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.

Revived course

The course has been bought out by the HOA and has improved drastically since the last time I played 7 years ago

I’ll be back for the price comparison to the Fairfield courses(overpriced and can’t get get early morning tee times even as app paid membership)

They've come a long way.

This has always been. One of my favorite designs. Unfortunately this course, over the last decade, has been nothing more than a goat track.

Imagine my surprise playing today. Management has come LONG way in reclaiming this track. The greens were outstanding (though a little slow.) Tees were decent for mid winters. Fairways too. Previously there was 20% grass and 80 % dirt and scrub. Today was exactly opposite.

The course is still a little rough around the edges, but I can't wait to play it again in a few months

So much improved over the last few years

Rio Vista has improved lots in the last couple of years. Only a few bare spots on just a few holes and otherwise in great shape especially the greens. And it never seems to be too crowded so the pace of play is great.

Fantastically friendly staff, nice layout, good condition

I enjoyed the round of golf. Start time playing, but look forward already for the next round. Met by a very friendly staff, shared the recent history and course layout. The course is in excellent winter condition. Greens were in good condition. The green speed was consistent through the course. Water hazards required a decision off the tee, driver wasn’t always the best choice. I recommend this this course.

It’s All Good Now

Great improvements from years past. Greens were good, fairway has some minimal bare spots but that’s ok for this time of the year. Pace were a tick slow today but wasn’t too bad. Overall, would definitely play again.
