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.

Glad to see improvements are in the works
1st time playing this course. Was told the course used to be in great shape. It needs a lot of work but glad to hear that a plan is in place to accomplish that. Old owner’s and former head maintenance man neglected the course. Greens and green side bunkers are in good shape and fairways are coming along even with drought conditions upon us. Fairway bunkers are currently waste areas and not playable (we just pulled our balls out like it was ground under repair). Will play there again.
Was a great course years ago
The course is now very poorly maintained. The greens are nice however the fairways and surrounding areas are allowed to die and brown/harden.
I'm aware the course went through some hard times however it's time to get it back where it once was. Aeration and watering of the fariways and first/second cut is way overdue.
The bar/restaurant pours very light and the drinks are not up to par however the staff is friendly and nice.
Might be time for new management.
Out with the boys
First the bad news, most of the fairways were in very poor shape, lot’s of dirt instead of grass, they really like to water to the point that is swampy, Now the good news, around the greens are in very good shape, green and cut, now the best news, all the greens are in great shape, who ever does the greens should take care of the fairways too.
Course has potential
Great layout. Lots of potential. While it isn’t in the best shape, the management group sounds committed to bringing it back to glory. Greens were SLOW but in good condition. Fairways and tee boxes need work, but they appear to be addressing it already. Overall we had fun. Can’t complain.
It’s coming around
New management is bringing the course to its original luster. I’m liking the changes. Nice golf course community to retire!
First impressions
The course is laid out well , but fairways & bunkers need a lot of work. To be surrounded by so many nice homes in a retirement community, I think the course should reflect the homes around it.
Improving
Coming around from the last time I played here. Fairways still need a lot of work. Playable. Keep doing the work.
Getting better
Greens are nice and green side bunkers are playable with lots of sand and maintenance. Fairway bunkers still needing some work. The course was neglected for awhile so it will take some time to get better. Expect many dry, dirt spots but overall is a nice course.
Trilogy
First time playing trilogy and after hearing rumors of how bad the course conditions were I was pleasantly surprised that they were actually decent! Fairways could use a little love but the greens were NICE! Wind wasn’t a problem either and the service was excellent. Staff was friendly and knowledgeable! I will be coming back to play again soon!
Getting better.....
They are getting the course in better shape. Putting sand in the sand traps!! Needs more work on soundings , Will definitely go back. Pace of play in the afternoons is very good. Keep it up!!!!!
Layout great and friendly staff
The starter was nice enough to prepare us for the course by letting us know it’s under new ownership and improvements are being made. That said the conditions were mot good. Fairways were rock hard even if you were lucky enough to find some grass. Bunkers were pretty good but the greens were punched and sanded. Now the bones of the course are great, the layout is challenging but not punish and the greens have really cool shapes and undulations. Hopefully they can get it back in prime condition because once it is , it will be a great course!
