River Oaks Golf Club

I was surprised with the course being as interesting as it was. A layout in the middle of walnut orchards and other nut trees, I think, does not conjure up visions of aesthetic outdoor activity. They were harvesting walnuts, so the dust was quite bad on holes 2&3. It was a nice layout, extremely fair and a little bit dangerous with tee boxes in the line of fire on more than a few holes. Most tee boxes were green with a carpet of clover, not grass. The greens were good and held most approach shots like a dart. I liked playing the course except having to wait on every single shot. That's not fun, but I guess for a 11:30 tee time on a Thursday, it's to be expected I suppose.

The men’s bathroom in the pro shop / dining area / kitchen area which are all adjacent to each other. It smells like dried urine and this was first thing in the morning!! Smells worse than any dive bar bathroom at 2 am. Seriously people!?!?

Because of the proximity to the dining area I will never again order anything to eat from this place.

On another note. Please hire attendants checking us in that are friendly or at least train them to fake a smile towards paying customers. I’ve played here about five times in the past year and never have I been greeted with a smile or gratitude for my business.

Fairways and tees a bit ragged but very playable. Really appreciated that carts can go virtually anywhere (always respect just in front of greens). 98° heat. Slow group in front of us were oblivious - group in front of them ahead by 4 holes - we were at 10th tee with them and they didnt even consider inviting us to play through (2 hour rnd that should have been 90 minutes).

Greens not that fast but in great condition. Really friendly check-in. Good carts. Good range and putting green. Loved the $35 replay fee (includes cart). Very green course - lots of huge oaks, but pretty open course.

The course is in overall good shape , they have definitely put some time and $$$ into the course this year and it’s paying off !

Fairways and rough cut down greens we're aerated recently but ball rolled true on difficult slow

The course was in terrible condition. Weeds all over the fairways. No direction signs for new players. No drinking water on the course. The course failed to mention greens satiation so putting was almost impossible.

I wasted my time and money

I like this course and I like the value, but there was lots of crab grass on the course today. Some of the tee boxes had pretty long grass also. The greens were in decent shape though.

The is in good condition, the green also, looked beautiful. However, the greens were dreadfully slow. Other than that, a good day on the course.

I've played River Oaks quite a few times over the last few years. The course is a very nice, no-frills, course out among the orchards along the river levee. The course has always been in good condition and the greens are always nice. The practice area is all grass, no mats. The only negative is there are no on-course water jugs, so bring your own.

I've always liked this course. If you look at it on a map, or just the scorecard yardages, you might think it's just a simple little course. It is not. It has plenty of tricks to it.

This course is well worth your money and time.

Oh, and the bloodymaries are absolutely the best around. ;)
