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.

River Oaks first time playing

The people/Staff were really nice, The greens had been recently aerated and were bumpy. Some small greens with slopes that made reading them for the first time a little difficult. Length was fine, I played from the White Tees ( 78 years old).. I had fun.

Fox Course - Fast Nine

Facility was very busy, but the staff was still friendly and accommodating .

We were only playing 9 and wanted to play the Fox. No problem The starter found a break and worked us in. Pace of play was excellent, no waiting.

Easy track in good condition for this time of year, Good course for a warmup after a Northern Covid Winter.

Decent Round

I play River Oaks at least 4-5 times a year. I enjoy the course and normally the pace of play is decent. I can't blame them for some players not displaying etiquette. I normally play as a single and don't expect anyone to let me play through, especially if someone is in front of them. But if you have 4 people, and ALL of you take 2 swings off of each tee, and spend an average of 1o minutes trying to get to the green, maybe you should consider letting faster players through. The marshall let me down on this round...

Slow play.

We played behind 2 foursomes that were very deliberate. Should have play at least one tee up. At hole 10, a twosome drove ahead of us and started playing. We called a very dis-interested pro shop and after much conversation he said a ranger would be sent out. They never showed up. Back nine took 3 hours.

WOULD NOT RECOMMEND
