My experience at The Ridge Course had some highs and lows. The golf courses were in decent condition, yet I faced a surprising extra charge for a round I thought was included. The Scandinavian cabin was cramped and had a moldy smell, which was disappointing. However, the staff were friendly and attentive, and the shuttle service was reliable, making the stay somewhat enjoyable despite the issues.
