Solid course for the price

This is an overall nice track for the money. Course was in good shape. It was about $10-15 cheaper for an early weekend round than similar courses in the Sacramento area. It requires a little bit of a drive, but its a good deal all around.

Great course & practice facility

Love this course. Some challenging holes, especially #11 from the back tees. Note the greens were a bit spongy taking my putts away at the end. A couple times you could see a groove like the greens cutting machine tire sunk into the green. But it could be anything. I would pay attention to this. As the ball slows down, the grooves pull the ball away. Probably letting the greens grow a bit due to heat. Noticed this elsewhere as well lately too. Just something to know for now. But this facility has made significant course improvements & is one of my favorite as a result.

Great place to walk a course and enjoy the day. The staff was friendly and bathrooms were clean. My only downside is that there’s no rest rooms out on the course.

Great golf

This place is great to play. If you’re looking for a course to have a great time and have a little challenge but not to much this is it. 15 minutes out of Natomas out in the country. You can’t go wrong! I will play here again. The greens are nice and kept up really well. Not to fast of a green but very steady role. Enjoy and Cheers 🍻

River Oaks - a Worthwhile Joyrney

I played on 6/19. The course is in beautiful shape. It's very playable, and yet a good challenge. Greens are in very good shape. I'll play yere again. The fries in the clubhouse are excellent, too, and a great bargain at $3.

Nice course layout, in good condition

I enjoy playing the course. Pace of play was okay, short wait on a few tees. Course is in excellent condition. Only negative, drill closed early. Finished round about 4PM. We were looking forward to enjoying the beautiful afternoon with food snack, so that was a disappointment. There are many food options in the vicinity .

River Oaks Golf Course

They really improved since they were taken over by a new owner! The fairways are in excellent condition and the greens have filled in nicely. Even in the rainy season, the drainage is better than other courses with higher playing fees. Only thing I wished they had was a marshal to get the slow players moving and maybe a beer cart. After finishing your round, follow it up with a cold beer and tacos! 🌮 Trust me the cook knows how to make REALLY GOOD TACO!! Draw back is kitchen closes by 3-4 pm. I recommend this course to seasoned players and newbies that like a wide open field!!

Improved conditions, courteous staff & greens crew

Haven't played this course for a couple years & I'm extremely inpressed w/ the greens crew. Great work & thank you! Plush fairways, consistent cut rough & tee boxes, greens a bit soft but true roll. Noticed a couple dirt bunkers, but most very well maintained. Grass range has a slight slope but it's grass. Who would complain about that! Pro Shop and food & beverage inside very nice & courteous too. But note they close up at 4:30pm while there are many people still playing & there are no water jugs or cart going around. But I will be back & look forward to it.

Well maintained golf course

Very nice flat course situated out in the country, surrounded by walnut tree groves. Great course for less accurate players. Still have shot after wayward drives. Would definitely play it again.

Great Day

Amazing practice facilities. Sand trap practice area along with driving range and putting green.

Was going to hit my shag balls but probable 80 golf balls left on practice area

My only complaint is there is no water on course or drink cart. Stock up on a hot day

Diamond in the farmland

Not expecting much off a long dusty highway but was pleasantly surprised by the lush fairways, well manicured greens and quick pace. Greens were a little slow but well maintained. Fellow golfers were courteous and respectful. Staff were quick and efficient. Highly recommend, keep up the good work River Oaks!
