Rio Vista Golf Club

The course could have better maintenance. 6,800 yds from the tips is ideal. There's one difficult par 5 in the front nine but for the most part, an easy course even with its length. All par 3 are nice. I recommend this course.

Senior community course but played long enough and firm and fast. Smooth rolling greens. Above average difficulty from back tees. Best burger at turn maybe ever. Cold Sierra Nevada too which will always bring me back.

This course is a great course to play, the tee areas are very good the fairways are great and the greens are in very good shape. The only problem I see are the bunkers, I know many of my friends who will rate a course either higher or lower if the sand traps are not well conditioned, seems like little to no sand in some traps, crusty and very hard to get out of. Played yesterday with 2 players who were a 2 and a plus 1 and never played there before, both of them bladed a sand wedge out at least once.

Please put some sand into the bunkers, it will make Rio Vista a top place to play in the bay area.

I like the course, and will be back many times this year.

Got a deal with Golfnow for a 10:40 Sat Morning Tee Time and I had read the reviews and thought my buddies and i would take look. Found the course to be in reasonable shape, with some major issues in a couple of fairways. Green & Tees were good and the course in laid out well. Bunkers were terrible, but you are not supposed to be in them anyway... House lined all the way around. Had a good time and the 18th was worth waiting for. Definitely will be back..

We picked the perfect day to play at Roi Vista. Almost no wind. The fairways and greens are in good shape. It has been about 3 years since I last played at Rio Vista. I forgot how interesting the layout of the course was.

The course was good considering it had rained on it most of the night. Some of the course needed to be replanted from the drying conditions or wear but overall very good.

I shot a 38 on the back nine. For me that is unbelievable!
Course in good shape and playing very nice.

We went Monday around noon, found the course full but the
pace good, played as a foursome.
Greens are in good condition, a few rough spots but not too
fast or slow. Fairways had a few bare spots but we played
winter rules. Lots of sandtraps, some water, houses on both
sides, but overall a great value for the buck.

I like this course. The fairways are pretty wide and the roughs are still manageable. There is always that fear of a wayward shot hitting a house. Tends to make me focus a little more. The Par 3's are very long and challenging. This is a very fun course and can get tough when the wind comes up.

A good golf course with challenging hole placement to ensure strategic golf shots when coming up to the greens. A quick pace of play and the carts were fully charged and moved about well. Great bang for your buck! Definitely worth playing there at least once.

The course is up for sale and maintenance is somewhat lacking. Those facts may well be connected. The greens were fine, but the fairways were pretty bad. Some bunkers were okay, but others were poor. I got a very good price--$18 with cart--and it was worth that. I wouldn't be happy if I had paid a lot more.

First let me preface this review- It was 47degrees at 9:15 when we teed off, clear with 5 mph gusts. OK now the review.

They were a little loosie-goosie with starting times. We were told we could just go up and start when ready. We started early, no complaints, but, golfers came up while we were waiting to hit. I guess I would have liked the starter to be more proactive, taking care of the starting arraignments away from the tee box.

Course was in good shape for January 22, given the cold snap we have had lately. Greens were not as fast as I like, but they rolled well (probably about 8.5). Fairways had some thin-ness, but again it's winter golf. Bunkers were well placed and relatively consistent. The greens complexes were outstanding, shot placement was crucial to scoring. Course design was above average given the land they worked with, Ted Robinson does good work!

Rio Vista is a windy area, Most holes are totally exposed to the wind, but the design is such that you play into, downwind and crosswind within the same 9 holes, as it is a figure-eight lay-out. Only a couple of holes were side by each, there was no waiting for the group on the parallel hole to come into our fairway to play their shots.

I would take a group there to play, it would be a fun tourney destination. I would play it again without hesitation. If have never played it and you golf in the area it is worthy, and with a golf now dot com price it is a bargain!

It's always a different experience here because of the wind an I love it

Rio Vista "Trilogy course is always a challenge for me. The course plays extremely difficult when the wind is blowing. I will accept the challenge and go back soon.

This is a retirmement community course so the design is friendly rather than taxing. There are several tees available if the golfer seeks to increase the challenge. Water intrudes on play on several holes and the Delta winds can make the course play more difficult than expected.
There is a nice grass driving range.

Paired me up with a good partner and was able to tee off early.

The fall weather is bringing this little jem around. Nice fairways, AA greens, and a nice layout with peace and quiet during the round. Course was busy but patrons keep up a nice pace of play. Looking forward to another round at Trilogy, Rio Vista.

Bad experience from the beginning! The older gentleman that checked us in was not friendly at all. The fairways were in bad condition... dead spots all over! When I say dead I mean hard dirt. I had to move my ball to a playable location numerous times due to a great drive down the middle of the fairway and sitting in hard pan. It should have been marked ground under repair. One hole I felt like I was in a swamp. The fairway was way over watered and making one with the water hazard next to it. This is summer. I can't imagine what winter looks like. Greens were in good condition... surprisingly! Don't recommend playing this course for more than $25.

might be slow if very windy, lots of local seniors out there in fives and sixes.

We had a very good time. We were a slow group, but you can generally get around this course reasonably fast.
