About

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.

Greens were uneven

Greens were bumpy and full of tuffs of poiana grass. Fairway was muddy and very soft due to recent rain. Hard to give higher grade due to course conditions.
