Course appears to lack a regular water schedule. A lot of dried out areas in the fairways. Could be a tough winter at the Ridge if we don't get some rain.

Good round slowed by tournament play. Staff did a good job trying to speed up play.

Course is in great shape. Early morning rounds before wind picks up is best bet.

Before I post this complaint I want to be fair to River Ridge because up until today I have had nothing but wonderful experiences playing there. So here goes…today I got the afternoon off which is a rarity for me. I wanted to play River Ridge this weekend but they had the Oxnard City Championship so I couldn’t. I know from having played in the Oxnard City in past years that River Ridge always has the course in tip-top shape for it which is why I decided to head up this afternoon. Anyway, I know Greenskeeper.org does a good job at posting maintenance but I called in advance just to be safe. I ask the person who answers phone “Are you guys doing ANY maintenance today?” the guy says “NOT that I’m aware of.” Great, I hang up and drive up there. When I get there the first thing the guy tells me is I will be teeing off number 10 because they are leaching the back nine greens this afternoon. I’m thinking, what the….I just called them and they said they weren’t doing any maintenance. Being that I like the back nine better I had no problem playing it first. The problem was at the turn. After we finish putting on 18, I look up and see 4 groups waiting on the 1st tee. 4 groups at 5:30 on a Tuesday! I go to the starter shack and tell him we are making the turn and he tells me that it will be at least 20 minutes before we can tee off! I’m thinking shouldn’t we have priority and why would they be packing them in knowing darn right that there are groups making the turn? Also why didn’t they tell me and the rest of our group that this is what we could expect after playing the first nine? Had I been told, I would of headed over to Olivas Park or somewhere else nearby where I would have been able to play 18. Well, I left after 9 and something tells me the course got greedy today at the expense of pissing some twilight golfers off. If anyone from River Ridge is reading this, I love your course but how about some honesty on the phone and in person?

Course in good condition today 6/11. Fairways hard and offered lots of roll yet lush enough to get under the ball.

Played here 5/29 and was very satisfied. Overall the course was in good shape. The greens were in very good condition. This course is open enough for inaccurate hitters but poses its share of challenges. I would recommend the somewhat long drive from LA.
