River Oaks Review

The Course:

This is a short course so you should score pretty well if you keep it in bounds. The overall shape of the course is playing very well and Gray should be proud of his crew.

The staff:

The new older gentleman at the counter needs to learn how to speak to customers better. Doesn’t smile and comes off as rude with the tone of his voice. The young lady on the other hand has always been very pleasant. Have played here many times and glad the new ownership kept her.

Gem of a Course

This course has a beautiful layout and is, with small exception, well maintained. The practice areas are solid and the staff is usually very kind.

My only challenge with my recent rounds is that I’ve experienced a odd number of what I am certain are golfers. Today I sat behind a group of 5 of these varmints as they spent 20-25 minutes on every hole. They must be under the assumption that since the cell service is non existent that they’re playing a round in the 1940s, where a 6 hour round was acceptable.

Most people would gripe about there not being a Marshall, but clearly they operate with minimum overhead and thus I benefit from cheaper prices.

My only suggestion to management would be to provide paintball guns or pellet rifles so that we can allow our evolutionary instincts to solve this issue.

Honestly, great job to the grounds staff and staff at the shop. I appreciate you guys!

The Pugh

For my first time playing it was kind of difficult to follow wholes on the back nine, otherwise the layout was great. No indicators where Whole 18 was.

Well cared for grounds. Didn’t loose any balls.

Pretty Good course.

Make more effort to give deals to out of town Golfers, make the drive worth it. Also when you order a item from your Food menu, make sure the customer gets what he paid for.

Well thought out!

Pleasantly surprised by the condition of the course and the thoughtful layout.

Water, mounding, tricky greens and contouring make for a great outing.

Course continues to improve

River Oaks condition was very good and the greens are in good condition and fast. They were also actively

mowing the rough and blowing leaves. Weplayed in 3.5 hours. The senior rate is very fair. Be sure and pick the right tees for your skill level as wetlands come into play on many holes.

Would Not Honor Gift Certificate

I won a gift certificate to River Oaks Golf Club in a charity golf event. I gave it to my husband so he could take his brother in law golfing. When he presented the certificate at the club house, he was told that the certificate was "too old", and they would not honor it. Nor would they give them any kind of discount to play as compensation. Needless to say, they were very disappointed, as they had driven 45 minutes to get there. I think this is very poor customer service, and we will never play there again.

River Oaks offers its sincerest apologies for being unable to honor the gift certificate you presented. River Oaks is under new management and ownership. The gift certificate presented was five years old and not valid as of August of 2017. We apologize for this inconvenience.

Love this course.

Always a fun course. Greens are a bit fast so takes a few holes to get putting under control. Nice wide fairways and just enough trouble to make it fun.
