Paradise Valley is a perfect 1/2 point to meet my son for a round. I have played it 5 times now and always found it in good shape and very playable. The roughs yesterday (3/24/16, a Thursday) were a little longer than normal but that is understandable because of recent rains. Speaking of rain the course drains nicely. The views are nice. Pace of play was pretty good at 4 hr 15 min. Greens were just a little bumpy but fair and nice.
The staff has always been friendly in the pro shop, on the course and in the restaurant.
BTW, we had a great hamburger in the restaurant just before the round.
If you get a chance to play this course you should.

I always enjoy playing The Ridge....I don't always have a great score...but always enjoyable.
As usual, the course was in very good shape. The greens today were much slower than usual, very sandy.
The maintenance crew has done a great job rehabbing the bunkers throughout the course.
If you are anywhere in or around the Sacramento Area, it is surely worth the drive up 80 to play The Ridge.

Sunset Whitney (Rocklin Golf Club) is a great place to play. Lots of challenges with some water and unforgiving OB areas but just as many holes with feel good opportunities.
Pace of play can be very slow at times. Not sure if its because of how the hole stack up or the degree of difficulty of some holes
While the clubhouse is a little dated; the staff is exceptionally friendly.
Even at the full "rack rate" this course is a exceptionally good value and I will continue to try to get out there a couple times a month.
