River Oaks Golf Course, located in the South Valley of the Jordan River Bottom Area, is a challenging course where golfers can often have some wildlife encounters. The course offers beautiful scenery featuring plenty of trees and water, adding both beauty and challenge. The links-style golf course has a good variety of shots with some fairways that feature thick cuts of rough. The water that is present on the course is creates very tricky water hazards that come into play on some holes. The 14th hole is notable difficult. The River Oaks Golf Course facility also has an enormous driving range with natural grass.

Good winter golf

Good day for winter golf. The Rate/Slope at River Oaks would indicate the easiest course in the county. I rarely see anyone score below 90. On this day playing partners were 100+ with a dozen balls lost.

Also, front tee Drop Zone on #3 hole is needed.

Play the correct tees then please.

Playing partners we were paired with complaining how hard the course and that always lose to many balls. They played the blue tees. The shot mid 90’s.

Play the tee that matches your game and have more fun.

Play the correct tees, please

If you can’t break 90 every single round, play the White Tees out here.

For years I’ve watched struggling golfers play the Blue tees, because there are Black tees, and they proceed to lose at least a dozen balls per round. Amazing.

Great fall round

River Oaks GC is a challenging course despite its seemingly short length which is due to narrow fairways, trees, and lots of water hazards; the layout makes you think on every hole and strategically consider your line and locations on many shots; the pace of play was fantastic because of the fall weather which was cooler than normal and threatened of rain which never transpired; the staff has been exceptionally friendly and accommodating, and the course was in excellent condition; I look forward to another round, hopefully, before the season ends.

I wasn’t playing well today and it’s just a tough course where you have to place the ball well so probably a tougher course than I should play for now but it is a good well maintained course

Par 70 Course

Great course. Can shoot low scores, but be careful if you try to use your driver on the holes that have a big risk versus the reward

Let us know about the punch and sand first.

Front nine puts you in your place. If you can harness your double bogey self loathing, the back nine has a lot of birds available.

Another challenging, enjoyable round

River Oaks GC is a challenging course for me, but one I enjoy playing because it requires strategic and thoughtful decisions in many holes; it isn’t a course that I hit driver off every par 4 and par 5 which is fun and challenging; knowing your club distances and playing clubs consistently come into play each time I undertake a round which is what brings me back; I have not mastered any of the holes, but I have played just about each hole as well as I could, but not every outing which is frustrating at times but what brings me back; the staff was very friendly, and the course was in good shape; there were a few drought affected spots on the holes, but they didn’t affect play much; I wouldn’t encourage beginners to play this course because there are many trees and lots of water hazards, but it is a course that will challenge every player.
