They don't have the common courtesy to let you know on there website or when booking a round online to let you know that they're doing course maintenance. Played yesterday and the greens had been plugged and sanded very recently so it was useless trying to putt on them. This was not a one time thing, last fall I played there and they had half the course shut down for aerification with no mention of it when booking the round.
I fully understand that this type maintenance is required to keep the course in the great shape that it's usually in, but they should make the customer aware of this BEFORE they decide to play there and pay full price for playing half of a golf course.

I really love this golf course but I wish they would improve their practice facilities. They really need more targets on their driving range and a dedicated chipping/ pitching range. They should also embrace more technology. An indoor/outdoor building for lessons with all the latest gadgets would really be helpful to somebody wanting to improve their game.
I also wish they would reverse the order of holes (Start at 9) sometimes in the winter so the people that can only play in the afternoon could actually see the back nine. Will definitely give them five stars when they improve their practice facilities. Also, they should convert the property across the street to a par 3 9 hole course. One more thing, they shouldn't allow groups to walk the course on weekends when they are busy.
Really slows play down. And closing the range at 2 pm on a Sunday is ridiculous. You can still get nine holes in in the winter if you tee off at 2:30 or three. Small bucket makes a big difference.

We had scheduled our wedding two years prior at a different venue and had to reschedule because of Covid in 2020. Fast forward to this year when our wedding date was 08/21/21, and had the Caldor fire heading right toward our fully outdoor garden wedding venue in Camino, Ca. We ended up not being able to get insurance per our contract at our old venue due to the fires.
My friends, photographer, DJ, and coordinator started calling around when my maid of honor initially contacted The Ridge. They had a last minute cancellation due to a covid situation with the wedding that was supposed to take place on our same day. Due to the last minute cancellation we were able to have our wedding there and keep our same wedding date.
They offered to help us 3 DAYS BEFORE our wedding! Sandra, Jen, and all the staff at the ridge really pulled through for us and we will never be able to thank them enough! Additionally they had a large bridal and separate groom suite for us and our families to get ready in! Our special day came out better than we had ever expected and our guests loved the venue!
We received so many compliments on how classy and sophisticated the wedding turned out and everyone was shocked that they pulled it off in 3 days. I think my new husband and I are still in shock on how well it turned out! Even better, now we will be able to always visit the venue, play golf and eat & drink on our anniversaries! Cheers and hats off to the amazing team at The Ridge!

3 star for the course Its a nice layout. But the pace is always hell. Theres never a marshall in sight to move along the hacks that decide the ridge would be a good place to ruin some fairways/greens. Seriously, if you cant hit a ball, quit after your sixth shot. Quit taking 9 practice swing to hit it another 30 yards, be ready when its your turn, and dont step in peoples lines on the green.
Basically use some common sense and get your head out your ass (even if only one person takes heed to this advice, this post has been a success in my )The pro shop seems to never be on top of getting people off the first tee. Rarely a cart girl Range balls are terribleSad because i love playing this place, but nowadays i just drive another 10 min and play Darkhorse Lol only 1-2 guys working at Darkhorse but always seems to be a smoother ride

We hosted a Celebration of Life for my brother in their ballroom and it was perfect. Jen and the rest of the staff went above and beyond to ensure that the day went off without a hitch. They helped with all the details of planning and the execution was flawless. The day of the event, there were more than enough staff to help with last minute preparations and everyone was cheerful, friendly, helpful and accommodating.
We had passed appetizers and everyone raved about them. Afterwards we had a sit down meal in the bar area and that was delicious too. From the facilities, to the staff to Jen who helped us with the planning, everything was top notch. I definitely recommend this event center.

I would argue this is the best golf course in the greater Sacramento Valley. The greens are impeccable and fast. Very well maintained and watered. The fairways and tee boxes get treated daily so you do not experience dry or divot filled shots. Each sand bunker (and I found most of them) has plenty of sand, no weed growth or drainage problems, and is raked daily.
The layout is very diverse with plenty of elevation, water holes, and dogleg turns. I play the blue tees and I will tell you that It's a challenge for any level of player. Fees are reasonable, and the staff is friendly. Highly recommend this course for any golfer.

Attended a baby shower event here about a week ago. Less than 24 hours after eating their food, I was in the emergency room with food poisoning. I ended up having to miss multiple days of work because I was so sick. After tests done by my doctor, turns out it was E. Coli. Multiple other people who attended the baby shower were also sick. After reading another review on Yelp, it looks like numerous other people became ill from the food as well that attended a totally separate event. Not acceptable from a place that I am sure charges their customers a lot of money.

So disappointed. Went to the Ridge for a formal school event. We had the option of chicken or steak and I, not a huge fan of red meat, went with the chicken. I've had bad experiences with contaminated food in the past before so when I took my first bite of chicken and it seemed to be on the rare side, I stopped eating it immediately. My friend and I went home and she complained about a stomach ache all night but we didn't think too much of it.
But the next night when I was vomiting with food poisoning it all made sense. At least 20 students, as well as myself, at my school are home with food poisoning and are continuing to leave throughout the day. Completely unacceptable.

