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.

Much nicer than expected.
Greens were in very good condition. Fun course to play.
Rio Vista GC Coming Back!
Teeoff deal for 1:48pm tee time. Got to course early; starter allowed me to play around 12noon. Thanks! Tee boxes in good condition. Fairways in excellent shape except for a few areas. Rough very penalizing; hard to find balls. Greens recovering nicely from aeration; very slow. Played the course about a year ago; didn’t want to come back. But the maintenance staff turned it around. What a pleasure to play it now!
Potential is There
No mention of greens being punched on any reservation platforms unacceptable...
While the pace of play was excellent...the overall course lacked attention to detail with rough extremely penal which made moderately off fairway shots extremely difficult to find your ball...
Lastly, the restaurant sitting area is under renovation creating a horrendous amount of noise for the team working in the proshop...you literally had to yell at the attendee to confirm and pay for you're round...it would better suited for pro shop to relocate check in while construction is going on....
Rio Vista is back
The course is coming back. Impressed with the new management making the course pretty again.
Greens rolling pure, fairways still need work but looking a lot better
A good experience
It was nice to see the course so green and in good shape. Hopefully, in a couple months it will still be a good experience. Hopefully, the sprinkler issues have been resolved. Time will tell.
Nice Course
Nice Course. For what the price with cart is reasonable. Pace of play was a little slow considering there was a twosome in front of me, and a twosome in front of them. Hole 17 has a group of trees that blocks the fairway that you have to go over or try to split them.
Muddy
The fairways are flooded and muddy. The drainage could be more better than it is now. The greens are in excellent conditions despite the rain.
Hidden Gem getting better
Been playing this course since it opened. Seen the good & the bad from Rio but the service never fails and the layout is as challenging as they come. Happy to see the continued improvements, course isn’t perfect but it’s a home for golf to the community and it’s worth a try if you haven’t already.
work in progress
the course when I played it a couple years ago was horrible. This time it was much better and is a work in progress. The GREENS were in excellent condition. The fairways are being worked in especially the front 9 , back nine is in great shape except for hole 18 which is being worked on . Can't wait for it to all be done it will be nice. The people at the facility are awesome and friendly and very helpful
Ugh
Horrible fairway conditions!
Should lower prices…
Rio on Sunday
The course is in good shape, there have been a few changes since I last played there. They are some good changes to allow for faster play. Sunday seems to be a good day to play there as not many people get up early to play.
Always a good time
This course is wonderful. It’s truly just a good time every time! The staff are just so kind and they’re great with our kids too! Food is great!
I know the course needs a lot of help and some tlc and they’re visibily working on it but it’s a great layout and the greens are always great.
Love rio vista ♥️
Best weather for golf
I had my best round of old at Rio Vista due to perfect weather conditions. Greens were a little bumpy but manageable.
