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.

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.

Nice course

This is a nice layout with reconstruction on a few holes and a few Deep bunkers needing much repair. I feel things are getting done and I suspect by Sumner it should all be taken care of. It presents good challenges but is very fair - what you see is what you get. I enjoyed it despite the 1.5 hour ride from San Fran

First time experience

The course was in nice shape with lots of beatiful water features. The course had lots of elevation changes and strategically placed hazards. Very enjoyable time. Expect the Delta breeze to kick in, which can add to the challenge.

What a fun course

It continues to improve. Fun course. Fun layout. Greens were in pretty good shape. Fairways were excellent. Could have easier access to food at the turn. That would be nice. But pace of play (3.5 hour round),staff, and scenery is amazing! The view on 18th tee box an hour before sunset was great. Look forward to playing this course again.

No notice os plugged greens

The course is in surprisingly good shape. My only complaint is the front line was closed because they're sanding the greens and there is no notification anywhere prior to showing up.

The course is fun and looks good. Last time I played the course it didn’t look or play good. About 7 years ago. I will continue to come back if It stays in good condition. Cart was a little weak. First cut too long. Pro shop staff very nice. Bartender bit as much. Great community.
