Course in very good shape and nice layout. Slow play.
We walked into the clubhouse and they were just finishing a tournament and starting another tournament. Had no idea this was going on until we arrived. We had to follow the tournament players and waited every shot with sometimes 3 or 4 groups on one hole. Left after 15 holes when there were 3 groups on a par 3 and we were going to be the fourth. Enjoyed the course and people but not being surprised with a tournament.
Very nice, Excellent staff
This is a great course. It’s was in great shape, greens rolled true. It’s a challenge, elevation changes, great layout. Have played there several times and it never disappoints. Very friendly stafff both in the pro shop and restaurant/bar.
Hilly topography and very scenic. Worth the drive out from concord.
4.5 Star Course!
This was really challenging for first time players. A lot of blind shots and really difficult fairways to hit on several holes. I think future rounds would go a lot more smoothly in terms of knowing the shots. The course is still difficult but I appreciate the challenge now that I know the terrain! The greens were well kept (just a couple repair areas at the outer edge of a few greens but they rolled well and were quite fast!)
Great layout
Always challenging and the look of the course is outstanding. Great work to continue the development of this track. Tony and crew deserve accolades for the progress this course has made over the years.
A new favorite
First time playing the course. Had never even heard of it prior to start of the week. Glad I found it. Lots of hills. Greens were in fantastic shape. It has been dry here lately so there were some expected drier spots. But overall the course was well maintained. Will definitely be back.
My April visit
I play this course each time I visit my brother in Mooresville
Hidden Gem
This course is very challenging, lots of hills and awkward lies on the fairways. More water than you think, lots of blind shots. I will definitely be back
Hill Yeah!
This super hilly course is a tough test of shot selection. The fairways and greens are in great shape but very hard. The ball doesn’t want to hold the green at all. There are beautiful vistas all around.
I will absolutely be back.
What a true test!
This golf course is a true test for your game. I would say it favors the driver of the tee with a lot of forced carries and trouble of the left and right. Fairways in great shape, greens fast and true , really nice pro shop and grill. overall, it’s a heck of a value that I got on GolfNow. Thank you for having me!
Great again!
The course is in great shape. The driving range is open again. The River Oaks team is second to none!
Tough but fun
Tough course. Fun to play. Keep it below the hole!
Another good day
River Oaks never disappoints. Even after all of the winter weather here in the last few weeks, the course is in great shape. They are making some improvements at the driving range and at hole 8, it didn't hold up play.
