Rio Vista Golf Club
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.

Needs TLC
This course could be a great course if properly brought back to it's former state. Fairways are in desperate need of maintenance and repair. The sand traps have been upgraded but T boxes and fairways have been neglected for a long time.
Greens were decent.
The rest of the course is a sick joke. Tee boxes are a joke. Fairways are a joke. There’s more goose poop than grass on this course.
Needs help
This course needs serious help. The layout is great. However its been severely neglected. There is sand in most of the sand traps but some are wet and hard from water intrusion. Fairways are pitiful greens recently punched but starter neglected to mention that they were. Grass is high enough to hide the golf ball. Not good maintenance. Overall with some quality work on the course it has potential to be outstanding.
Getting better
Course needs a lot of help on 1-5 , 6-9 are the best with grass in fair way. Greens where just sanded but good shape
SAVE YOUR MONEY & DRIVE TIME
First off, upon your approach to the parking lot & club house. Hole #18 looked ok.
The only bright spot to the entire round were the greens.
They were a little above average.
Being a Del Webb community this was the poorest conditioned course I've ever played .
Before booking I called the pro shop directly to ask about
overall conditions .The lady that answered my call said they were very good (Lie).Hit with hard rain Sunday & Monday Sept.18th & 19th. Didn't play until Sunday the 25th.
Every Fairway had lots weeds & hard pan dirt.
The Bunkers were terrible.
Was eaten alive by either mosquitos or knats
Until they make major repairs to this course "Golf Now" shouldn't even list it on their website.
Thanks Dean L.
Terrible course conditions
90% of this course is in complete disarray. Dirt, holes, cracks in the ground everywhere including all over the fairways. Almost no sand in the bunkers and were hard packed. Greens were okay. Course could be very nice if it was maintained but likely won’t come back.
Staff was nice and friendly though.
Course is being renewed
The course has been very neglected but is under new management and is slowly on the up. I believe the course would be very fun once it has been rejuvenated.
Lost a fair amount of balls that landed on the fairway due to the amount of exposed dirt and lack of grass. Luckily the greens weren’t neglected and were actually good.
The staff was incredibly friendly and I had a good time overall, but had I paid full price to play a round I would’ve been upset due to the course conditions.
Their website shows a beautiful course but the photos are unfortunately old and the course no longer looks that way.
I wish the staff and the course my best, I hope they can turn the place around for the better
Needs attention
Putting greens great. Fairways abysmal . Needs some serious attention. They are working to improve conditions.
.
Lots of potential
If they ever repair this golf course, it would be a jewel. The layout is fantastic. Very challenging, lots of bunkers, lots of water, but the condition of the grass is horrible.
On the other hand, they’re greens are amazing. A little slow, but in fantastic condition.
Good greens
This course has very nice greens. Fairways not so much. They are working on improving the situation. But right now it's not up to a standard golf course.
good time
we were a 2 some and we started at around 2pm...we finished around 4:15...that is the way golf should be played...we didnt have anyone in front of us, and, we did not rush...good pace and good time...thank you...
