Editor's Note: Course closed for business in 12/2025.
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.

Lousy greens
Layout is decent but the greens are terrible. Huge dead spots on all of them. Sand traps are also in terrible shape and many are unplayable.

Dying greens
This looks like it used to be a good course but they are not maintaining it and the greens are very poor. Many have large dead spots you need to move the ball off of to a better place. The sand traps are also in terrible shape and many are unplayable.

Great Layout/Greens in Rough Conditions
Played this course today. Overall, enjoyed it. The staff was excellent and friendly. The course was somewhat challenging and in decent condition except for the greens. We were told it was a rough winter for this course. The greens were the roughest part of this course. We would play it again if the greens were in better shape. For $60 a player, it felt a little overpriced based on these conditions.
