I hate this course. Some people like it. I am not one of those people. The course was in great shape when I played it. There are many scenic holes (from the fairway, not from the tee) and it is out in the wilderness away from the city, so its peaceful. Now...the layout of this course is a complete joke. Its a real shame because the land is spectacular. I think someone designed this while trying to make a big name for themselves, or trying to do something different that would stand out. Almost every hole requires advanced knowledge of the course because the landing area is blind, tiny, or both. There was a hole where I played a 7 iron off the tee and hit a 9 iron approach. Yes, a 7 iron off the tee. Most of the time, i just listened to the guy I was playing with. I'd hit my 5 iron or 4 iron in the area where he told me to hit it and I'd shrug and say "okay, if you say so..." That..to me...is no fun. I scored pretty well (78 from the tips...pretty good for me) but felt like I had no fun. Except for the first hole, I don't really remember ANY of the holes. I just remember hitting toward trees and trying to hit a very specific yardage. So many 90 degree dog legs. Don't get me wrong...it's find if you want a quirky hole or two...or a small, green-sized patch of fairway that you have to hit in order to go for the green...but in MODERATION. This is basically the whole course. If I hadn't been playing with a "regular" I would have NEVER thought to hit the shots that I did. The scorecard does not prepare you for the actual shots that you need to hit. So to summarize, the facilities are nice. The conditions are superb, the course isn't too hard (as long as you already know the right place to aim, i guess), but you never get that satisfaction of watching your ball bounce down the fairway. Except for the first hole, which was the one and only hole that I used my driver. So if you're into that sort of thing, you won't be disappointed. Its probably the nicest of this type of course that I have played...I just hated it.

We have played this course for over 10 years on an almost weekly basis in season of course. It is fair for women and really pretty course. In the fall some of the tees are up high and the view of all the colors is very scenic. We drive 20 miles past a lot of other course, most of which we have tried, just to get there.

Tough course. Not many bail-out areas. Greens very tough.

Devil's Ridge is not an easy golf course, not because of the length but because of all the blind shots and difficult greens. You really need to play this course a few times to know where to hit the ball and where NOT to hit the ball. Hole #10 could be the dumbest hole I've ever played in my life. Play the course and you'll know why. The course is scenic with a lot of nice holes. I thought all the par 3's were good holes. You can definitely take drive out of the bag is you're a long hitter.
