My friends first time.

I brought out my friend for the first time. He had always seen and heard about the course and thought it was a little too intimidating for his level of play. We took our time and had a great time. Always love playing thos course.

Poorly Maintained

Ridgemark G. C.used to be one of my favorite local courses. The lay out is challenging but the course is not well maintained. The fairways are over grown, I couldn't tell where the fairway ended and the rough began. Also the bunkers are a joke! On Sunday when I putted I saw a rooster tail from all the moister on the green. I didn't see any grounds keepers working in the morning. Even with reduced prices, unless the course is better maintained, I will not be returning.

Spread Out

The course is messed up since going from 36 holes to 18. Definitely need a cart (maybe a 4 wheel drive). from hole 7 to 8 you bypass the old #8. From hole 12 you bypass the old #13. Hole # 16 is now a par four. when completing hole #9 there is no turn at the club house. the greens are fine but the the course it self needs more maintenance. I really, again really wish they left the original (1980's) course alone. I feel for all those home owners that now have a cow pastures in their back yards.

Hey Paul. Thanks so much for your review. We're so happy to hear that you loved the original courses as much as we did. Recent drought conditions forced us to make a hard decision. We've done our best to preserve the old in combination with the new. We value and appreciate your feedback. Thank you for choosing Ridgemark Golf & Country Club. We hope that you will give our new layout a second look.

Finally a competent greenskeeper

I have played this course many times over the years and I have never seen the greens in better shape. Compliments to the greenskeeper. The rest of the course condition is average at best. Bar, Restaurant staff and quality of food are very good.

used to be a fun course to play

they transition two courses into one and it is a mess. you drive around having no idea where to go having to depend on a little 11 by 12 piece of paper saying this way to the next hole. No cart service and the course is in terrible shape as well. I have played this course many times in the past and will never Play It Again. Save your money and play somewhere else that is organized .searching for signs to tell you where to go. Also makes GPS watches or phones useless because two different courses and skipping holes it's completely a mess. Really too bad this course used to be a fun place to play.

Overbooked and allow 5somes

It was ridiculous we(me and my wife ) went out as a two(no one was paired with us)but we had two 5somes in front of us and I saw another 3 behind us and even one 6some.Sorry but I don't understand this philosophy at all,Sure it looked like some of them were members with there own carts but come on waiting at every hole forever to shoot is ridiculous and booking groups every 7 mins when most are a fivesome is not even realistic.I'm sure it wouldn't have been as bad if they could play half way decent but every hole 3 were looking for balls and if we had another two people playing with us it wouldn't have been so slow feeling as well but to put a twosome between all the 5somes was really a cruel deal.off my list of polaces to play again and greens have a fungus and don't roll true at all this needs to be corrected.

Needs some tlc

An okay round of golf, you can find a better deal at other courses. The course and surrounding grounds need a lot of TLC, it was the day after Christmas but they didn’t have a drink cart going around and there was only one water fountain for 18 holes and no place to get snacks or a food until you were back at the club house. Not sure how it’s considered a country club.

Fun curse to play.

I was in 2 bunkers. One had very little sand, the other was a great bunker. That sums up the course. Parts are really good and other parts need work. Still fun to play.

Fun course to play

Always a fun course to play. The par 3s are relatively long and challenging. Most importantly because it rained a few days ago greens were bumpy which made it more challenging .

“I always tell myself be grateful your playing this great game no matter the outcome”

Fun but rough

This is a fun Golf Course to play, but it needs a little help. Lots of areas are in rough condition and the greens were a bit bumpy. The staff was very friendly and helpful. Will definitely play this course again when in the area.