What a gorgeous golf course. Well maintained and typically sporting a fair setup. Too bad this was spoiled by what has become the bane of golf. That is, s l o w play. Sunday, 10/20 our two foursomes were behind a five-some of very very old men. Not all elderly people play slowly. This five-some not only played slowly (starting on the 11th hole we waited fifteen minutes just to tee off behind them while they had three to four holes clear ahead of them), they parked their golf carts within a couple of feet of the greens.
I did not see a handicap flag. After the round, one of our guys approached the staff and asked why there were no marshals. As expected he was told they monitor the course using cameras/GPS etc. When asked why they didn't do something about the five-some backing up maybe ten other groups, they said they had approached the group two or three times and told them to speed things up. Obviously, they were ignored.
My thinking is, if your pace of play policy has no teeth, let people know. That way we can decide if we want to spend 5+ hours waiting on every hole with no hope of moving forward. There are ways to handle slow groups. Why those weren't used is beyond me.

Beautiful golf course with views that are so refreshing. The Ridge has a great friendly staff, nice bar and restaurant. This is a nice place to golf and get out of the valley. This would be a wonderful venue for a wedding or special event. They have two rooms, one holds 60 and the other is for larger groups. The golf store was very organized and fairly priced for your golfing needs. Get Out of the valley and head to the hills to do some golfing.

To the gentleman that lost his $250 laser in his golf cart, I respectfully disagree with you. I had the opposite experience. I left my wallet (with I.D., credit cards and several Ben Franklins) in a stall in the ladies room, but realized that I made this blunder after 9 holes and 2 hours later. MY OVERSIGHT for being so negligent. I wanted to treat my group to lunch at the turn, but couldn't find my wallet.
My emotions were overcome with PANIC. I ran upstairs to the pro shop and asked if anybody found a wallet. The gentleman at the desk pointed to the office. Just at that moment a woman said she just found it. My appreciation and gratitude to Shannon (who is a staff member at the Grill Restaurant) for being so honest. SHANNON, YOU ROCK! Hats off to Sam too!
He is the friendly staff member that graciously greets you when you arrive the Ridge. He is here, there and everywhere on the course. Like he says, "he's the Jack of all trade". Last, but not least, Mother Nature at it's best at the Ridge. What a gem of a golf course. Thank you.

This was one expensive mistake! I am posting this review on behalf of my whole family who went yesterday to the Ridge for Easter brunch. We are always happy customers but not this time. For $35/Head we got cold eggs Benedict with un-toasted muffins. A cheesy dollar tree table center piece. A flimsy menu displaying all the drinks we could purchase for extra.
For $35/each we expected at least bottomless mimosas and warm food. It was such a messy dining room with an array of random foods that did not compliment each other. The servers were kind, but the atmosphere and food was that of a cheap cafeteria hall that one could spend $15 on, not $35! Very high price for a very poor, cold, tasteless, ugly delivery. I do not recommend this brunch venue for anyone who would like an enjoyable meal in a pleasant atmosphere.

This is the most gorgeous course I have played! It has big fairways, lots of trees, lots of hazard area, and a few water hazards. I love the challenge. The course is very hilly and I recommend that you rent a cart. All of the staff are very friendly, and the buildings are beautiful too! I can't wait to get back here.

We are actually getting married here this weekend so the wife-to-be and I decided to come and play the course before our wedding. I told her I was going to play the day of the wedding so I think this was her way of getting me to not do that. This was my first time playing at this course. I thoroughly enjoyed it. The course is in great shape and superbly maintained.
I love how they incorporated nature (animals) into the course. The biggest draw backs is rattlesnakes and there's only one restroom out on the course. That still doesn't deter me from giving them 5 stars. Staff is super friendly and the food and drinks are great. I am looking forward to our wedding here and also coming back to play golf again. An update to my review.
We finally had our wedding here and needless to say it was spectacular. Our wedding coordinator (Liz) was exceptional. From the moment we met with her to do the tasting to the wedding day itself Liz made sure it was a day we would never forget. She even allowed my new mother-in-law to come in and use their refrigerator to store our wedding cake. My wife showed up at 1130 and her bridal suite was ready for her with complimentary champagne.
It was a HUGE room with a nice view of the course. Liz made sure she had ample of whatever she needed to make her big day go off without a hitch. I didn't show up until 2:30pm along with my groomsmen. Our suite, although smaller, was quite sufficient for our needs. We received a complimentary pitcher of beer and needless to say we did the guy thing and ordered two more.
The course itself is stunning but the wedding venue that was set up for us was even more spectacular. Everyone was blown away. The area is well shaded and the walk ways were blocked off so no one golfing can interrupt. We were made to feel like people of importance. Liz helped to keep us on schedule so we can make it back to have dinner and begin the celebration.
I wish I can give her a raise for such an awesome job well done! I wish I can Yelp 10 stars for The Ridge! I can't wait to go back and play. A tip to anyone thinking of using this venue for their wedding be like Nike and. Just Do It! Also make sure you get the Halibut as one of your entrees. It is over the top delicious.

My wedding reception was fabulous. Venue was beautiful, they were super accommodating and the food - people are STILL telling me how great it was. We serve played meals, chose Halibut and New York Steak. Tasted even better than our initial tastings before the wedding. They kept asking me if I was happy, anything they could do, did we need anything? Super service, and the room was divine. Perfect reception - I felt like a princess. Coordinator Liz is the best in the business.
