Great Potential
Great course layout, has potential to be one of the best in the area.
Cons:
-lots of broken carts make for occasional shortage
-maintenance could be better, one hole on the back 9 is in embarrassingly poor condition.
Hot trash
Front 9 is decent. Fun layout, but course conditions were sub par, back 9 is absolute trash. The 15th?! Hole was a par 3 literally stuck in the middle of a fairway. The “green” cannot be caked that without quotes. I feel robbed of money and I played on a “hot deal”. Don’t do it.
Course in terrible shape and I requested a refund
The course was in horrendous shape with hard ground, bald grass areas in the fairways, tee boxes were like concrete as you attempt to place a tee in the ground, Hole 12 was closed and the course was modified with 2 holes replacing the next Par 5 on Hole 15. River Oaks was in the worst condition that I've ever seen.
We appreciate your feedback and have been actively working on course improvement projects in recent months. These are ongoing and still in progress. We understand that there may be inconveniences during this time. We would like the chance to discuss this with you further. Please reach out to the golf shop directly.
The worst
Close down until the course is in playable conditions. You can't have mountains of dirt and rocks in the middle of every fairway. Your green and tee boxes look as if they haven't been touched since last year.
Course should be shut down to make improvements
This was the worst course I have ever been to. We could barely tell where the fairways were. They had orange flags, which we thought indicated the middle of the fairway. But no, the fairways were filled with 3 foot deep holes in which my friend accidentally fell into. We couldn't find half our balls because they had white bird feathers everywhere. There was also tons of bird crap. Bird crap was on the fairway, on the greens and even on tee box. We had a hard time not stepping in it, had to spray our shoes off afterwards. Trash was all over the course. Terrible mud puddles in front of the greens. Not maintained at all. The best thing about this course was that you could leave it and never come back. I would not recommend this course to my worst enemy.
R.Oaks, Cal. City - under construction in 2020
This place should be discounted. R.Oaks, Cal. City - under construction in 2020. This place should be discounted. Hard and bald fairways. This place should be discounted. Under renovation - 12 deep holes [sprinklers heads] down most of the fairway. This place should be discounted. Hole 12 was closed. A hole was then poorly created by splitting hole 15 in half EXCEPT there was no real putting green. Yikes. Tee box markers were missing on hole 5. Other holes only had 14 of 6 markers. This place should be discounted.
This place should be discounted until renovations are finished.

Worst course I’ve ever played
This was the worst course I’ve ever played. Poorly maintained. Most areas were so hard it was like playing off concrete.
Used to be nice.
I callled to see I could schedule an early morning single was told nothing available until 10am. booked a 6am twosome. No one was there to open and unlock carts. A groundskeeper unlocked the cart at 6:15 an apologized. (later brought us out a score card. His rating is 7 stars!). Grounds crews could have cared less about the golfers. A single jumped in front of us and then held us up on about 6 holes. A single behind us hit into us. The fairways are in bad shape and one hole is completely closed. Used to be a nice course.
Fairway not cut rough not trimmed, sand traps horrible
Do Not Book Golf Here
We booked a Hot Deal on Saturday at 11:40am. We arrived 20 minutes before our tee time, and noticed online that there were still a ton of openings for the day. When we arrived we saw maybe 25 people waiting to tee off. We were told “oh it’s going to be a while” when we checked it. After speaking to some others waiting we found out that the 9:45am tee time still didn’t tee off. Meaning they were over 2 hours delayed with no reason given. No weather issues or anything like that. River Oaks only has Hot Deals, so you cannot cancel for a refund. They do this to screw the customer only. They purposely overbook and give the customer the choice of waiting 2-3 hours to tee off or be down $80+. Just a horrible business plan. We couldn’t wait because we had a party to go to and lost out on the money. The WORST part was that they didn’t remove the openings online. So I’m sure this happened to numerous others the same day. Golf Now needs to remove this course as an option.
Nice track, not in great shape though
Really friendly staff. We got off just fine, no real traffic ahead of us at 6:20am tee time. Course has seen better days. The back 9 is a little jacked up since the 12th hole has been eliminated and they've split the par 5 15th into 2 holes, a par 3 and a par 4. A little strange since they don't have the new holes marked yet and your GPS will be off of course. Overall, nice time. Still like the layout.
Like that most holes are different and really good value
Most holes are different a few holes you have to position your ball to get to green sand traps and fairways could be better but for what you pay it’s really a great value staff is friendly and the manager Nicole always very welcoming and friendly
Thank you so much for your review! We appreciate your feedback and hope to see you back soon.
Short but tough
Course has a great layout. Some holes really make you out a tee shot in play, especially with a long iron. I also had an ACE on #6. 153 par 3 with an 8 iron!!! I will definitely be back for another round!!!
We appreciate and value your feedback Jdelby314. We are thrilled to hear that you want to come back and we hope that you do!
Nice course
Nicely maintained tee boxes and fairways...good value
