Course and weather were great , but the greens were punched . It’s that time of the year . So in a few weeks it’ll be perfect
Fun day in the sun !
Very scenic course with lots of ball attracting water!
Poor customer service and even morw poor course conditions
After trying to hit a bucket of balls 3 times here in the past week ( they choose to close the range early die to a lack of staff) we finally hit half a bucket before our 12:45 tee time. The poor customer service was not as disappointing as the condition of the Vineyard course. The rough was extremely patchy with bare dry dort mixed with excessively high patched of clover. The fairways were fine but the greens were inexplicably hard. 5 times my lofted wedge shot bounced over 6 ft high and eventually rolled off the back of the greens. After finishing the 15th hole we were proceeding to the 16th tee but the hole marker was for the 12th hole. We srove around looking for the 16th tee box. After 10 minutes we found another golfer and asked if we had made a mistake. He replied” oh they changed that hole a year or two ago but not sure why they didn'tbotwr to change the hole marker. When we finally tesumed our play on the 16th hole we were now having to wait behind rwo othwr groups. So is it expecting too much for the course superintendent to put a temporary sign on tjis hole. Every golfer that plays here osnt a local pr have played tbis courae 100 tomes and knows what to expect. Just lazy courae management and laxy employees who could care less about the paying customer. Its sad because this course has a very picturesque course with beautiful hole deaign and large undulated greens.
Punched greens
Was unaware of the sanded and punched greens. Would be nice for a heads up. The staff was great .they moved us to the vineyard course which hadn't been punched. The problem was we were not the only ones. We said we would play the lakes even though the greens were sanded. It turned out great ! 3hours 10 minutes. Automatic 2 putt and still lost 3 balls. Great practice round. Thanks!!
Grand Day Out
Home course in Ojai closed for punching. Four of us played away at River Ridge, Vineyards Course, riders/walkers both. Tee'd off right on time, pace of play excellent.-never waited or pushed. Tee to green in good condition, considering recent ++rains. Greens fast, but fair. I am short, played gold tees, and had fun, hit share of greens in regulation. Only a couple of long green to tee hikes. Co-player commented on views: Actually attractive sight of coastal mountains from generally elevated course. 19th hole with fast service, good tap variety, great burger, in cafeteria setting.
Sand Traps are horribly maintained and they are very behind in their mowing of all areas
Challenge
Good course has some challenging holes , the layout is good ,good mix of long and short holes. But the ruff is to deep, hard to find your ball if you get in it..
Great facility
The course is great value for the LA area. The holes are interesting and a nice mix of harder and easier holes.
The bathrooms mid course are not equipped for women , it is a porta potty , not very convenient of you are on your period!
Secondly the 17 th hole is mislabeled as the 13 th hole and we were not informed about this , at least there should be a post or sticker mentioning this , we went around a bit confused until a group in front of us told us about the flub😏
Ridiculous pace of play.
We started 25 minutes late and took 5 hours and 30 minutes to finish. It’s absolutely insane that we called the Pro shop to get a Marshall on the course to help with pace of play but nothing happened. He stood at the turn and acted like a Walmart greeter while the group two holes ahead of us fell behind 3 holes while creating a backup that included 5 total groups. One of the most disappointing rounds I’ve ever played. The course is in great condition but when you’re waiting 15 minutes every shot, what is the point in playing?
RR
Long course, fast greens. Beware of wind.
golf
little rough in places and sand traps were terrible. greens were nice but around some greens like hitting of dirt
Course was in terrible shape
I went here knowing they don't take the best care of either course and was still surprised at how bad it was. I played this same course a few months ago and while it wasn't in great shape it was much better than it was now.
It looked like they painted the fairways and the fairways were rock hard. It was like dirt with a little layer of grass in most spots
Also the guy we had to check in with was just rude and unhelpful. He kept somewhat pausing a phone call, would tell me to talk, then would start talking on the phone again and make me repeat myself later. There's a younger guy that works the pro shop that is the only helpful person I've had there before. He's incredibly friendly and helpful. The older guy working was just rude, short, and anything but helpful. We'd ask questions and he'd not address them and say things in a condescending tone each time.I've been golfing most of my life and have played at this properly a lot so the questions I was asking were fairly reasonable as well
Just a bad experience. I'm cancelling my slots for 4 here this weekend because of the conditions but the front desk is another big factor pushing me to other areas
Lakes - In good winter condition
Everything is relative when reviewing River Ridge. It's never in as good condition as its neighbors across the river in Ventura, but it can be a bargain, and the layouts of both courses are interesting and challenging. Right now as of the new year, the greens are bumpy but pretty good and reasonably fast. The fairways are ok. They've done some reseeding of them over the last year and they are coming in pretty well. The sandtraps need the word sand removed as there is no sand in many of them and the recent rains have washed them out. The storm was particularly heavy in Oxnard and the skeleton maintenance staff at RR hasn't gotten around to fixing things yet. But all in all, with the cheap rate I paid, I was happy. Beautiful views from the top of the former landfill.
A couple of wet holes
The staff should really mark which holes are cart path only instead of a blanket cart path only rule. Most of the holes were dry enough for a cart, (maybe 2-3 were wet) that just seems like taking the easy way out. If they want to do a blanket rule maybe lower the price of the cart
