Ridge Golf Course & Events Center — Restaurant in Auburn

Amazing Wedding Venue! We had scheduled our wedding two years prior at a different venue and had to reschedule because of Covid in 2020. Fast forward to this year when our wedding date was 08/21/21, and had the Caldor fire heading right toward our fully outdoor garden wedding venue in Camino, Ca. We ended up not being able to get insurance per our contract at our old venue due to the fires. My friends, photographer, DJ, and coordinator started calling around when my maid of honor initially contacted The Ridge. They had a last minute cancellation due to a covid situation with the wedding that was supposed to take place on our same day. Due to the last minute cancellation we were able to have our wedding there and keep our same wedding date. They offered to help us 3 DAYS BEFORE our wedding! Sandra, Jen, and all the staff at the ridge really pulled through for us and we will never be able to thank them enough! Additionally they had a large bridal and separate groom suite for us and our families to get ready in! Our special day came out better than we had ever expected and our guests loved the venue! We received so many compliments on how classy and sophisticated the wedding turned out and everyone was shocked that they pulled it off in 3 days. I think my new husband and I are still in shock on how well it turned out! Even better, now we will be able to always visit the venue, play golf and eat & drink on our anniversaries! Cheers and hats off to the amazing team...

What a gorgeous golf course. Well maintained and typically sporting a fair setup. Too bad this was spoiled by what has become the bane of golf. That is, s l o w play. Sunday, 10/20 our two foursomes were behind a five-some of very very old men. Not all elderly people play slowly. This five-some not only played slowly (starting on the 11th hole we waited fifteen minutes just to tee off behind them while they had three to four holes clear ahead of them), they parked their golf carts within a couple of feet of the greens. I did not see a handicap flag. After the round, one of our guys approached the staff and asked why there were no marshals. As expected he was told they monitor the course using cameras/GPS etc. When asked why they didn't do something about the five-some backing up maybe ten other groups, they said they had approached the group two or three times and told them to speed things up. Obviously, they were ignored. My thinking is, if your pace of play policy has no teeth, let people know. That way we can decide if we want to spend 5+ hours waiting on every hole with no hope of moving forward. There are ways to handle slow groups. Why those weren't used...

No bathroom in the “bridal suite”- you have to walk past the side of the bar that was open to the public/ lunch in your robe to a public bathroom.

At least 5 golfers pulled on the door handles.

Bar tender was not friendly and crabby.

Grooms suite was so hot and no AC. No privacy at all. The coordinator did not make sure the beer promised in the service was provided.

Public constantly trying to enter bridal, bridal area exposed to the public- we had to ask for them to relock a door.

Screen did not provide enough privacy for people to get ready - it was like being in a fish bowl Included alcohol of champagne and beer had to be requested, the “coordinator” did not offer it at any point and only when asked and only 1 bottle out of 2 was provided.

The coordinator promised to save horderves for the bridal party on the wedding day and when we asked, she responded with, “oh, really.” She didn’t even offer to ask the kitchen.

Outdoor chairs were set up right before the ceremony and several golf carts drove by. DON’T buy their “Oh, everyone will be far away on...
