Great course, Staff was OK
The staff argued with another customer and I about the included range balls. It was not noted on our GN receipts. Finally a lady came up, said we were right. We got our range balls and a great round.

I enjoy the course every time I play.
This is a great course that is usually well maintained. The staff is friendly and the pros do a great job in teaching.

Great location
A beautiful day in November and the course was in pristine condition.

Generous Fairways and Greens
I find the Ridge Course to be incredibly fair. If you've brought a decent swing to the course, you will be handsomely rewarded. Fairways and greens are quite large so even little left or right "squirts" aren't overly penalized.
Greens were in good shape, but very slow on a warm day in November. Missed 3 putts due to shortness on the way to a 79 with three birdies (4, 10 and 12).
Beautiful views and a good amount of elevation change make the Ridge Course a much better track than the Resort Course. If you're in for a real challenge to your game, try the shorter Challenge Course. It is deceptively difficult and will eat your lunch unless you've brought a great swing.

This is a great course... but....
The Ridge Course at Eagle Crest Resort is a very nice course and a good challenge for the average golfer.
However, it's a pretty long course to not have water available at some of the tee boxes and, unless you walk a lot of the time, this one might be a cart course as there is a lot of elevation change. We walked the course on a 70+ degree day and at a pretty good pace (Tee off at 1:45 and finish at 5:25) and the lack of coolers to refill the water bottle was irritating.
In season (and probably on weekends) there is a beverage cart but apparently not on a Thursday afternoon in October. There are restrooms so refilling in the bathroom sink is an option.
Value is a pretty subjective criteria - the 'hot deal' we got was a great value; at normal rates it's a pretty average value. There are less expensive courses in the area that we enjoy playing at least as much as this one.

Excellent Course
Our initial look at this course suggested narrow fairways and overall a difficult play. However, we found it to be very playable for a mid-teens index golfer and novice spouse. The conditions were excellent, and everyone was very pleasant. A Great value for the money on this early fall afternoon.

Challenging, fair and fun
The Ridge course at Eagle Crest Resort is an under rated course. It has an excellent balance of level, uphill and downhill approach shots with no blind shots. The greens are well protected by bunkers and the ever present break away from Cline Butte which is to the South. This break is stronger on the back 9. The 12th having the most deceptive break. Nice.
Go play the Ridge course and have fun!
