Greens gone

The facilities are nice. They have a good course layout. The greens are unplayable. All the greens were weed infested so bad that the ball would would bounce around like a pinball machine. Just two years ago I would have recommended this course. I hope they can take care of the problem this winter.

Course greens in extremely bad condition

This was the first time I played this course. The course itself was not in an extremely bad condition but the greens were horrendous. It was a disgrace to call them green. It was full of crab grass, weed and grass less patches. The ball instead of rolling was hopping around on the green. I have played many courses and this course should not even be on golf now specially for such a high price. An extremely bad experience.

River Oaks is struggling but may make it this time

The course has potential but the greens are a disaster. They are working on them and hope to have them ready by next spring. Once on the green it is a two putt rule and then pick up. Helps the overall handicap! This course will play for most amatures once the greens are healed. But for 10 bucks it works better than paying $8 for a bucket of balls.

Needs work

I enjoyed the round. The course was in fair shape, except for the greens. They were in terrible shape, but the course told me that before hand. Putting was a bit difficult.

Rustic golf

Course just reopened after flooding . Course is going to be fine after the greens are smoothed out. Nice to drive into the countryside where nothing exists except pasture and Walnut orchards,and this little gem of a golf course. Worth the drive

Greens are bad!

The greens are in horrible condition, it will take awhile for them to come back...$35 is not worth the round. The staff is friendly and provide good customer service.

Usually very good but frustrating experience:/

I've gone to river oaks probably 20 times over the last year and usually love it. However, yesterday I showed up and they informed me that only the back 9 is open and that I'd have to run down my cart partner. After being very rudely dismissed by the check in attendant, I talked them into giving me my own cart and went to tee off. Since only 9 of the 18 holes were open, I hav e some ladies cut me saying they were "finishing a tournament". The pace of play was super slow. Normally, i can finish 18 holes in 3 to 3.5 hours. I finished 9 in 2.5 hours and left after that. I will go back, I will just call now every time before I go, especially making the strike from Sacramento.

The front nine was close and nobody told us. When we got to first tee, there no markers. So we went back to the club house to ask what was going on. Then they finally told us the front nine was close. Didnt give us a reason why either.

River oaks

My first time playing here. I loved the course but was only able to play the back nine, front was closed due to ground water seepage. Was not aware of this until we arrived, was told that course had advised last minute tee times of closure. Not a problem for us we played the back nine twice. Staff was very friendly and accommodating. Will definitely play here again. Loved discounted price.

Only a nine hole

It would have been nice if we were told we could only play nine holes at the time of the reservation. And only offered 5$ off because it was nine holes. Pretty shady

Pathetic

I have played this course multiple times due to it being close. It is over priced for the conditions every time. This time however was the worst. Due to the excessive rain we've had in the area it was back 9 only. We waited for twilight at 2pm to pay $25 instead of $49 to only get the (unaware) back 9 only. Pace was very fast however once we got to 14 we were followed the final holes with a small utility vehicle with a sprayer attached to spray the greens. Once we finished 18 we weren't allowed to go play the back 9 again to complete the 18 holes (full round) they happily charged us for.

ZEEKAAA & WEST NILE VIRUSES!!!!

Great course. Had fun. Good for amateur & advanced player. The only criticism is the mosquitoes. Too many of those Lil critters all over the place. Very annoying.
