Course in great shape, way too slow pace of play

This was my 3rd trip up to River Oaks. Grabbed a great deal on Golfnow as I am tired of a $75 round at average courses in Placer County. The course was in great condition, greens were slow but smooth. Bunkers had actual sand in them. Check in was fine, but worker was grumpy. My main issue was the pace of play. Teed off 10 minutes late for an 8:45 tee time and finished the first 9 holes in 2 hours, 40 minutes. That is not a fun Saturday for me so I called it after 9 holes

First Time Playing

Single player ahead allowed to slow up pace of play

There was one person ahead of us playing two balls throughout the whole round. There was a group ahead of him but they would be on their 2nd shot before the single person would even get to the tee box. Didn't seem right and one of the groundskeeper saw it and agreed that the person shouldn't have been playing 2 balls like that. Nothing was done when we called into the clubhouse, since there were no Marshalls on the course. So our group had to deal with it and continue to watch the single person play out each hole with two balls. Unfortunate because the course was nice and fun to play. Susi chicken tacos hit the spot too after our round.

One of the best spots around Sac

Love this track! While there are areas where more investment in the property would go a long way (cart paths, on course water dispensers, visual aids at tee boxes showing the hole) the things that are directly controllable (greens, friendliness of staff, fairways, bunkers, etx) are all great!

Nice course good greens

I hadn’t played here in years but I was in the neighborhood so I thought I’d give it a try. I was placed with three other singles but they never showed at the tee time. I waited for a bit but then took off on my own. They don’t have a starter here so that made it a little hard. Once going I caught up to a foursome in front of me. After 4 holes another single caught up to me and he joined for a couple holes since he was only playing 9. Over all the course seemed to be in good shape, several fun holes and tee boxes in good shape. I’d recommend this course if you’re in the area.

No marshal

Pace of play was the worst ever. No starter, and never saw a marshal on the first nine holes. That’s right we only played nine holes because it took us three hours.

Great Condition

The course looked great and the conditions of the fairways, although I didn’t play them very often, and the greens were in great condition.

Great job!
