I Recommend This Course
Great golf experience
Big, bold, visually impressive, and fun. Greens were nearly perfect. Super long, but if played from the right tees, more playable than other RTJ courses. Unless you put one in the water, you'll have a hard time losing a ball here. Room to miss on most holes.

I Recommend This Course
Best RTJ course but not cheap.
The Ross Bridge is the best RTJ course in my opinion but it is the most expensive. My main complaint about RTJ courses is that the green complexes are too sectioned off so if you are not within 20-25 feet with an approach you would have to go over a large slope to get to the correct level or section. Ross Bridge greens give you the ability to have a reasonable two putt from 40-50 feet if you miss your approach. The elevation changes provide great views and large drops from tee to fairway. Offers a great practice area and ends with a fun finishing hole that makes you think on both the tee and approach shot. The course was in great shape and the greens were very nice considering they are bent andI played it in late
september after a hot and dry summer. Really enjoyed it!

Dear blueg1rl,
We are truly happy that you liked the course! We always remind people that while we may be the 4th longest course in the world, it certainly has wide fairways to tame it down a bit. Thank you for providing feedback, and we hope to see you back at Ross Bridge again soon!
