River Ridge Golf Club - The Victoria Lakes Course

I went here knowing they don't take the best care of either course and was still surprised at how bad it was. I played this same course a few months ago and while it wasn't in great shape it was much better than it was now.

It looked like they painted the fairways and the fairways were rock hard. It was like dirt with a little layer of grass in most spots

Also the guy we had to check in with was just rude and unhelpful. He kept somewhat pausing a phone call, would tell me to talk, then would start talking on the phone again and make me repeat myself later. There's a younger guy that works the pro shop that is the only helpful person I've had there before. He's incredibly friendly and helpful. The older guy working was just rude, short, and anything but helpful. We'd ask questions and he'd not address them and say things in a condescending tone each time.I've been golfing most of my life and have played at this properly a lot so the questions I was asking were fairly reasonable as well
Just a bad experience. I'm cancelling my slots for 4 here this weekend because of the conditions but the front desk is another big factor pushing me to other areas

Everything is relative when reviewing River Ridge. It's never in as good condition as its neighbors across the river in Ventura, but it can be a bargain, and the layouts of both courses are interesting and challenging. Right now as of the new year, the greens are bumpy but pretty good and reasonably fast. The fairways are ok. They've done some reseeding of them over the last year and they are coming in pretty well. The sandtraps need the word sand removed as there is no sand in many of them and the recent rains have washed them out. The storm was particularly heavy in Oxnard and the skeleton maintenance staff at RR hasn't gotten around to fixing things yet. But all in all, with the cheap rate I paid, I was happy. Beautiful views from the top of the former landfill.

The staff should really mark which holes are cart path only instead of a blanket cart path only rule. Most of the holes were dry enough for a cart, (maybe 2-3 were wet) that just seems like taking the easy way out. If they want to do a blanket rule maybe lower the price of the cart

Day after heavy rain, beautiful puffy clouds and clear views forever, cart path only, not crowded, 3 walkers on the Lakes fighting a 2-3 club cold wind... Fun! All were impressed by how well the course drained. Finished 18 in 4 hours with scarcely any mud on the wheels - and observed very little standing water on the course (besides the Lakes). Great venue! Glorious open views!

They punched the greens, no warning during booking. Fairways are mud. Conditions are about as bad as possible.

We love this course it is maintained very well and it's quite the challenge and the views are spectacular!

Delightful course layout with open vistas. As a visiting New Yorker in our group called it: "Paradise!"

Vineyard Course is in great shape and the greens are in good to great condition. Very enjoyable round.

Our 5 plus hour round had us waiting on just about every tee box it was Sunday so…. The course was in pretty reasonable shape and I enjoyed the lay out. I would play it again…

We played the Victoria Lakes, pretty windy that day. Can score good it’s a forgiving course. Always love playing here.
