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.

The course had the standard 3/4 inch rough that made playing non-fairway shots difficult. The greens rolled good but they were very underlaying which made putting difficult.

Pace of play. Horrible. Just 2 of us and the starter made us wait till the regulars went. Their pace was really bad. I left after 6 holes cuz we caught up to the group ahead of us yet again and they had caught up to the group ahead of them

Enjoyed our round! The layout is fun. The conditions probably weren’t up to their usual because they had just over seeded the course. Good value & fun course.

Interesting, doable

Greens need work

A typical bargain course. Greens have been recently verticut in preparation for overseeding, and were very slow and irregular. Staff was nice and I’d play it again if the greens were better. Altogether, it was an OK experience.

Above Average

Staff was friendly and helpful. Price was good. Layout is above average - some water and traps come into play - but not to difficult for the average player. Course condition was good - some wet and soggy spots in areas of play. Play was a little slow but we were a twosome. Alcohol prices were acceptable. Would recommend to friends.

Nice course

Had fun playing it. The fairways need water and some the greens need work.

I like the layout of the course.

Cart boy needs manners

Nearly everyone was fantastic, and the course was excellent but we are still novice players and we ran slow and past closing. My wife apologized for and explained that we were running through as fast we could as we were new to golf and the cart boy was gruff and in his reply of ‘I don’t need an explanation.’ However, Lena from the beverage staff was fantastic and even gave my wife some pointers!
