Its masterful design and gorgeous views will have you adding this course to your short list of favorites.. In Short
River Ridge's 18 holes are set around beautiful scenery that includes tranquil ponds, babbling streams and a mixture of pine and hardwood trees. Take the time to enjoy the incredible views from the tee boxes. With four sets of tees ranging from 6,740 yards to 5,173 yards, River Ridge's length is more than a worthy test for the long hitter. The greens are meticulously maintained and roll fast and true.

This course is a real gem!. One of the greatest values for our golf dollar. The greens will get you and the challenging layout offers a very true test of your golfing ability. Water comes into play more than a dozen times over the length of the course. Greens at their best are fast with very few flat lies.

No Micky Mouse holes at River Ridge. A must on every golfer's list. They even serve beer finally.

Best Kept Secret in the Triangle. Superb layout with undulating greens and rolling fairways. Very challenging for all levels of play. The greens are always in great shape, and they roll true and fast. The practice facility is one of the best in the area. An exceptional value for the money.

Fabulous. River Ridge is a great test of golf. The course offers a wonderful test in target golf. RR will test your mental game more than your golf game. The undulating fairways/greens provide an accurate gauge to your ability. A few of the holes offer the "grip it and rip it" opportunity that so many golfers seek. Maintain patience and you will be rewarded. Consider joining the course. The practice facility is very nice.

Best Track in Town. Day to day, the best track and best value for your money. While other courses in the area go into "winter maintenance" mode, RR is always a pleasure to play. It may have the three best finishing holes in the area. 16... a long par four which requires a fade off the tee and an accurate mid-iron over water. 17 is a heartbreak par three where you simply can't miss the green. 18 is a great gambling par 5... Short, uphill, with a second shot over water. This is a better course and a much better value than Duke.

Scenic well-kept track. Very challenging but fair course, as good as Neuse and the Challenge, a little better than the Crossings, Riverwood, and Falls Village. More than a few extremely memorable holes.
