River Ridge Golf Club

We were lucky enough to enjoy both courses, but I was still embarrassed that the wrong sign on the 17th hole of the Vineyard course was not corrected. It's so funny and ridiculous. The fairway and hole green management status was simple, but it is understandable compared to the low price. It was a beautiful course, but it is a pity to manage it.

Honestly, this course deserves a lower rating than 4 stars. It would rate close to 2 stars if you go just based on how terrible the course is maintained. Vineyard course: On all holes with the exception of hole 13, there are NO ALIVE/GREEN GRASS IN THE FAIRWAYS. That being said, the fairways are flat and easy to hit from despite this shortfall. The upside is that your shots go further because the fairways are dry, so EGO BOOST!! ? :) The tee boxes… with the exception of the last holes and a couple others on the course, they all use DEAD grass. They don’t bother to use actual tee markers - they are PAINTED ROCKS. The rocks don’t bother me as much - I think it’s pretty inventive. Additionally, from blue tees some tee boxes are in very inconvenient places, but it is not a problem if you’re playing whites. Also, did I mention that the signs that show the hole numbers are sometimes wrong? This isn’t a big deal as it doesn’t make you get lost. The bunkers I played in were actually in good shape, so not complaints there. REAL SAND!!! :) Now, the only part about this course that was in decent condition were the putting greens and fringe. It is the ONLY part of the course consistently watered so that it is GREEN. However, greens are pretty slow… Theoretically, if you were playing from 25 yards, you would be playing the only part of the course properly maintained… Now, the reason why I rate this place 4 stars is because the staff is EXTREMELY FRIENDLY. The starter who was working Sunday 7/28 was extremely helpful in giving us a warning that the gates would be closing close to the time sun sets and kept the pace of play decent. The person in pro shop was also nice. So, Staff is 5/5. Also, the last hole is an ISLAND GREEN!! Really cool and rare for a public golf course! Overall it’s a tough course because of wind as well, affects your shots a lot. I also like the layout too - challenging. Also, it’s cooler here in the summer. If the grass were in better condition, this course would be one of the better public courses in the area.

This golf course is pretty bad. If the average golf course I play is a 7/10, this is probably somewhere near 2 😂 The range is nice. Decent balls and good mats. There is plenty of space on the range, although there aren’t any markers and where you hit into looks kinda sketchy 🫤 The course itself, in the most simple way, is absolutely TERRIBLE. The employees are very friendly, but that’s about it 😂😂 If you go on google maps and zoom into a random patch of grass in the middle of texas, the fairways are a pretty accurate representation of that. I can tell that this course used to be very well kept and beautiful, but it seems that they are neglecting to water ANY PART OF THE WHOLE PLACE up until the greens and fringe. It is pretty windy as well. Greens are okay, on the slower side with some bumpy/wierd moldy blue patches??? Honestly have no idea what’s happening here 😭 If they step up the maintenance on the course, it would easily be 5 stars. But right now, the only thing making the slope 130 is the playing conditions 😂
