I went back to this course after years of avoiding it just to see if it got any better. In short.... not, but at least it wasn't underwater. It would be way easier to list the things I liked about this. Th course is unreliably terribly maintained. Greens were slow and bumpy, there are no fairways so you are just constantly playing out of rough, and the tee boxes are full of just grass clippings and most of them weren't even close to level. The course design is a mix of passable holes and dead straight sadness. Some of the greens are a normal shape but around half are just circles on a 20 degree incline. The best way to explain this course is miserable. Also a lot of the "fairways" are full of weeds and holes that make playing out of them pure torture. Seriously, if you are going to pay $35 to play golf spend 20 minutes driving to a real course and play there. I genuinely feel sorry for anyone that thinks this course is considered good.

So we showed up, the club house was closed, there was a sign that said "leave 10 bucks in the box and have fun". The course sucks. The holes are very strange and inconsistent. Half of the greens are normal and the other half are raised off the ground, perfectly round, and on a 30 degree incline. Hole 2 was completely underwater so I skipped it. There is really just not much to enjoy here other than hole 9 is surprisingly fun. No practice facility either so there is really no reason to go back other than for the memes.

This course is rated so high for a reason. Nothing specific about the layout blows you away, but the course conditions and scenic beauty make it one of the most fun and relaxing courses I have ever played. It is always dry and in good condition even in the off season. The practice facilities are incredible and unlimited range balls and a cart is included in the green fee. The biggest downside is the price, but I find myself digging up the cash to go play at least once a year. Any golfers that find themselves in the area owe it to themselves to come experience this masterpiece of a course.

I have played this course 10+ times and it is just as fun every single time. It is always in great condition, absolutely stunning surroundings, and very fun and challenging. I am very surprised that this course is rated as low as it is. As a long driver I have never played a course that allows you to give the driver some gas better than this one. The holes are designed not to force you to put the ball in the fairway or you are in water, but allows the player to go out there and play golf and have fun without feeling like the course designer wants you to suffer. The Ridge offers 18 enjoyable holes that are fair but challenging and don't force you to play the hole the way the course designer wants you to. This course may not be enough to go out of your way to experience but if you are in the area you can't afford to miss this gem.

This course is fun and worth a round but it has to be the most random design ever. All the holes are completely different, like you can have a fairway 150 yards wide on one hole and have a fairway 50 yards wide and trees in the middle on the next. If you are looking for a course that has a little of everything than play this one. Is it fun? yes. But it is not very casual and isn't super replayable. It is in good condition though.

This is my home course so I play it very often so it is a very repayable course. This course has declined in overall quality over the last few years but is still fun and playable. The course is not too difficult and features plenty of water and bunkers but they are usually not too big of a threat. The highlight hole is probably the 18th's island green. Don't come and expect to get a premium golf experience but if you are in the area looking for a casual round it is a good option.

This is one of the best and most challenging courses in the county. It is not a prestige golf course but it is great for those that enjoy terrain courses. Featuring some fantastic tees and well placed and landscaped greens it is a course that can be both challenging and enjoyable for all skill levels. Cart is recommended.

Raspberry is a 9 hole course that features very tight fairways and short but challenging holes. There isn't too much to say other than it I don't recommend it for slicers as there is no forgiveness for them. If you are looking for a short and casual walk it is good but there are far better courses in the area.

One of the worst courses I have ever played. The hole design is confusing and nonsensical. The course is poorly built and rocky. If you are anywhere near a coherent golfer steer clear of this mess. Honestly with so many better courses in the area to chose from this is a course I will probably never return to.

This course is completely unplayable 9 months out of the year because some of the holes are just underwater. I played once where the entire length of hole 2 was a water hazard. Most of the holes are the exact same layout: not to long, dead straight, and a perfectly round elevated green. There are a few holes that are actually enjoyable but they are not worth playing 15 holes of stupidity for. This is a big skip.

This course may not be the best designed course in the county but it is certainly the best landscaped and maintained. The holes, with the exception of a few, are mostly standard golf holes with nice easy fairways and tightly guarded greens. The abundance of water hazards makes for a lot of intimidating shots and Loomis is not afraid to put bunkers in your way either. But overall the track is challenging but nothing outstanding. Where Loomis really shines is the overall experience. It all starts in absolutely the most stunning club house/hotel in the county that can be seen on a few of the holes but the 18th offers the best views over the green and water. Also every hole is landscaped and the entirety of the water hazards are beautifully lined and framed. The greens are all perfectly maintained as well. Loomis is not a casual course, but if you are a golfer looking for a challenge and an experience then it is the course to visit if you are in the area. The Biggest downside is the green fee is a bit steep(starting at $60) but I always make sure to get a round in at least once a year.

North Bell is a open course that has shorter but quite challenging holes. They offer reasonably wide fairways with tight bunkers and some water. But the biggest obstacle in this course is the tall and thick grass that lines every hole. The biggest ups to this course is that almost every hole can be approached and played multiple ways as well as the usually fast and true greens. The biggest downs is that there is almost always wind to contend with and the back 9 is very squished together and on hole 17 it is very easy to go for the wrong green. It is though a good and fun course for all skill levels.

I love this course. But the greens fee is way to steep. Rounds can cost up to $100 which is absurd. However if you get the chance to play the course will not disappoint. It offers 18 beautifully laid out and maintained holes that are challenging but fair and will leave you wishing you had the extra change laying around to play this course once a week.

This course is on paper nothing special, but there is just something about it that is magic. The course length and layout is average but it has some incredible views, great landscaping, and is just a pleasure to play. The front 9 is pretty flat and features some tough shots into the green but has some very fun tees to hit off of. The back 9 is very hilly and has some amazing tees including the 15th (I think) where you tee of a ridge that is easily 150 feet above the fairway. This course has everything in it that makes golf so fun and if you have a good game this course will be the best one you will play this season.
