This course has it all. Great layout, its in great condition now that it has started raining again, the greens are challenging and you can play in about 4 hours. Pace of play is my prime reason for picking a golf course. I simply cannot stand to be on the course for 5-6 hours. And thats what you get with most of the public courses in this area. At River Ridge you get a very well maintained golf with a diverse layout without waiting on every shot.

The golf course is super dry adding lots of yardage roll out on the fairways. The greens are hard also so we needed to adjust our strategy beyond just distance and wind direction. It fun to hit the ball so much further. But the greens take back what the fairways give. Pace of play was just over four hours, an major plus in our opinion.

The guy in the pro shop told us the course was behind since they had a tournament out on the course. There were a LOT of golf carts around the club house and on the putting green. So we were looking forward to a very slow day on the course. But when its was all said and done we played in just over four hours, which is long for this course, but much better than we anticipated. We waited on some holes but not very long. The course was in great condition.

This is a secret in the area. Great layout, excellent pace of play and reasonable priced.

And I am surprised at how consistent the overall quality of rating i keep giving it. We played as a two some and got around the course in 3 hours and 15 minutes. Admittedly we play fast, but the funny thing was the pro shop guy told us the course was full, but we never had anyone behind us or in front. The course was in great conditions, the greens were fast and true. And the price is right!

This course is one of the best in the area. Pace of play is very important to us and we have never had a longer than 4 hour round here. Also the course is maintained like a private course with challenging holes for every level of play. A real gem.

This golf course has everything: speed of play, excellent conditions, challenging layout with a variety of, tee boxes to suit every level of golf, free warm up bag of practice balls, short game area, the whole package. One of the things I like about the set up is the first tee is distanced from the club house so you don't have a gallery surrounding your first shot of the day.

Usually when a course is in the condition River Ridge is, you can expect it to be jammed. But we consistently find ourselves playing at normally busy hours (9:30) and breezing around the course in four hours. We played as a foursome with two members and waited on the 18th fairway for 5 minutes. Other than that we just got to the tee, hit away and played the hole. The greens are tricky in the sense that you will read a break that is not there and vice versa. Fairways and tee boxes are perfect. Always a pleasure to play this course
