Located in the mostly industrial section of the west Salt Lake City Valley, The Ridge is an interesting golf course. I don't know the complete history, but I understand that it used to be a nice little 9 hole course, and they expanded it to 18. The design is ok, a little confusing in the layout and you need to pay attention to the signs that direct you to the next tee and green.

The area where is the golf course is located is not the most scenic, that's to be sure! Littered generously with industrial complexes and high tension wires, as long as you don't look outside of the grounds, it's a very nice-looking course. Very few trees and plain vanilla hole designs, but a very very enjoyable place to play a round of golf! This seems to be a course where a good golfer could easily break par. My game sucks, so I was happy to break 90.

Overall the fairways are fairly lush, a little thin in spots, nothing I would call hardpan, but some tight lies, to be sure! 90% of the greens are very nice and very fast, watch out on the downhill putts, you can end up ten feet below the hole just by getting the ball rolling!

The rough is not very long at all, I had some great lies just off the fairway. No complaints there! The clubhouse is nothing to write home about, but the staff is super friendly and I will definitely make this part of my rotation! There are better golf courses in Salt Lake City, but if you need a tune up for your game, you cannot go wrong here!
