River Oaks Golf Club

This course is suffering. I have always enjoyed a leisurely drive to this course, 30 miles from my home. The facilities and clubhouse have always been a little worn around the edges, likely due to location, reduced play and economic conditions. The course conditions and facilities have diminished and this business could be the next course closing in our area. My Saturday round began at 11:00AM, and I played 16 holes, playing through only one group, until I caught up to multiple groups, and started playing 4 balls instead of 2. It's just so sad to be a part of the decline.

wide fairways, not so fast greens, quite a few different golf holes not normally seen. I loved it.......a pretty course.....

I was on vacation and looking for something to kill time. This course was recommended by a friend. Good condition even with the drought. I zipped through in two and a half hours.

Very friendly staff and good value for money in the afternoon. Course fairways are somewhat suffering from the drought but very playable and the greens were in excellent shape. Tee boxes could use some mowing. Lots of water stations around the course. Staff was terrific and friendly. I will go back!

I used to play this course all the time when it first opened. I thought I'd take my friend from out of town to play here again. We checked in 30 min before our tee time and waited 45 to be called and decided to just start since they weren't grouping people together. The course was in great shape. The fairways were in awesome shape and the greens were nice and soft (surprising for how bad the drought is). The grass on the tee boxes were a little long which made it hard to put the tee in the ground.
The food was a bit over priced (breakfast: $5 for a pastry and a 12oz can of soda, lunch: $10 for hot dog, chips and a drink). The hot dog was deep fried and then grilled - not sure I've had a deep fried hot dog before- but it the taste was fine.
Our round with 3 players took 4 1/2 hours too play.

This course is well maintained and offered a fair test, with fast greens, large oaks and discreet ponds. The pace of play was outstanding with no crowding on a Saturday and a modest price. The staff was friendly and welcoming working from a no frill clubhouse.

course used to have water in ponds but at least there are no mosquitoes

Well I love to play in this course because you can use you best shots on this long and straight shots tks

We played the course on the 15th and the pace was terrible way too slow too many golfers. Played it again on the 16th and it was great totally enjoyed it.

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.

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!

Excellent place to play, golf course is in great condition.

It was great to get out of town and play this course. It was quiet, flowed well and fun to play.

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.

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.

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.

Crowded but starter was accommodating and let us start on the back 9 to avoid a traffic jam. It was a great day - sun even came out!

first time playing there I will be playing there again soon....fun course I recommend highly.

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.

fairway grass is really long like the rough only. cant really tell if there is any fairway for all 18 holes. greens are good
