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.

Surprised and Disappointed
Trilogy I always thought had a good product. The course conditions was possibly the worst I ever experienced. I played only four holes. I would not play this course again if it was free. Their webpage also is miss leading, they indicated there was a driving range which was removed years ago.
Once nice course, not anymore
This used to be a nice course but not anymore. Fairways are in terrible shape, bunkers are hard and most are wet. Greens are very furry. It will be a long time before I play there again
On the mend
This track has seen better days but I hear it's on the mend. Fairways bad but greens were great!
Interesting Course
The layout of this course is very interesting! There are holes that are very challenging and some , not so much! Fairways in horrible condition. Greens are kept! Tee boxes need some love! It will be awhile before returning here!
Course could be beautiful
This could be the nicest course around but it’s not kept up well enough. The fairways are dry and don’t get watered enough, same with the rough. Other parts don’t get mowed enough. Greens are perfect tho.
This course was fun
We were paired up with 2 other golfers, but we had a great time. It looks like there is a bunch of holes, tee boxes, and bunkers under repair, likely due to all the rain we received this winter. But it was a great time.
the course was fun, lots of water. it definitely needs more yardage markers.
Golf with Strangers
I had a great time, but the course continues to require improvement. This is the third time in two months that I played at the course and can see it getting better and better. I will go back this month for further evaluation.
Got a good deal and was pleasantly surprised.
Got a good deal and was pleasantly surprised.
Based on reviews past few years, was not expecting much but you can see how hard they are working to improve this course - greens were really good ( challenging and incredibly good conditions)
Sure, parts of the fairways had issues but overall very playable and fun.
Course in Poor Shape
The course needed a lot of work, and there was a tire marks and hokes and weeds on a lot of holes.
Big improvement !
This was only my second time playing Rio Vista, the first time was two years ago and they have made massive improvements since then ! Most of the bunkers had sand and were well maintained, some bunkers were still unplayable, every green was in amazing shape although as others have said they are very slow, the fairways still have some bad sports but you can tell they are working on it, I would recommend playing here again if you haven’t in a while, for $41 on a Friday morning with a cart it’s hard to beat.
Windy and needs some good repair.
As always the Rio Vista course had plenty of wind to slow me down. It was not as bad as before pandemic. There were several potholes and sinkholes in the fairway that were quite rocking to drive the cart on. They were agonizing, even hurting my back. The wind picked up its velocity quite a bit. Pace of the play was great because of the wind, they’re just a few players on the course.
Fun times with friends
Brought my nephew Nolan and his fourteen year old son Bugsy to play the course. They love it and wish they could play it again before they leave next week!
Course was in decent shape.front nine has a couple holes with beat up fairways.back 9 was in good shape greens are coming in good but need a mow
Overall I would return
Has potential
I played this course because it was a great deal on Teeoff.com at $21. Upon checking in the nice man told me that the course was being rehabilitated from a previous owner. Overall the couse was in good condition with 3 exceptions Greens were VERY slow maybe a 2-3 stimp , Fairway bunkers are filled with grass and the rough was way too long. I lost 4 balls in the open rough with decent drives. That's Very frustrating and all of the golfers I spoke with on the course had the same opinion.
A bit more rehab and I would try this course again
