Rode the whites with my student this afternoon 5/1/21 for a 18 hole playing lesson teeing off at 1:50pm. Thx to Susan and the professional and friendly RR staff as always . Our Pop was 4 hrs 30 minutes which is not to bad for a Saturday. Weather was breezy for the first hour or so and then the wind stopped and it turned into one of the nicer Oxnard days I have seen. Perfect golf weather. To be fair the course has gone downhill condition wise since AG took over but the course is still very playable and has a fun layout. The greens were on the slower side and were a little bumpy but not to bad. They held irons like absolute darts. Rated 6/10. The fairways were a mix of more thin grass than lush grass. I will say holes 14 through 18 the fairway grass and tees were lusher than the first 13 holes. Rated 6/10. The rough was thin, wispy and mostly dry. Rated 5/10. Was in two greenside bunkers on 6 and 7 that contained a nice sand base and all bunkers had rakes which were awesome. Rated 6.5/10. Tees were mostly level and semi lush and in decent shape. Rated 6.5/10. Despite the course being dry an enjoyable day where both my student and I played very well. Hopefully they can get some more water on the fairways and possibly roll and maintain the greens slightly better. River Ridge like most VC courses has a soft spot in my heart as I played it a bunch growing up.
