GO PLAY THIS COURSE

From the time, I entered the facility to check in, it was wonderful. The lady at the counter was business friendly, and just started the round out well.

The course has some very difficult holes, but was in good condition from tee to green. I did think there was a lot of distance from the gold tees around 5700 and the white at 6600, but beyond that the course is as fine a course as I have played in sometime. It had been 15 years since I had played there, but plan to go back as soon as possible. It is not close to my residence.
If in the area, it is a must play.

Great experience

Course is in extremely good condition, and will test every club. It was windy, and made club selection, very important.

If you are traveling I -57 and have time, stop and play. It is a very nice course in excellent condition. My only negative, there was no cart person and no water on the course. Beyond that, this course is a 10+

Tough greens

We were driving from Ky to Chicago for a wedding and booked online. Running late, we called the course and they were so nice "do not worry about it, start when you get here". We got there late, was hungry, so decided to try the food. It was outstanding, and the friendly atmosphere really made it good. Quantity as well as quality was good...........so try the food and beverages.
We then went to play the course. Greens are smaller than a "postage stamp". Course is made difficult by the greens, speed, et. They are not unplayable, but you had better watch what you are doing, when you approach any green.
I highly recommend this course, the food, friendly people, just everything.

Wonderful experience

From the time you check in, until you complete the round, you will not find a better facility. Personnel, from the Pro to the staff, are all friendly, helpful, and just make the start of the round a pleasure.

The front is tighter, demanding accuracy, where the back is more open, but plays long.

I would highly recommend this course to anyone in the area.

Wonderful and getting better

Rainy conditions prevailed, but no rain while I played. Staff was very friendly, and bag boy was likewise. This course is in tremendous shape, and has improved every time I have played it. I highly recommend this course. It is truly one of the better courses in the Disney area.

2 dollars gave me a bad taste

Course was outstanding. Staff was very friendly , starter was a great personality. Entire operation was great, although it was too wet for carts, I enjoyed my round.

HOWEVER, when I checked in, I had to pay an additional 2 dollars for environmental?????????????I have no idea. Told them I had prepaid via Golfnow, to no avail. This 2 dollars created a very poor taste in my mouth.

Great course

I had played Darkhorse, in the area, and was told also to try this course. I am from Ky, and was here for the Senior Open. Both courses are outstanding, but different.
Ridge is a great layout, and was in extremely good condition, considering the drought in the area.

Great challenge

I was in the area for the Senior Open. I am from Ky, and have played a lot of courses. This one was one of the best I have played. When I walked in, I immediately felt at home, then went to the starter, and he was very helpful, et
Course is a great challenge, especially if you play too far back, as I did. It has everything, and I think you will hit every club in your bag.
Just an outstanding staff and course.

Need a Ranger

I arrived a few min early for my tee time. Staff was cordial, but told me I would have to wait til my tee time. I went to the putting green and noticed a single teeing it up. I asked if he would like to play, and he said he preferred alone. After he arrived at the green on one, I started. The single did not hold me up; however 2 groups in front of him did hold everyone up. After playing 9 in what seemed like forever, I went to 10. Single had gone thru, but the group of 4 in front o me, looked my way, but never allowed me to go on. I went to the front desk and asked if could play the front again, as there was no one on the course (front). They were very nice and told me to go ahead. Course is in decent shape, but in great need o f a ranger to speed things up, pair people up, etc.

Great course coming back

This old Donald Ross gem is definitely on the way back. From the staff to the course, it is quality all the way. Course plays long , with many holes playing up hill. Par 3's are really tough. Just a tremendous course found on Golfnow. It is one of the best in this area, and I suggest you also try the 19th hole and their specials.

One of Florida's best

Everything about this course is A+++++

I have played the course several times, and I enjoy it more everytime I play the course. 17th is still a very difficult hole because of the second and third shot. Also, many of the holes play up hill This is a very old course that still is a test for every level of golfer.

ONE OF THE BEST

It started great when I telephoned the course to check conditions, prior to booking. Mike in the Pro Shop was great from the beginning, and just as nice when I arrived. The course was in awesome condition, and was one of the best I have played this year, and I have played numerous. I would recommend this course to anyone that enjoys the game.

Pleasantly surprised

Due to the recent rain, front nine was cart path only. However, I enjoyed the course in every way. I think Mike in the Pro Shop made the course even better. He went out of his way to make me feel comfortable and enjoy my visit to Oklahoma and playing a course. Due to the fact that I was a single, I caught up with others, but they kindly allowed me to play thru. Mike provided a better way to get back to my motel in Edmond, than the way Mapquest got me to the course. All in all, it was great round of golf, and I would highly recommend the course to all, and even better with the price I paid via Golfnow.

Great value

I had not played this course in several years. I wish that it was closer to my home. It is a very challenging venue, and the new greens are really nice. Chris, in the Pro Shop, is truly a Pro.....just a very nice, pleasant individual that made the trip to Murray even better. If you wish fro a challenge, play the back tees, when it is a little wet, like it was yesterday. I highly recommend this course, especially vial Golfnow.

Could be better

In general, the course was okay. I think it plays tough, and maybe I played too far back. My concern was the greens. They were lumpy, had a lot of foreign grass in the bent, and bounced on every putt. They need to be rolled to smooth them out.

Also, staff never told us the back had been punched. That was not the problem, the foreign grasses and lumpy was the problem. Sand traps had not been raked.
On a positive, our GPS would not work, and the front desk immediately sent someone out that was very pleasant, and wound up giving us his cart, as he could not get it to work either.

All in all, a great course, that needs more maintenance. I would recommend the course, but not at their rack rates. It is a 25 course, at present.

We played on a hot deal, and was pleasantly surprised. Staff, course, just everything was wonderful. I will come back and play this course, again, when I am in the area.

One of the better tracks, I have played (for this time of year).

One of the best

Staff. rangers are all extremely nice, helpful. Course has typical Winter fairways , due to our harsh Winter, but greens are excellent, tee boxes in good condition, and course will really be great in less than a month. I highly recommend the course.
