Rio Vista Golf Club

Fairways and greens have a lot of disease bonkers don't have much Sand. Course is a good value but conditions are sub par. Good value for what we paid.

Very good for what we paid. Very clean facilities and staff was very friendly

Overall the experience of the course was not bad. The course itself though was rough. The greens had a lot of patches which would put you in a hole if you hit onto the patch. A lot of ducks and geese roamed the area and sometimes even on your ball. There was a lot of unmarked construction at the time(such as gas lines or water lines ). But the course itself wasn't bad. I liked the challenges it offered such as bunkers and water hazards. Fun course but needs a lot of work!

I thought I would give the course another try and was again dissapointed. Playing their was a mistake. Shea Homes is currently building houses on what used to be the practice facility.There is no more Range, and Too many bare/dry spots on the course add to the increasing eyesore (as a whole) and take away the ability of high handicap golfers to consistantly make good contact with the ball. Also the unkept Tee Box markers are scattered and mix and matched. But Most Important , if you do decide to play their, pay very close attention to grabbing your ball out of the holes if the flag stick is in-the fiberglass at the bottom of the flagsticks is peeled/frayed and can easily "sliver" you. It hurts. And Its Always Windy.

The greens need a lot more work to keep up the par
standard than ever before. The fairways seem to be ok
if you want to have more challenge shots as in the rough or hazards for a round of practices.

Course is basically in a generally flat area but makes good use of the small elevation changes in the area to make a very playable and enjoyable course to play. Would be really challenging if you happened to play on a day where the wind was strong and this happens frequently in this location.

i played this course 4 weeks ago. they are now attempting to improve the fairways by composting, no improvements to the bunkers at all, they are hard as clay (no sand). the tee boxes in some area,s have improved still needs lots of work.

They used to have a great practice facility with chipping greens and sand traps. It's all gone now with no prospects for a future practice facility. Additionally, the overall condition of the course is not what it was. Even though the greens were recently aerated with small aerated holes, they were otherwise marked with large damaged areas and lots of deep divot type holes. The fairways were not much better. If it weren't for the super price on Golf Now I would never consider playing it again.

GC @ Rio Vista is horrid. Fairways and rough are a mixture of dirt hard pan and dead grass. Whats left of the water in the ponds in brownish green and reeks a stinch so bad that the homeowners that live along the course continully complain, to no avail. Back nine greens are bumpy with dead spots, which is better than the front nines bumpy, dead and DESEASED greens..Course has been heading this bad direction a long time as ive played here for years as its a conveinent option living in Rio Vista. But now i go out of town to play.This place should be anyones last choice resort...anywhere but here.

RVGC is a decent track when maintained...right now the greens are bumpy and the fairways are half hard pan with grass sporadic. From what I can gather, the place just had a sale fall though...so...no one is maintaining it. Still, a fun layout at a great price...and the pace of play is 3.5...so, all told...better than work.

This course used to be nice a couple of years ago. Now it seems that maintenance is badly needed on the greens and some of the fairways have no grass at all.

The front nine obviously has some major disease in the fairways and greens., playing out of the traps is similar to hard pan. The back nine is in a lot better shape but far from acceptable. The last time I played here was in 2001-2002 and the course was pristine and well maintained. I will not return any time soon.

Have played this course numerous times now and still like it. In the process of fixing up the course. Fairways are in decent shape with some bare and dead spots. Sand traps, no sand but that is part of the fix going on. Greens are not in good shape but not terrible. You can see where they are fixing them. A few are not good but overall the rest of them are pretty decent. I love the course and I hope that they get it fixed up so I will continue to play here. I understand that the homeowners bought the course and are putting money into it to fix it up. The only thing I see in the future is, they are going to build homes on the driving range so I don't think they are going to have a range. Probably selling this off to get some money for the course. Well worth the money though for now.

This course is in very poor shape, play was extremely slow and players were not respecting the rules of golf. The group ahead of us drove their golf cart on to the fringe of the green more than once.

I was very disappointed with the condition of this golf course. Greens were damaged, standing water in the the fairways, bunkers that were either filled with water or unplayable and tee boxes so horrible that we had to make some of our own. We had fun because our group is that way, but it will be a long time before we trek out to Rio Vista to play this maintenance nightmare.

This course should be closed.The ponds are stagnant,the greens are like the surface of the moon,fairways are dirt.This course used to be fantastic...... what happened.....

Good value but course in bad shape. Greens were bumpy and fairways need seeding. Bunkers lack sufficient sand base to make them playable. Some tee boxes is disrepair.

I've played this course more than twenty times and I have never seen the greens as bad as I saw this time

I have probably only played a handful of courses more than I've played Rio Vista. Much of the reason is because of value. The course is always in decent condition, the wind makes it a challenge, and there are a lot of fun holes out there. But what does it for me is the great deals you can find pretty much every day! That is the best reason to give this place a try.

Finally got to play this course with no wind. It does need some maintenance but I didn't find it as bad as some of the reviews suggest. The greens on the back nine are much better than the
front. I think that for the price I paid I got my money's worth out of this course and had a blast. Once they get things figured out I think this course will be back to the nice place it once was. Definitely playing here again.
