Hit and Miss

Nice course and layout. We’ll be back. However, very slow play and the Marshall never came by to check on us. Greens were cut high so they were slow and some were very bumpy. No rakes in traps. Confusing signage. Clubhouse closed at 4 on a Sunday so we couldn’t get an after the round ice cold drink and it was a blistering hot day. Very annoying.

Had to play again

Great fun and challenging course. Played it a couple of weeks ago and I had to play it again. Shot even better. Worth the drive from Stockton. Props to the maintenance crew who take care of this beautiful golf course.

Worth the price

I didn’t know what to expect here, first time playing here. Course was in good condition, greens had a lot of sand on some holes. Very few people on course. Was able to play an entire round in 1 hour 55 minutes. I liked playing here but there are no bells and whistles on the carts, which is fine with me but having never played here before I had no idea where a few pins were at. I almost played the wrong one twice. No course layout on the scorecard. The cart path needs 100% improvements. No beverage cart here today. Staff very friendly. I would play here again.

Still fun after a layoff

The course was in good condition and the greens were above average. The course's Chat feature didn't work the two times I tried it and nobody at the pro shop answered the phone when I called.

That said the course was as good or better than I've ever seen it and I had fun after not playing for over a year. I've played here many times and enjoy the course as long as the pace of play is fast which it often is. If it's slow and it's as hot and windless as it can get in the summer, it can be brutal.

Value Amazing!!!!

There is not a nicer condition course for the money in the Sacramento area period. It is drive from Folsom, but it is worth it. I am tired of over paying for dog tracks versus this course.

Will play again

About a hour & a half drive for me but it was worth it. Very fun course and I just like how quiet it is to the point you only hear mostly the wildlife around the course. Thank you Blake had a great time .

Greens in Excellent Condition

Last year at this time, River Oaks' greens were not in good condition overall. This year, they are in excellent condition. Also, fairways look great. There is grass on the fairways and the ball sits up well. Nice to see that the golf course is being very well maintained compared to a year ago.

Mahiligpa

The golf course is in great shape. I like coming out here once in a while. I just don't like to drive out here too often. There's really nothing out here besides golf.

Fun course.

Play here often. The course has never looked better in my opinion. Unfortunately it lost too many beautiful (and challenging ) trees lately. But fairways and greens play real well. Only concern is unfinished fairways bunkers repairs. Staff is great. Food good, too.

Beautiful layout slow green.

In the high 80’s weather with a little breeze made the play conditions optimal. The staff was very friendly and professional in handling the shortage of the carts , possibly due to all the holes were occupied by the players since the excellent weather condition provided the opportunity to play golf after the long months of absence of the game because of Covid-19 . No marshal was on the field but every was very courteous to each other player and appreciative.

Greens had few worn down spots and will need to be attended and there were just so many geese and ducks, even a couple of turtles on the fairways, spreading debris. It will be a good place to play a round until the heat and humidity prevail . Enjoyed so much today.
