River Oaks Golf Club

Had a great day at River Oaks. Played in a threesome and the pace of play had us finished in under 3.5 hours. The staff has worked hard to get some more pace on the greens, and while they will never be “fast” they are much improved. The course is beginning to dry out a little bit due to a lack of water resources, but the overall condition of the course remains excellent. The day was cool, my partner’s were great, and a good time was had by all.

The course isn't long from the white tees at 5374 yards and it's been described as not being a hard course but I find it challenging at my skill level. Being 77, the standard at my age is to shoot your age if your a good golfer. Since I'm not, I think the standard should be to shoot the high temperature for the day. Since it was 92 today, I'm happy.

I like the course and it's seldom crowded and backed up in the summer because of the heat..

Got in back of a slow fivesome that the staff continued to let play. Had to skip around holes to avoid a 5+hr round that usually takes less than 3 hrs.

Got stuck behind some very slow players who kept losing clubs and didn't let people play through. 3 hole gap through 8 holes. No marshall.

Fun, fair course and the greens are really maintained well. A few blind shots that we should have driven up to see..

No water or bathrooms on the.Course. but the bar was happy to provide ice water.

Would play again.

BTW MANY holes are directly adjacent, so you see people in your fairway or even shooting across your fairway on doglegs.

The course was in very good condition considering California's current drought situation. The fairways and greens where well maintained and very green.
