River Ridge Golf Club - The Victoria Lakes Course

The only green on the course is the overgrown weeds. The bunkers are solid rock and haven’t seen a racking in years
They take your money but don’t give you much in return

Played the Vineyard 5/26. Conditions have improved recently. They are finally getting through the mowing and the fairways are better - actually delineated from the rough, and the turf seems to have improved. The grass on the greens is also improved. They are not as splotchy and bumpy, although still very slow. Looks like the grass health is coming around after a rough winter. The traps are still a wasteland. In general course conditions are significantly better than a month ago.

The River Ridge courses have gone downhill considerably since American Golf took over management. The greens used to be fast and true. That said, the courses are a good backup option if other local courses are booked up.

River ridge courses are a good challenge. Always fun and pace is usually consistent. A go to course for the group.

Vinyard course not maintained well, greens were not mowed recently, tee boxes were spotted. Needs to be managed better.

I've heard a lot of negative stories about the course conditions over the past year. I was pleasantly surprised. It is way better than I heard.
The new management has slowed the greens and is working on the fairway conditions. The staff is very helpful and friendly. I will return. The price is good also!

I have been golfing Riverridge for probably 25 years and it was such a beautiful course back in the day. I don’t golf much anymore but when I went out and played last I was embarrassed. I brought a friend with me and I talked about how nice this course is. When we played it was ugly and not the course I was knew. I really hope it’s just from California being in a drought. But the Cowboys field looked great. Maybe take some notes on how to maintain grass from them. Doubt I will play Riverridge anytime soon.

I only expect so much from River Ridge, as it has been in mediocre shape for years now. At least it is priced well. I would only play here if I got a bargain. Even with that caveat current conditions are worse than usual. Fairways are as bad as I can remember (on Vineyard) with all kinds of invasive species growing in the fairways and bare spots abounding. The rough is completely untended. Traps are dirt patches. Greens, which have been reasonably good this winter, are now recently punched and sanded, so they are still a couple weeks from recovering. All in all it was a pretty rough experience and I wouldn't recommend it at least until the greens recover and the one guy on a mower makes it down all 18 fairways.

They are REALLY Letting course go down hill. Weeds, overgrowth and dirt fairways everywhere. Sad

The current condition Of the course is not great right now. Full price for very sandy, aerated greens. Tee boxes filled with divots. Etc.

Total goat track. Inner city parking lots are in better shape than the fairways at this dump. There's a sign in the proshop warning of over sanding of the greens but that would be an improvement. The tee boxes are sloped and in terrible condition, the fairways are covered by 5 different types of weeds and the driving range was closed...of course.

In such poor shape I would consider this course one of the few times a golf course should be closed and replaced by a strip mall.

Bottom line,I spent more time on this review than they have on course maintenance.

Understandable to a point, cart paths only due to recent rain, but the Marshalls never addressed the slow groups

I had to pay for 2 people because my friend bailed on me. The wind was gale, and the course was a flooded mud pit so it should’ve been closed in the first place due to bad weather.
I’d understand if it was a nice day and crowded at the course, but no one was there, and I should’ve received a rain check instead of having to pay for my absent friend. I was expecting at least a cart fee waived, but no I had to pay 16 dollars for the cart as well.
We are all humans here. Where did all the love go?
If I were an employee at the course I would’ve loved to help me out in this situation, but they just want the money and for you to go get muddy and cold is not there problem.

Painfully slow play yesterday. Got off at 1:20 and quit after over 3 hours on #11.
