River Oaks Golf Club

The course is not a bad layout. I have played there many times. A new group took over a couple of years ago and they are operating on a tight budget. The desk person is a very unpleasant, gruff woman who does not have a clue about building the customer base. She rules with an unbending and arbitrary attitude. She overcharged me on a expired Golf Moose voucher and told me to call Golf Moose if I didn't like her answer. While Golf Moose informed me that the handling of these types of situation is up to individual course policy, they agreed that it could have been handled much better. I will not be returning to this course unless they get a new person to handle the desk and keep their rates commensurate with the condition of the course.

Nice track, pace of play a bit slow for me. Still a good value for what I payed for the round. Front and back nines didn't mess togather. Like 2 different courses

I recently received a Golf Moose coupon for River Oaks GC, in Nicholas, CA. I was unfamiliar with the location until I met a buddy at River Oaks GC to play a round. About 35 minutes n of Sacramento in acres of orchards. The day was quiet and pleasant.

The clubhouse is the restaurant, they keep it simple.We grabbed an electric cart and went to the range, a small simple area to warm up before teeing off. We also tried the putting green, which was not fast.

After a small wait, we hit the 1st tee. We had a slow foursome in front of us, and a group in front of them so it was going to be a long day (which was fine because I had plenty of cigars and beverages).

During the round, I was struck by the quiet pleasant feel of the track. Plenty of tress, not too many.. Some water, not too much. I did enjoy a few blind tee shots, which made you think about how to consider the 2nd shot (which to me is fun).

Overall, my buddy and I agreed that we enjoyed the round and would return. As a side, we ordered a beer and a sandwich afterward, which was tasty and well priced.

See you next time, River Oaks GC.

We all had a blast and I will definitely be booking again with you guys. The transaction was very smooth.

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.

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!

This course is top notch from the staff to the food( carnitas tacos were amazing and only 7 bucks).to the well maintained true greens. The staff was super friendly. Play this course if get a chance.

I love this course. price is good and course is in great condition.

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.

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.

Got to play this little jewel today. Great layout, pace of play was fast. Greens in good shape, balls roll true. Beautiful course in great shape!

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

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

Much improve must play green are excellent condition

Very good course and location. Fairways and greens are maintained very well.
