River Ridge Golf Club

Used to be a member here so am pretty experienced. Several years ago it was the best value public course in the Raleigh area. It's got a fun layout and used to be pretty well maintained. About two years ago it came under new management. Since then they've raised prices significantly and lowered the course conditions. Greens are usually pretty good, but at no point do they bother to manage the bunkers. They are washed out with no sand. They removed ball washer and any water from the course during covid and never bothered to bring them back. People need water in a summer round in NC. You can get water at the clubhouse obviously but it's slow and sometimes you run out of water during 9 when its 95 degrees. This is still a fun course but it's $75 on the weekends and even like $60 after 3PM and it's just not worth that.

Great layout and easy course!!
You will not regret playing this course

Slow play due to 4some ahead of us and was 2 holes behind. No range to speed up play.

Second time playing this course in a week. Played a different set of tees which changed several holes significantly, but most were only 1 club difference. 10/10 recommend

Challenging course that makes you think. I literally hit every club in my bag during the round. Greens were 4/5. Great practice area as well. Staff was accommodating and friendly. Will def go back

First time at this course and very impressed. Greens are excellent & true! Some out of bounds areas needed to be cleaned up a bit but on course was exceptional.

I reserved a tee time a week in advance and took a day off solely to golf. I 45 minutes arrived early, checked in, asked who I would be playing with, and kept my eyes open for a group of 3 (or a solo player) who I would be paired with. When it became time to head out, I checked with the starter and was told a group of 4 went out at my reserved time and that I could not join them. It was a beautiful day so the course was busy and the starter was unable to fit me into any other groups. After 15 minutes of trying to find an alternate group, I ended up going home without golfing.

I tried to email member services but after more than a week, I have not heard back. Beyond disappointed with my experience and will unlikely return in the future.

Friendly staff and great practice facilities. Course layout was nice. Fairways need a bit more grass but greens rolled nice

This was my second time playing River Ridge. Both in the past couple weeks. I rated the course highly after my first tee time but had the one criticism of pace of play. Wednesday’s round was amazing. Same great track with great pace. Finished the round a bit shy of 4 hours. Staff is always great, Range has adequate space, course is a very good balance of distance and attack angles. Will be back, and soon.

River ridge is one of the best kept golf courses in the triangle. Friendly staff, bucket of balls included with tee time, gps carts, good pace of play etc. always enjoying playing here!
