Ridgeview Ranch
Ridgeview Ranch is a Jeff Brauer design that opened in 1996. It’s
friendly to the average golfer because there are rarely forced carries
of water or sand to reach the large greens, making short approaches good
candidates for easy ups and downs.The design rolls through hills and trees, incorporating two creeks
that come into play. The fairways are average-sized and flat, although
there are a few surprising elevation changes for this flat part of north
Texas. The course rolls through a housing addition and some of the
holes are very tight.Nos. 7 and 11 stand out in particular. The 7th goes 161 yards over
White Rock Creek to a sloping green. No. 11 is tough because is plays
well over 400 yards uphill into the prevailing wind.Other notes: Carts are mandatory on weekends before 2 p.m. The cemetery
next to the No. 3 green has graves dating back to 1800 and a historical
marker to commemorate the settlers commissioned by Stephen F. Austin.
