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.

Much improved course since I last played it.
The greens are looking really good. The fairways look a lot better than they looked about 6 months ago. There are a lot of bare spots on the edges and just off the fairways but they don’t affect your game unless you mess up your shots. The bunkers are in desperate need of sand. That’s truly the only black eye that I’d give.
The course layout has always impressed - I found myself saying over and over again ‘ I really like this hole’. If you could fix the bunkers, this course could easily become a favorite golfing destination again.
This course needs a lot of attention.
The course is much improved in the last year but still needs a lot of work.
POORLY MAINTAINED !
They have let course go to ! What a shame , nice layout and can be very nice place to play when maintained properly. Lost its former glory .
Good Value
This course is a good value for the price.
Course continues to be upgraded after being left unmanaged for a year.
Soggy Day
I haven't played here for a few years and didn't realize they'd closed the driving range. Our foursome got there an hour early and even though it was a slow day with no one on the 1st tee we were told to wait. Apparently you can't even get your cart early for some unknown reason. I've always liked the layout here and will probably go back there, I just won't show up early anymore. Greens were nice too.
Watch your step
The was very soggy from recent rains. The bigger problem was the tremendous amount of goose poop. Almost every hole tees to green were inundated with it.
The greens were nice.
This course is fun to plan however Worrier who owns the course have let it deteriorate which is a shame.
Most of the tee boxes and fairways have dry spots and weeds growing in them. The water hazards have been let go and are very muddy with allergy growing in them. If Worrier would fix it up it could be a great course. Then I would recommend it to my friends.
Winter time
Well haven't played here for two years or more since they closed the practice range,new owners are not taking care ,another golf course in run down condition ,what a shame ,this used to be one the most challenging tracks around don't waste your money...
Friendliness
Course has the most friendly staff and personnel that I have ever experienced on a golf course. Even other players were very helpful and friendly. I enjoyed my round at a relaxing pace and shot a very nice score because of it I will recommend this course to friends and family most det
Fun Course
It could be a very nice course but there has been a lack of good maintenance for several years. If management would bring it back to what it use to be I'm sure more golfers would come..
Good value
It had been a while since my last round at this course. For a Saturday round, it took me a little over 3 hours to play 18 holes, which is fast for a Saturday.
There was no wind. Only a little fog but not enough to make a difference.
Unfortunately the course was not in the condition I remember. I saw only two or three bunker that you could play out if. The rest were overgrown, under water, or didn’t have any sand left. The fairways were not in good shape. A lot of patches of dead grass.
The greens were ok.
The tee boxes needed to be mowed.
Hopefully the next time I go back the course will be in a better condition.
Overall, still a good price and a fun round of golf.
Run down and poorly maintained
Large brown spots throughout the fairways, sand traps without much sand, very slow and bumpy greens. What was once a nice course is not worth the time or money to play. Sad.
Would like credit
Was unable to play due to illness, couldn't cancel online and have poor cell service where I'm staying. Got through to customer service after 8 tires but got no return call. Got through to course in 3 tries and cancelled the round. They are unable to give me a refund or credit.

The overall course is in good condition. Bunkers
are unplayable, and we played them as "ground
under repair".
We started around 12 noon, and finished by
4:00, playing as a twosome. Weather was
slightly smokie (fire in Napa area) with a
wind in the 10-15 MPH range, playable.
Overall, a good value and very playable.
Worst Golf Course conditions in Solano County.
The course condition was the worst I have played anywhere in years.
This course needs a lot of attention.
This course was a great course back in 2003 when I first started playing it. It was very good until about 6 years ago when Shea sold it to some people that decided it did not want to maintain it. It has gone from about a 9 out of 10 to now it is about a 2 out of ten. The sand traps are mostly weeds now. The grass on the tees is mostly dead or non-existent. There are numerous areas that use to be grass that are now bare ground. The water in the lakes is stagnant and stinks. Until they change their ways, play somewhere else.
Very friendly staff and great value.
Great value course even though back 9 was aerated and we play front 9 twice. Super friendly staff that was very helpful.
