As part of playing several courses on the RTJ Trail, the Ridge course at Oxmoor Valley is about in the middle when comparing them all. Still, the layout is very fun and challenging with nice elevation changes, trees, lakes, and bunkering. There are several signature holes and your game will be challenged with different sloping lies. Good size greens make for a fair test. If I lived nearby, I would play this course often. The course was in great condition. Very nice staff and great clubhouse! (I also played the Valley course and it is equally as good, but I found the Ridge course a bit more fun).
Would travel: 60-120 Miles, Vacation Worthy
Bottom line: I would play again, Better than average course for the area
Pace of Play, Difficulty, Ambiance, Staff, Pro Shop, Layout, No Houses on Course, Clubhouse
