Greens are still torched from freezes and full of bumpy crab grass that has moved in. The course condition has gone downhill from when I played it last over a year ago. Ridgeview is the now the new Plantation. Avoid at all costs, there are better tracks similarly priced in the same area.

We’ve had some rain the last two months but it had not rained in 5 days. Some holes were unplayable due to amount of standing water and mud. No modern drainage on this older course. No cart staff anywhere and it was the hottest day of the year. On course water coolers did not have cold water, honestly, it may have been leftover from day before.

Arrived exactly 40 minutes before my 9:30 tee time so I could stretch, warm up, and do my pre round routine as usual. Paid inside at the pro shop and she said no mention of my new time. I go outside and starter says my new tee time is now 9:00AM. I showed him my golf now reservation and he shows me his board with the groups at my 9:30 tee time. Since I was a single they moved me up without telling me. From that point on I was completely rushed with no warm up. I get out to #1 and I’m behind a two some who is behind a foursome. The two some gives up after two holes of slow pace and leaves their cart and elect to walk rest of the round. I timed it on my phone, round took 5 hours and 15 minutes and I was a single.

Super slow pace, will never play here on a Saturday morning again! Starter delayed my 2-some and pushed 4-some of local members ahead of us. We were stuck between 3 slow groups of 4 - took us 3.5 hours to play 9 holes. Quit after 10 holes. Save your money and play somewhere else.

I played Plantation a few years back and after yesterday's round I realized why I had not played here for several years. Zero golf carts available at check in time, pro shop staff seemed bothered by every request. Had to wait on every single hole 10-15 minutes since they were backed up. It is a true hackers paradise, every golfer hits 2-3 balls off the tee and in between shots. We teed off at 3PM and finished exactly at 8PM. Pay the extra money and go play somewhere nicer like Frisco Lakes or Westridge.
