River Oaks Golf Course

Best thing about the course is the Greens , should be half the price

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.

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

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!!!

Nichole was very rude and there are holes that are closed down and make shift holes putting on fairways at some points

Nicely maintained tee boxes and fairways...good value

River oaks could be a nice track but whoever owns it doesn’t put any money in making it great. It doesnt drain well. The tee boxes and bunkers could use a lot of help. They only good thing about the course it that it’s affordable!

Course had bottles, trash all over it. Even found a dead raccoon while playing! Disgusting!!!

Reserved a Tee Time on golf now and when we showed up no one was there. There were a few other groups and we all decided to play and settle up when someone showed up. Evidently the manager showed up while we were on 3 at noon and called the cops on us who wanted to write us trespassing tickets. Terrible management

Played on 9-26, course is back to being in good shape. Greens are good, fairways mowed short and the rough is fair, you wont loae balls in the rough line at Harborside and Calumet CC.

Staff has been working hard on the course conditions and it shows. This a good course, take advantage of the good price before it gets too busy again!!

Decided to golf a little later in the week and this was the only course available with tee times. The cost was only $30, so I was not expecting much. While the amenities leave much to be desired, the course itself was not bad and provided some challenging layouts. If you are looking for an easy, cheap 18, this is the place to come. I will definitely be back.

Have been playing here since early 80s. Never seen it in this bad of shape. Fairways rock hard, crusted over with dry mud, clover. Sand traps have only gravel and weeds. No one here on a beautiful Saturday and I can see why. Won’t be back for awhile. What a shame

I think this course was a good buy, for the deal on golf now and it was very affordable, I really like the course variety, there is a lot of challenge throughout the entire course, and not just the front nine or the back nine, overall will keep coming back again and again.

I've played this course many times throughout the years and have generally found it to be in decent shape, and good value for the money spent. Now I realize that we have suffered through a very wet spring and course conditions everywhere are not what they should be, but our round yesterday was awful. If you did not hit your ball on the fairway, the rough was 3 feet in length and unplayable. Finding your ball took forever, slowing play drastically. In our estimation, many areas of the golf course had never been cut at all yet this season! In short, we will avoid returning this year. One more thing: The greens were decent, but there were numerous divot holes that needed to be repaired on every green. This is not the course's fault, but the people who play there are indifferent to taking care of the course.

In short, avoid at all costs until the grass gets cut.

Greatest course ever? No

For $20 with a cart? Yep... I’d do it again and again...

I hadn't played this course in 20 years. I remembered it as a nice course to play . . . 20 years ago. Well, that's not what I found out in the present. There were a number of tee areas that were so hard you need a hammer to get the tee in the ground. I broke multiple tees. The fairways are hard and barren of any real grass as they are thin and unwatered it appears. The ball runs forever is the only advantage from the sparse thin fairways. The staff was very nice was the only plus (check in and starter specifically). As you can tell, it will likely be another 20 years before I return.
