Yes and No

This course has been bought and sold a few times. The condition has come and gone many times also. This course has prime location but the course doesn't warrant the giant price tag they want to play here. If you don't book a hot deal stay away. The course is in decent condition but is worth about 35 weekend and 30 during week. The carts have a VERY ANNOYING gps to keep u from driving in certain areas for what reason i don't know. Still the same old Oliver's Landing, Ole Still but with a Rock Barn price. The way to make this course go is to charge a reasonable rate, have cheap beer specials and fix ur own cheap hotdogs with a Lance Rack for snacks. Maybe pizza ordered ahead for the turn. Cart person on weekends to sell the concessions. It would be packed. You can't polish a terd.

Best value in Hickory, excellent condition.

The course is in very good shape and greens are best I've seen in years. They opened it up more by a major tree reduction last year and sand traps are coming along. Course drains incredibly well after any rain.

Awesome course and staff

This is one of my favorite courses to play. Course layout is challenging for the seasoned golfer while being very playable for the beginner. The pro shop is very well stocked for those last minute items and has an excellent choice of swag, you gotta check out their golf shirts. The staff is one of the best parts of the course. Always friendly and willing to help you in any way. I give Players Ridge 5 stars. Check them out you won't be disappointed.

First Time Playing

Goonie golf

Mountain course that has plenty of blind shots, not much fun for first time. Some greens need some major tlc.

Tight course

Fairways in good shape but narrow. Roughs were long and dense. Fairways generally lined both sides by trees. Sand traps hard packed. Greens in good shape, held the approach shot, putted true, were medium to slow speed. All greens have comeback in the last three months, with one green needing a little more time to completely regain all its grass.
