River Oaks Golf Club stretches across more than 800 scenic acres along the Intracoastal Waterway. The Course begins with the shortest of the three nines and finishes with the longest. The final hole on the front nine presents one of the most interesting risk-reward opportunities on the golf course. You can aim for the right bunker for an open shot at the green or try a long drive down the left side for a short approach. River Oaks Golf Clubs' Otter nine has several challenges in store including mounding, strategically placed bunkers, and tricky water hazards.

Great course.

The course conditions were excellent. Beautiful fairways and impeccable greens (except for one). Only complaint is that the pace of play was slow. We waited at every hole and it took 5 hours to complete the game. Still, I would play there again.

Well-conditioned with Many Tees

The staff at River Oaks was very kind and helpful; from the pro shop to the snack shop, and the guys who handled the bags and the carts. The course was in really good condition for February. The greens were consistent albeit with fair amount of sand and running fairly slow, but were quite true given the time of the year. There were multiple sets of tees which allows folks to play from 4800 to 7000 yards or so. The architecture overall is a bit banal but for a practice round or beginners or playing with your children it’s a great place. I’d like to play it again in season to see what the conditioning would do to the course difficulty the kids play for free is excellent overall a nice track especially for a very reasonable price. I would certainly play there again.

This course is likely better when it drys out

Played golf here in the afternoon giving the course time to dry out from last week ends rains and apparently the rain the week before. It was cart path only on a few holes but this definitely slowed up play. We played in 4 hours and 41 minutes including waiting for 23 minutes on the tenth tee!

I like the course layout and some day will likely golf here again for the value golf I chose to spend.

Had fun within our group but rough conditions made the golf difficult.
