Ridgeview Ranch Golf Course, located in Plano just north of Dallas, is a scenic 18-hole championship course designed by Jeff Brauer. Spanning 7,025 yards from the copper tees, the course features rolling hills, elevation changes, and a creek that meanders through the terrain, adding both beauty and challenge. Limestone outcroppings enhance the panoramic scenery and increase the difficulty, making it suitable for golfers of all skill levels. The course is in decent condition, with greens that have improved significantly and fairways that are generally generous. Some areas around the greens and cart paths could use more maintenance, such as weed-eating and mowing. The greens are in good shape, though some patches of poa annua remain, and the course’s natural layout offers plenty of trouble with woods and sand traps to test players. The course can get muddy after heavy rains, and pace of play can sometimes be slow, especially on busy days. Staff members are friendly and welcoming, providing good service and making players feel comfortable. Amenities like a beverage cart are available, though some reviews mention the lack of water stations on hot days, which can be a concern. Overall, Ridgeview Ranch offers great value, especially for seniors, and is a hidden gem with potential to shine further with regular maintenance. It provides a challenging yet enjoyable experience amidst beautiful surroundings, making it a popular choice for golfers seeking a memorable round.
Course is kind of beat up and the cart I used I was worried would stop working. Staff is great. Course layout isn’t too difficult. Greens and tee boxes were in good shape. Fairways were okay for the most part.

102 degrees and no drinking water on the course! Too much watering had muddy fairways. No marshals to keep play moving. Food service people were very nice and helpful!

The course is in decent shape. Greens still have a few bare spots, bout the poa annua grass is gone. However, there wasn't one water cooler on the course on a day with temps in the high 90s. That's criminal. I complained to the AGM but he didn't seem to care, "water is free at the bar," he said 😳
