First year that I am actually getting cucumbers and I picked one a
couple days ago that was greenish on top, but after picked noticed it
was mostly yellow on bottom.

If they are growing on the ground (not climbing), they will usually
end up looking like that.

Ignore the yellow.

Will it ripen like a tomato if I leave it
on the counter or out on the deck rail? Will the yellow ever turn
green, it does not seem to be changing at all.

Actually, you probably don't want a cucumber fully ripe. They are
huge, yellow, somewhat tough things. I've read suggestions to let
some ripen and then roast them (like a hard squash), but I've never
tried that.

Last year I planted things way too close together and several
cucumbers hid long enough to mostly ripen. They were yellow-green
and nearly the size of an American football. They went directly
into the compost pile.
