The tee boxes need real attention and the fairways could use some help too but the greens weren’t yo bad.

Great course, slow greens

My only knock is the putting greens are way, way too slow. Almost impossible to transition from other courses that have normal green speeds.

Rating of River Oaks GC

Course is layout in a way that keeps your interest. Play there at least once a month (during decent weather). Good course to score well if your game is on target. Worth the drive from Roseville CA. Only con is that they have no Rangers on the course and if you play late morning tom mid day your round could expirience a slower round due to no one monitoring pace of play. Food and drink are good. In all honesty I like this course very much.

Fun time

I went as single but played with some great partners. Greens very pitted but course otherwise has been cleaned up. Best cheeseburgers anywhere! It was pretty busy but pace was slow mostly just due to one group in front of us. Range now open but didn’t get to try it. Saw more geese in flight than ever in my life.

Super Friendly Staff

The course is way out in the middle of nowhere. The layout is not great.

But, I will very likely go back because of the terrific staff that was super nice. Truly can’t say enough about them for my first time visiting. Great job and when I come back it will be because of you.
