About
The Golf Club at Rio Vista is situated at the heart of northern California. With a scenic spot near the Sacramento River Delta, the course is even named after its scenic river view. The river delta meets rolling hills on this tough providing a unique setting equipped with distinctive water features. The skillfully crafted water holes are the trademarks of the design. The design mimics the natural lines carved by the river delta. The fairways are wide open but lengthy and generous greens can also be quite challenging as well. Rio Vista is a golf course that has appeal for players of all skill levels from novices to pros, whether it's the scenery or the diverse layout. Be careful on windy days though, the open course can be especially brutal.

Rio Vista
No driving range, restaurant didn't open till 1130a, course layout is good, course condition is a little rough
Funky fairway Rio Vista
Nothing to eat till 11:30 AM Fairways were really tore up. Large spots were vacant of grass a lot of weeds in the fairway. The Grange were rather nice little bit. Slow at about a 10 the traps were in good condition overall I give it a mediocre three star. I’ve played many better courses for cheaper, including Cypress Lakes, Blue Rock Springs Hiddenbrooke
No driving range
Course was adequate and I'll be back. Wish I knew they didn't have a driving range prior to booking. No ball washers at any of the holes. A lot of course was under construction and that kind of got in the way of play.
Nice layout
The golf course offers a variety of shoes off the tee and in the fairways. Greens were good and fairways very well kept. Straight rather than length makes this a good course for a senior development. The bunkers are too filled with sand and need proper filling so you can play a proper shot out of them. It's like they just dumped sand into them with no grooming. They need to be a consistent depth and playability. They are not. I like the course. Make sure to check the weather report - it can be brutal out there with ferocious winds or extreme heat.
Just a little bit more TLC
The course is very playable. But due to overwatering, there’s some muddy spots that you have to navigate around with proper maneuvering. Greens were almost perfect. Fairways are in good shape besides all the maintenance closures on certain spots. Definitely will come back to play it again. No photos taken during this outing.
Terrible
Course is not being taken care of at all they are flooding the fairways and it’s all mud. Pro shop help is a joke and they will charge you if everybody in your group doesn’t show up no matter what
Downhill again
Course is in bad condition again too much over watering causing fairways to be muddy and sloppy. Roped off fairways make it hard to get around and the sand traps in bad shape. Staff is no help if you have any problems you are on your own
Restaurant
We waited 30 minutes for 2 sandwiches!
(they were horrible btw…)
Overall ratings
The course was great. The restaurant was sad. It took almost an hour to get our 4 lunches. In the past it was good. But the cook is not good as he does not know how to cook very well.
Fun layout
Variety of holes with water hazards golfed under 3 hours with 1p tee back 9 windy
Great course
Great course, we did have a three young boys that almost hit us on the green bc they were not waiting for us to finish. Ended up letting this Jack donkeys play ahead of us.
Food was not so great. We both ordered a half salad and full roast beef sandwich. Mine only had 1 piece of roast beef, chopped salad and a tomato. It was very dry as there was no mayonnaise or any condiments.
Vicki was great but it’s not her fault.
We asked for wheat but got white.
I asked for no cheese and got cheese
My sandwich had 1 piece of thin roast beef, my friend had three pieces of roast beef.
I believe it’s the chefs responsibility and accountability for this. At least tell us you’re out so I can choose turkey.
You need a new chef.
Love the progress
Course has undergone significant renovation. If anyone has old thoughts of this place refraining from visiting again give it another shot. This place deserves the world and has so much potential. Staff is always friendly, can get clogged up at times but this last round was wide open. Always enjoy the greens here too.
Home owners owned course
We’ll maintain compared to Brentwood Summerset now owned by a Koreans who cannot take good care of the course. What a same.
Great Course!
Course grounds are getting better each visit. Great value! Love the staff and overall friendly atmosphere.
