I played Ridge Creek twice this week. Conditions remain constant. Greens rolled smooth at a medium-fast pace the other day and a bit faster today. Ridge Creek always maintains their greens so they hold well struck approach shots. Usually, the trade off is a number of unrepaired pitch marks. I’ve noticed the last few times out that it’s getting much better and only a couple of pitch marks throughout the course to be found.

Fairways are dormant (brown) but very playable. One of the big areas of improvement are the rims of the bunkers (both greenside and fairway). Whereas before this area was severely overgrown and thick (18” tall) with grass, it’s now cut down so there’s no chance of losing a ball.

As for the bunkers themselves…. Well, they still need some actual sand. Tee boxes are ok and POP wasn’t an issue either day. Customer service is great. I walked both days, but they are offering single rider carts. Unknown if there’s a premium upcharge for single riders. The range is pretty beat up right now. It was extremely difficult to find a decent hitting surface.

The restaurant is closed for indoor and outdoor dining as even the patio is roped off. In fact, it’s a bit of a pain to just get to the restroom. The do offer a snack shop through a side window.

With a great score the first day and a pathetic score today, I’m eager to get back out and have an “average” score.
