Almost Perfect a Round of Golf

If not for the hot humid weather, this would have been a perfect round of golf.

Crowded holes put together nicely.

At one point, we could see 5 holes together with almost every hole with players. The pace was slow due to some players ahead of us were playing as they were playing playing in the FedEx championship, measuring each lies on the greens and practice swinging multiple times, sometimes even after they hit the balls. Just amazing!! Normally, we can finish the 18 holes in about 3.5 hours but this time, it was 4.45 hours. A couple of times, the players hit the balls onto us , while we were putting, almost landing on our greens. Annoying. Well, we enjoyed our game anyway. The one good thing about this outing was the early start for a Hot Deal.

Playing River Oaks

The course is fair and actually fun but no Marshall on entire course, no cart girl for weekend golf? No starter at #1 tee, groups going off when they want, lots of twosome groups and the shop needs to be making these into foursomes, a family of 4 and 3 in front joined together at tee #2 so me and my buddy played behind a group of 7. Range balls are the worst I've even seen and they charge $7 for a small bucket

Never again will I ever play here!

No starter

There was no starter on 1st tee. I felt like a group jumped in front of us. No announcement from pro shop so players are left to work it out, hopefully with no conflicts in this day and age. Never know who is packing.

Old School Business Ethnics

I had a scheduling issue with the River Oaks Golf in Nicolaus a while back. They pushed our 8 am tee time back 3 hours. Due to time restraints we had to cancel upon check in.This did not set well with the group. So I decided to write to the manger and express my concern for how that was handled. Mr Nick Podesta the manger explained and agreed it was their fault and stated that's not the way River Oaks does business. So Nick stepped up, as all business's should and offered a free round to our foursome. Which by the way we just played 7-21-22, so thank you Nick!

Back in the day that's how business was done, your owned your mistake and you took carte of it.

Solid Course

Good place to play. Fairways, bunkers, greens, and tee boxes all in good condition. Range balls a bit over priced. Good practice facility with grass range, practice bunker, putting green. Tight layout, so keep your wits about you when other groups are teeing off. Worth a visit, especially if you can find a discounted tee time. Couple former ponds are now dry, making the layout much less punishing than it might be otherwise.

Love this laid back, affordable course.

Never lose my ball here, wide and fun. Little out of the way and there's no drink cart but otherwise, great. Good drinks, too.
