I played Gus for the first time on the recommendation of a couple of locals at another course. Overall, I enjoyed the course. It's tucked away where you wouldn't expect a course to be. It has plenty of challenges and the greens were somewhat tricky. The round was going along just great until mother nature decided to end it on the 16th. I'll definitely be going back to make the full turn. If you haven't had the chance to play here, you should.

Being that this was my first time playing this course, I'll do my best to fair. The course has been around a while, and it shows. The staff was very nice and helpful, the course layout was good, unfortunately the condition of the course was rough. I would like to try it again to see if the experience is a little better. I think the heat has something to do with the condition, of the course, so I'll definitely need to tee it up again.

Overall, I enjoyed playing the course. It was fun to play the different holes that mirror the PGA courses. Wasn’t sure what to expect playing after a heavy rain, but the course was decent shape. Most bunkers weren’t playable, green were in great shape, and the fairways were fairly dry. I’m definitely going to play this course again being only a few miles from my new home. If I had one critique, maybe some water stops along the course would be nice.

Overall the course was in decent shape. A little wet here, to dry over there. My biggest obstacle was the greens. They were very difficult to read and for some reason would not hold speed. Pin placements were in odd spots which made it difficult to get the ball to the hole without it breaking. Hit it too hard and the ball wouldn’t break, to soft and the ball broke within a foot of the hole. Very frustrating.

I’ve played a lots of courses in the area and overall I’ve enjoyed coming back to Mather each time. Prices are fair and it’s a good course to walk. The course layout provides the amateur golfer with some good challenges and the greens are tough to hold. You have to think when making club selections to put you in a good position. Playing from the tips, you’ll definitely have to stoke the ball well. Always enjoy playing there.

Overall the course was in fairly good conditions. Hitting in the fairways was a must because that outer edges were very dry and your ball would want to run. The greens were a little to short to my liking, so speed was a factor for me. It was worth the money (hot deal) and I'd recommend the course to friends.

I've played a lot of courses in Northern CA and I've never been disappointed playing The Ridge. Every time I've played this course it's always in great condition. The course will provide every level of golfer a challenge and each hole has a different look to it. The greens are challenging and roll true. I will make the drive to play this course, because it's beautiful and it's that good. If your looking for a nice experience without having to drive hours to play, I highly recommend The Ridge.

This being the first time I've played the course I didn't know what to expect. The first thing I noticed was the winter brown fairways. There was something about this type of grass that didn't settle well with my eyes. Compared to other local courses, this has been the only one that I've played like this. The greens have already been micro-punched which didn't seem to affect the putting. The pin placements where all in pretty difficult positions today. Maybe under different conditions, I'll try going back for another round. I think I"m going to wait for the conditions to improve before going back.

Overall the course was in great shape. I’ve never been disappointed playing at The Ridge. From the layout to the condition, it’s about the experience of playing on a course that doesn’t cost you hundreds of dollars. I highly recommend playing this course if you’ve never experienced it.

Overall I liked playing the course. It's definitely starting to look like fall there. There are a lot of trees, but they don't hinder play at all. It has some very challenging holes laid out throughout the 18 holes. The greens are in good shape and rolling true and somewhat quick. I definitely plan on going back again, especially if this weather holds out longer.

Overall the course was in decent shape. There were greens that seem to have been attacked by some type of fungus or something. I missed several putts because it was like four wheel drive putting. It's a good course that will challenge you a bit.

Overall I thought the course played well. There are some challenging holes to tackle and making the right club selection is important. Several blind tee shots and greens. Though the greens were in good shape, it was hard to judge them. Speed varied from green to green and played slower then expected for the weather conditions. Hitting the ball straight is important because the fairways are lined with trees, lots of them. I enjoyed the experience and look forward to playing T.C. in the future.

Yesterday it definitely felt like fall was in the air. Overall the course was in fairly good condition. A few of the tee boxes could use a little help. The fairway were a little soft and wet in spots. The greens were in good shape and not running to quick.

Unfortunately I wasn’t able to play today because the course scheduled a college tournament right before I was supposed to tee off. They were already behind on the tee sheet and they didn’t seem overly concerned about it. There would have been no way I could have finished the round even if I had waited around to play. It would have been nice to have know this information up
front. I wouldn’t have taken the time to drive almost an hour to play the course. Why a college match was scheduled on a Saturday baffles me.

Overall I enjoyed the course. Fairly flat and pretty open as long as you stay out of the trees dividing the fairways. The greens were soft and speed was hard to judge at times. I definitely look forward to teeing it up again soon.

If your looking for a great value and can only squeeze nine holes in, Emerald Lakes is for you. Course is always in great shape and the greens are always some of the best in the area. It has some short challenging holes and throws in a couple driving holes. Its also a good practice facility if that’s what you need. I’m there almost every week. The only drawback is when the local high schools play matches there. Play does get pretty slow.

Overall the course played as good as it could due to the recent rains. Very wet and cold conditions, but the course layout is challenging and workable. The greens were in great shape, tuff due to the weather. Looking forward to playing the course again when the sun come out.

The course doesn't drain very good so there was mud everywhere. The fairways were over soaked and the greens were in fairly bad condition. It's a good course when the conditions are dry.
