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.

Rio V

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.
