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.

Golfer Reviews
Course is friendly on all levels. Water holes create some challenges, but maps on scorecard helped..
We had a very good time. We were a slow group, but you can generally get around this course reasonably fast.
Rio Vista is fun with friendly staff and waterfalls galore
I always enjoy the Rio Vista course layout, elevated tees and greens, scenic fairways lined with ponds, and waterfulls. Greens have plenty of undulation to make them challenging and speed is perfect right now. I usualy play afternoons, when the fees are lower and pace of play seems faster. There are also tees for each skill level. If the Bunkers were filled with fresh sand, I would have given it five stars. It is still worth the play but check wind conditions before going.. Wind under ten miles an hour is fun, over is hard work. KD
could be a nice course if more attention was given to the conditions
We have played this course about 70 times and are residents of the community. The course can be windy at times but it only adds another aspect to the play. Sloppy wet mud puddles in some areas and dry in others. The irrigation system doesn't cover all of the course because of the wind. Tee boxes are dry. Sand traps have water siting in them causing the sand to be like cement when they dry out. The greens are maintained and are in great shape. No Marshalls during the week so play can be slow because of rude players playing 2 or 3 balls. No refreshment cart during the week. It's too bad because it could be a beautiful premier course for the area but the owners won't invest the effort to make it such.
Peaceful course
Awesome course. Well maintained for cheap price. Members and staff are nice. Easy to feel welcomed. If you go later in the day, you sometimes can feel like you're the only one on the course.
Rio Vista golf course
Had a good time at Rio Vista, play was a little slow. All the greens look to be well kept. A couple of spots had standing water, but not bad.
Great place to play anytime
Love the layout and value of this course! My two negative for this course is the inconsistent bunkers on the course. Ether they are filled with water or the sand depth is really different in each trap. Also the greens could be in even better condition if players fixed their divots on the greens. Just pure laziness!
No Complaints, looks great. I played there because it was a good value for a weekend tee time.
I live in Brentwood and this course is very similiar to the Brentwood Golf Course. Howevere, there are some subtle differences that make this course equally challenging. I had a good time, staff was super friendly.

It seemed like the course needed more water. There were some bare spots. The greens had two different types of grasses growing on them which made for some inconsistent roll. Some of the sand traps were in good shape and some were wet or hard. The pace of play for the first nine was very slow: 2 1/2 hours. Fortunately, we were allowed to play ahead of a group on #10 and then we sailed through the last nine: 1 1/2 hours. I recommend this course only because we paid a very low rate through Golfnow.

... a follow up to my previous posting of 2013. The course is now owned by Warrior Golf. I, like so many other residents of Trilogy Rio Vista, are very very VERY disappointed with Warrior Golf and what they have done and failed to do with the course. Weeds are popping up everywhere sand traps are hard like cement, hard pan in some areas of the fairways and mud in other, weeds and tall grass everywhere. All of which makes it hard to "play it where it lies." One year ago Warrior sent out a letter that they would start repairing the bunkers in September of 2014. Still waiting. Their excuse... "the dump truck used to bring in sand is broken". Has been for many months. My suggestion to Warrior, if they cared, would be to rent a dump truck. Most recently they were going to address the weed problems. Not much improvement there either. The course is loaded with geese. Goose droppings EVERYWHERE! It makes it hard to put on the greens when your ball is bouncing off goose land mines. Don't waste your money coming to this course as the conditions with cause you more frustration then the game itself. For a great round of golf for less money go to Elkhorn Golf Course in Stockton. Or if you don't mind spending a little more money go to Rancho Solano in Suisun. A WONDERFULL golf experience! As far as the Golf Club in Rio Vista is concerned, I am a resident in Trilogy in Rio Vista and am ashamed of the course. Don't waste your hard earned money. Sorry Warrior Golf but you apparently bit off more then you could chew.
