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.

Poor conditions

This course is not well kept up.. not sure why the course was so wet. It was like playing in winter after a few storms came through. Roped off areas everywhere.

An OK experience

As expected, the course is turning browner by the day. There must still be issues with sprinkler coverage. After the winter rains, the course is lush and green. But then when summer hits, the course makes a transformation to browns and greens. The traps are being redone again. The greens are always in good shape and are the best part of the course. Hope this helps. To sum it up, it is a great course for working on your game.

Course in horrible condition

First time playing this course in a while and was extremely disappointed with the conditions. Fairways were roped off under construction and flooded.
