Played 12-15-20 first out in the fog as a walking single, finishing in about 2 hours and 20 minutes. Most of the course is dormant, the only green you are going to see is on the greens and in the bus... Continue »

I had a little bit of an opening (finished with 2 minutes to spare) in my schedule so I decided to squeeze in a round at Ridge Creek. Check in was super quick with the friendly staff member in the p... Continue »

Walked 27 holes Saturday 10/24/20 with my buddy RGM2525. Weather was postcard 70 degrees hardly any wind with partly cloudy skies. Our Pop was 4 hrs 30 minutes waiting on the many groups ahead of us. We were joined by a real nice father/ son. We walked the extra 9 holes in 1 hour 20 minutes just bombing and gouge before darkness. My first time here and I loved the layout. Have heard many nice things about this links layout and how I would enjoy some similarity to my home course Rustic Canyon. Layout had a couple shorter par 3 feel shots in number 3 and 16 and some stronger par 3s as well. Holes 2, 6 and 18 were also strong holes. There was for sure some birdie opportunities as well if you could keep your tee shot in the fairways and out of trouble. Speaking of the fairways many provided ample room and were semi lush with just enough padding but could also produce some major runout which was awesome on well struck drives, The course does a great job in my mind at current time of keeping the fairways at a true links length/lushness. Fairway rating 7.5/10. The greens were a pleasure to putt on and would describe them as super soft!. Felt bad when we would try to fix ballmarks it was tough to get the super soft greens back into perfect condition. The greens rolled super smooth despite the many old ballmarks that one could see. Many greens were huge and had some undulations to them. Loved playing these greens. Rated 8/10. There was say a 5 to 7 yd area of fairway rough just off the fairways that was maintained nicely. If you got outside this area of rough you were in bushes or native rough that was a lost ball for sure. Even though it was penal I felt the course gave you enough room in the fairways to bomb away and its up to you to keep it in play. One of the few courses though if your just off the fairway your adding a stroke for sure. Rough rating 7.5/10. Man there were a ton of bunkers on this layout! I was in 2 fairway bunkers and 4 greenside bunkers that contained wetter firmer sand that was mostly raked. Would say just enough sand at current time but if the course did any improvements it would be to possible add just a touch more sand to the greenside bunkers. Rated 6.5/10. Tees were mostly level, lush and in good shape. Speaking of the tees they have many options out here. I like the black tees at almost 7000 yds. They have blues at 6500 and was shaking my head at some of the silver tee placements at 7500. Tee rating 8/10. Overall impression was this was a top 15 course for me. Its way underrated on the scorecard due to his length and its native areas just off the cart paths. If it wasn't 3 hrs away I would be here weekly! Highy recommended!

Quick update from today, July 6th.

Greens that were punched a few weeks ago show little to no noticeable holes. They did the smaller holes as it is. But still ball marks on some of the greens that... Continue »

Catching up on this review from Wednesday 6/10. Good times out at Ridge Creek Dinuba with rgm2525, CenCalGolfer33 and Deepsea14. It’s a great location for a meet-in-the-middle for SoCal and NorCal golfers. It’s also a great course that has yet to ever disappoint me. Personally I think it’s vastly underrated as far as rating and slope, this golf course has some serous teeth. Fairways are generous for the most part but miss them and almost always pay a steep price in deep rough, hazard or a nasty bunker. Greens are large but no push over. And if the wind kicks up this already long golf course, 7482 from the tips, will have you for lunch.

We teed off at 11:30 and finished in just over 4 hours with no waiting. Greens in great shape, holding shots but a touch slower than times I’ve played them in past. Their COVID-19 precautions pins were the only negative as they hardly let the ball drop so you need to agree upon prior to the round with your group what a good or not good putt is just in case. Fairways played fantastic. Last year the fairways were more lush and green but were also soft. Aesthetically they looked better then but they play much better this time allowing release on golf shots you would expect from the links style course. Plus the lies were great all day. Love fairways like this. Rough was beastly if you found the second cut. Hit and miss, well mostly miss, at finding your ball. The first cut was about an inch above the fairways and easy to hit from. Greenside rough varied in length and let me give you a word of advice, take an unplayable drop if you are in it wherever you are on the golf course. I took an 8 on hole 4 because it took me 4 lob wedge hack shots to escape it. Tee boxes in good shape but a little dry. Bunkers, COVID-19 conditions with no rakes and I believe they allow you take a free drop from them. Sand is old, hard and compressed. My guess is this has a lot to do with COVID-19. Personally I think they should fill in some of the bunkers in that need extreme work. Would be a cool look on some of the holes.

Amenities at Ridge Creek Dinuba as well as service are excellent. It’s a must that you experience the massive decked out practice facilities when visiting and enjoy the food from Jack’s restaurant if you have time. They are doing take out for golfers making the turn or you can now dine in on the patio social distanced. Bummer I did not have time after the round to grab a bite there as I normally do.

Check out the photos I posted. We might be doing an outing there in November.

They punch the greens 6/22 & 6/23 so try to get up there before that but if you don’t once the greens heal the golf course will be in excellent shape in July. Highly Recommended.
