Oxmoor is nice but kind of tight. Greens ok
Ross Bridge plays longer than it’s measure, might want to use extra club. Pretty forgiving landing areas. Greens are immaculate.

Played both last year.

Ross Bridge is probably top 5 track i've played.

Enjoy

Ross Bridge > Oxmoor

I love Ross bridge as a course but the one problem you can run into out there is a very long round. If it’s busy the pace of play is very slow and the bent grass greens are nice but I find myself fixing 4-5 ball marks every hole.

Looks like you’re playing it on a Thursday so you should be fine. Have fun

Played The Ridge last week. Greens are a little bumpy, mostly because people don’t know how to fix a GD ball mark

Yea you’ll play fast being that early.

They have a lot of different tee boxes so choose wisely. I think at the very tips it’s one of the longest courses in the country. I usually play from the orange which is around 6,800 and some people play a mix. The par 3 4th hole is a fun over the water par 3. Absolutely don’t be short there because it can easily roll back in the water

Play the Ridge at Oxmoor, not the Valley. The valley course is fricking stupid. They changed some holes and created the dumbest hole I've ever seen. It's a par 3 on the back nine and it's pure bullshite.

Ross Bridge is a great course. My only complaint is that nobody seems to fix their ball divots on the greens. Somehow, the greens still roll pretty well, but who spends that kind of money to play such a beautiful course, and doesn't fix the ball marks?

Never played Oxmoor but played Ross Bridge and caught it at the perfect time when it was as good as it can get shape wise. It was one of the best conditioned courses I’ve ever played.

I played Oxmoor last month and it was in great condition. It's not a tough course so just go out and have fun. I haven't played Ross Bridge since 2020 but it's always a good time.

The Ridge or the Valley course? We played the Ridge. Cool track. In really nice shape (but it was last summer). They were renovating The Valley when we went. Ross Bridge is downright fantastic. Just a great all around experience there.

As others have said, the bent grass love affair on the RTJ trail is something else. They've moved some of their courses to Champions but The Shoals, Ross Bridge, Oxmoor and Hampton Cove Highlands all have bent grass greens and they get beat to death so the putting can be hit or miss.

Ross Bridge has some of my favorite greens ever but like someone said not a lot of golfers are fixing their divots out there. After repairing yours find a couple others to fix. Just played out there 3 weeks ago, course was in great shape.

I played Ross Bridge today. Greens rolled well, but there’s some areas on greens that are not good. Partly I think from water standing on them, they had extra blowers going to try and dry them. The greens are big enough that’s not a huge issue, plenty of places to put pins. They’re pretty darn fast though.

The ridge is in better condition overall.
