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
First time experience
The course was in nice shape with lots of beatiful water features. The course had lots of elevation changes and strategically placed hazards. Very enjoyable time. Expect the Delta breeze to kick in, which can add to the challenge.
What a fun course
It continues to improve. Fun course. Fun layout. Greens were in pretty good shape. Fairways were excellent. Could have easier access to food at the turn. That would be nice. But pace of play (3.5 hour round),staff, and scenery is amazing! The view on 18th tee box an hour before sunset was great. Look forward to playing this course again.
No notice os plugged greens
The course is in surprisingly good shape. My only complaint is the front line was closed because they're sanding the greens and there is no notification anywhere prior to showing up.
The course is fun and looks good. Last time I played the course it didn’t look or play good. About 7 years ago. I will continue to come back if It stays in good condition. Cart was a little weak. First cut too long. Pro shop staff very nice. Bartender bit as much. Great community.
Improved
Doing a lot better these days. I’d play here again.
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)
Course in good shape
The Course is beautiful and in pretty good condition.
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.
Nice course
We enjoyed the course, some tricky water holes but overall nicely kept. The greens are very nice
Pleasantly surprised
Played here about 6months ago & was disappointed
The course has had significant improvement greens are in very good shape,only a couple of fairways remain troubling
Overall course is MUCH improved
