Great course....

A lot of fun to play, the course is great. The guy working in the shop to set you up, should do something else for a job, what a unfriendly person, no less than 5 other individuals, felt this person was a real sour person. Mood killer....

Keep coming back

This course is very enjoyable. Excellent pace, I also like that they have grass practice range instead of mats. Easy course to play, good course condition. Also very good customer service! I only wish they had later tee times during the summer but no complaints, I enjoy this course a lot and I keep coming back as it’s not very busy and pace is excellent at all times

First timer.

Excellent first experience to this course. Friendly atmosphere inside pro shop. Clear directions on tee times and location. Course layout I gave 4 stars only because couple holes weren’t clearly marked but not difficult to figure out. Wide open fairways are always a plus for a lefty so I score high for that. All in all great experience and will be back soon.

First Round

Very pleasant experience inside the pro shop which is always a good way too start. The course was absolutely beautiful. I took the suggestions from the reviews & it did not disappoint. Unfortunately it was extremely busy throughout the day & as a single you move relatively fast so it’s expected I run into some groups. 5 hour round by yourself is no where near ideal but fortunately the weather was great & the course was so well kept I wasn’t going too let it ruin my experience. 5 Stars just based on course conditions & the layout. Very fun track I just wish I lived closer!

Has matured well.

Return after over 12years.

Its a fun layout and a little more difficult now that trees that were planted when constructed have grown up.

I was surprised ....I feel it is better maintained then in the past.

I would recommend this course.

Our club is playing this course later this year I will play.

First Time

Thoroughly enjoyed the layout & condition of this course. Greens were very interesting but in overall great shape for being Poa Annua. Even from the Black Tees the course played relatively short which I have no problem with considering it just made the day more enjoyable. Aside from the VERY slow play from particular groups I will be suggesting this gem too anybody in the area looking for a great value & beautiful course.

Nice Course

Pretty nice course and nicely maintained. Some nice short par 4s but if you don’t hit it in right place there is usually a bunker waiting for you. Wide fairways and minimal trees blocking most shot angles. Greta driving range but the prices a tad higher than normal.

Fun Course

Good course. They tell me the fairways are nice( haven't hit from one yet! Lol). The whole course is very well kept. I wish they had a phone number placed at the 9th tee to order food so its ready to go when you hit the turn. Otherwise its all good.

Nice renovations

My buddy and I have been playing River Oaks GC for several years. This is the first time back in several months. The course seems to be well maintained, and I saw several newer commercial mowers in use. The course is located near orchards (almonds?) and is always pleasantly quiet. The greens were in great shape as were the fairways. The rough was mowed so you didn't lose a ball if you are not stripping down the middle. The staff is pleasant. The restaurant was great for a snack after 18 holes (I had the quesadilla). Very much enjoyed the rounds, looking forward to next time.

Course in Best Condition Ever

River Oaks' condition is in the best conditioin in a long time. Perfect day to play. Not hot, sunny, and no wind. Also very few mosquitos--typically has a lot of mosquitos due to being close to the river. Pace of play was fast--played in 3 hours and 20 minutes in a twosome with a tee off time of 12:30 p.m. Very enjoyable day. I scored well and made a new golfing friend.
