Photos on This Page Last Updated December 1, 2016

This Web page contains golf hole pics of North Ridge CC that have been "recently" added to our Website. I put recently in quotes, as I am not sure how often the page will be updated. It depends upon weather/camera-availability when I am on the golf course and other factors. It is intended that the next phase of North Ridge photos will be movies of each golf hole. However, I am in the midst of trying to come up with an approach to do that with my limited camera and captured-video editing experience. Some of the pictures included in this page are also on the primary pictures-of-golf-holes at North Ridge Web page pointed to my this site's navigation page (see the above "About Us, Newsletters, Discussion, Golf Course Pictures' button). If you have pictures of North Ridge CC that you feel would contribute to this site: Thank you, in advance, for contacting me. Regards, Dave Shogren, eMail: Webmaster@NRCCSeniorMensGolf.org

----------------------------------------------------------------- A morning on the Lakes Course and a Weekend Morning View of Oaks #1 Tee Area July 28-31, 2016 I planned for only 12 holes in this morning's golf/walk - and, that was perfect for this hot/mid-Summer day in Raleigh. (Click on the following to see in a larger-sized image). The Clubhouse Area July 28, 2016 It must be July/August. Crepe Myrtle Time. Lakes 1st Tee Area Crepe Myrtle Time.... Oaks 1st Tee Area Clubhouse - Viewed Through Morning Sun, Humidity/etc. Lakes 1st Tee Area Clubhouse - Viewed at 11:30am As Heading Home Some Tees on the Lakes July 28, 2016 Again, As viewed through the morning sun and humidity.

Lakes 2nd Green Area Lakes 7th Green Area Lakes 12th - A "Near Perfect"-ly Designed Golf Hole July 28, 2016 Gene Hamm designed a wonderful driving hole(if you are not "only" a right-to-left driver of the golf ball). Everything is "right in front" of the player. The green is layed out perfectly. The player must hit a precise shot to this well-protected green. Similar to other fine Gene Hamm-designed golf holes at NRCC including, especially: This hole, Lakes 4th and Oaks 11th. Lakes 12th Forward Tee Lakes 12th Second Shot Area Lakes 12th Green Area

----------------------------------------------------------------- Two on the Lakes July 24, 2016 As I have said before, I play The Lakes less than I play The Oaks (the Oaks being a slightly easier walk). However, whenever I play The Lakes I hope the sun is such that I get a good photo of certain holes. These two are not TOO bad. (Click on the following to see in a larger-sized image).

----------------------------------------------------------------- The Oaks Course 18th Hole Forward Tee - And: The House at the Corner July 10, 2016 I happened to notice that the steeples on the "house at the corner" are still visible in July, 2016. Perhaps the last Summer of that happening? (Click on the following to see in a larger-sized image). Oaks 18th Forward Tee July 10, 2016

February 28, 2016

April 3, 2016 Well - The Bermuda grass is already waking up and will be fully-green mid-May... if, not slightly earlier. Before that, the fruit trees -- Are even "past" -- and the Dogwoods have arrived on time (the week of April 6). The maintenance staff is "doing its thing" - yet, the course is terrific to play on. A great time of year. (Click on the following to see in a larger-sized image). Oaks 17th Approach Shot Area May 15, 2016 I told you that the Green Grass would be ready by May 15! Perfect. Now, we see if the Bermuda Grass Fairways and Bent Grass Greens can survive the "dry"/hot season that is starting now. Stay tuned for September photos!

A Par-3 on a Sunday in the Mid-South

A beautiful hole -- even though: Yes! The Bermuda grass finally is dormant. Six to eight weeks late....
However, I am glad that it does get SOME rest.
Now: We look forward to Spring 2016 - eight weeks away from now.

Oaks 13th Middle Tee January 31, 2016

-----------------------------------------------------------------
The Fairway Grass is Supposed to be Dormant!

I guess that we will "pay" for the fairway Bermuda grass not going dormant as it should.

Well.... there are bigger problems than this, in the world.
We are VERY fortunate.
Have a GREAT 2016.

Oaks 17th Green Approach Area December 27, 2015 Even though we know we should "hit a club or two more" to reach this well-protected green. We are still, often, short with our second shot. Live and learn? Someday.
