River Oaks

Course was in very good shape. Some times course was hard to follow. Was very slow due to be placed between 2 tournament It would be helpful if this could be noted to help make choice of tee times. overall it was an enjoyable experience.

River Oaks

Greens were in great shape. Fairways and tee boxes were showing neglect because of the drought but still quite playable. this course would normally have numerous water hazards but because of the drought they are empty. Oak trees are not a problem on almost all holes. without water hazards the course is wide open!

Terrible tee boxes and fairways, thick greens

I like the course layout here. You need to hit it long off the tee, and it has a few challenging holes. But the conditions have always been at best fair. Especially the fairways. Doesn't matter if it's been raining or there is a dry spell, the fairways are least to be desired. As for the staff, very friendly and accommodating. I will be back to play again because I like the challenge it provides. Great practice facilities with grass tees, bunkers, putting and chipping areas.

Cart Paths terrible & direction of your next fairway difficult to find.

We had a foursome, and the appeal was the wide fairways, but it was very confusing finding where the next fairway was, & lack of grooming was apparent. The course was very disappointing.

Good price

This is a young course. It was fine for the price. A bit far for the overall experience. About 40 min drive. The weather and the drought played into the course conditions. Staff was friendly.

Need Some Course Knowledge

Hadn't played this course probably in 10 years. Remembered a couple of the holes but that didn't help. Hard to find yardage markers was the only problem, (going to get a GPS unit soon), as the course was in very good condition. Greens were excellent, sand traps could use a little more sand and the fairways were very good, just a few wet spots. Has a little bit of everything, water, sand traps, drop off areas and blind shots. Had two holes that we had to look at the scorecard to see where it went. A course that is worth playing for anyone. We picked a perfect day to play, New Years Day, no one out there and the weather was cold for the first few holes and the sun came out and we had the course to ourselves, almost. Like the course and will play it again.

Very muddy

Greens are in good condition, fairways are muddy and they lack grass. I have played this course over 50 times, due to resent rain, this is the worst condition I have ever seen at this course.

Great greens

Greens are in great shape, fairways are fair to poor as are the tee boxes. Pace of play was very good, a sub-four hour round.
Layout a bit frantic, holes very close together.
Overall not a bad day of golf, especially for
the wintertime.
Would return, just not too often.

Fun layout, not maintained

This course could be fun but the maintenance was terrible. No difference between the rough and the fairway and the grass was really patchy. The greens were decent although a little slow.

PLAYED LONG

Due to cool overcast weather and still very wet from a storm a couple of weeks ago, the course played very long for drives and second shots on par 5's.

Bad Holiday Round

My sons and I went to play a round and it was a very slow process the whole day. Groups were behind on the first box which set the tone for the whole day we were going for 18 but after 2.50 hours for the front nine we decided not to endure it any longer. The management gave me a rain check so that was very nice of them. I will go back to play again but not on the holiday schedule they have. I do enjoy this course it plays to my style of game. It is well kept for most part a starter would have helped on this day to keep things going every hole there were 2 to 3 foursomes.

Fun course to play...

Fun to play and usually not real busy... Greens are much better than I have seen in the past... Tee Boxes need Improvement... New sand was being put in the traps, very nice to hit out of now...

Country Stroll

You're out in the sticks, near Feather River, off Hwy 99, just past the 99/70 split to Marysville. If you like valley golf, then this is your place.

Peaceful, serene, open, not too hard, not too soft. 69/126 from blues and measuring 6,005 yards. GPS didn't square with course yardage markers (i.e., plays longer). Good architecture, but they got rid all the lakes but one, that I can remember.

Didn't lose a single ball all day, even though struggling to get off the tee. Two pars going out and one par and one birdie coming in. Nothing else to brag about except several "should have made" putts that didn't go in for bogey or better. :-)

Yes. Tee boxes shaggy, but level. Greens slow. Course wet, but no standing water.

Closer to Sacramento than Plumas Lake (real nice course too).

Play it. You sure to like it. Good value and pace of play.

Enjoy!2
