged. Waited on just about every hole and I would not go back.

Overall decent too bad...

Overall nice course too bad the price is kinda high for the caliber of a course. The staff inside is ok. Unfortunately they give a hassle with golf now customers and rarely offer deals that are good. When they are sometimes they wont be with a cart and you wont know till you get there. I like the course but its too bad cause id play it a little more to shake up things.
