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.

Friendly staff nice layout, course in poor condition
The overview reads very nice on this course the staff was great the amenities looked good however no real use of them due to covid restrictions
The course has a nice layout but was really in poor condition with bare patches every where and soggy muddy places as well the greens were in decent conditions and while the $40.00 green fee seems reasonable I've played $25.00 courses that were in better shape
Too bad as I think it has great potential
Still needs work -but OK
For $40.00, it was OK. The tee boxes were all recently aerated so they were all temp tee boxes.. The ground was very hard in many of the tee boxes - needed a hammer to place your tees. Greens were find, a little bumpy still. However, the staff was very nice and helpful. It would be nice to have score cards which were not available, yet. So, all in all, a good deal at $40.00. (using Golf Now). Actually, $36.00 plus Golf Now " convenience fee". Will know to book direct next time.
Course conditions Rio Vista
Played here 15 years ago at the time course was in great condition.Can’t say the same for this time.During check in was told they didn’t have scorecards ?? didn’t understand there reason.
Got to first tee to see that the tee box was in HORRIBLE condition.(see picture) most tee boxes looked like this. We were lucky to have our shots land on grass for the entire front nine. Back nine fairways are in better shape.
Bunkers are the worst I’ve seen during the pandemic ( see picture).
Don’t recommend this course.
Thanks for playing, the course is under new ownership and management and while it is expected to take several years to fully restore the course, lots of improvements have been and continue to be made.
The greenside bunkers were just reopened after a complete renovation and the teeboxes were recently reseeded. Unfortunately we are not able to give out scorecards under the current Covid-19 county health order but the scorecard is available on our website playriovista.com
Again, thanks for playing and hope you'll consider giving us another try as the course continues to improve.

My first round at Rio Vista. The back is in better shape than the front. Tough to find a good lie, even off the tee. It’s a decent layout but too much mud and not enough grass. I would play it again, but not my first choice.
One of my favorite place
Every time I play here (~2x a month) there are approvements to the course. The bunkers, the hazards, the fairways, the facility... The pace of play, the fairness of the women's teebox placement, reasonable cost, and the course layout are the reasons I keep coming back.
not advised
Staff welcomed us nicely. Made us aware of COVID restrictions. Tee times were spread apart. Still managed to be waiting for the group in front of us for our entire round. First tee box was dead grass, second tee box was dead. Hasn’t rained in months and yet this course was muddy everywhere. Greens were very spongy. Chipping around the greens meant walking through mud constantly. No definition between fairways and rough. Our group will not be returning.
A little wet
The course is soaked in most areas. Watering is good but theymay have poor drainage.
all bunkers are sodded over and out of play. Which is actually good, free drop
The bar forced me to order food together with beer. But I saw other customers with only drinks and no food..
Rio Vista
Terrible, the staff was incredibly friendly, but the course was in horrible shape. Overgrown, weeds, wet...and that is in the faitway!
Long Way to GO
We have played many times over the years; way back when the course used to be pristine and a treat to play. We also have played a number of times recently this year.
I know that they are in the midst of a 5 year renovation plan. However, the course conditions today are far worse than they were 1 month ago. They are letting the fairways go, as well as the areas just off of the fairways. So much so, that we lost approximately 10 balls just off of the fairway due to the extra non-maintained long grass. In addition, the fairways are muddy, or sometimes hard pack dirt.
And, to make matters worse, the greens were recently aerated, and we were not made aware until we got tot he first green.
I suggest waiting to play here sometime after the renovations come along.
Thanks for playing and for your feedback. The course is under new ownership and management with major improvements underway. You can check out the Rio Vista insider for more details: https://www.playriovista.com/rio-vista-insider
