River Oaks Golf Course

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.

Fairways and tee boxes are very dry! Could have used a hammer on some of the tee boxes. Got a lot of run on the ball in the fairways, unfortunately I got a lot of weird bounces that too some shots into one of the many ponds on the course. Also there were a lot of geese everywhere on the course and a lot of goose poop, even on the greens! Won't go back, until it rains.

Always liked River Oaks, just wish that the conditioning of the course could improve some. The course is rather short, but has enough trouble to keep any other than elite golfers honest.

Always love to play this course each hole has its own character you will use all the clubs in you're bag. And you need to say high to all the staff.

Course is decent but had several golfers cut in ahead of us which greatly slowed down pace. It happened in front nine then again on back nine. Greatly disappointed. But learned a lesson

Course is challenging enough on some holes to make for interesting play.

This course is a great place to play for beginner to moderate golfers. There wasn't a lot of bunkers or water hazards and it is open enough to hit a stray shot or two and not lose a dozen golf balls. The back nine had some tight fairways on short holes to make it more challenging and overall is not a bad place to play. The length of the course is great for someone who doesn't hit the "long ball".

The pace of play was terrible - the round took 6 hours to finish with carts. The holes on the back 9 were quite terrible - much less visually appealing than the front 9 and all the holes on the back were very narrow. Combining the stop start nature of the play with this narrowness made it very hard to get in any kind of rhythm or score well.

The course is not maintained great. The fairways are long and the sand is terrible. But the greens are in decent shape.

I went there for a quick round since i had a few hours to kill in the afternoon. I ended up pairing up with a guy i met there.

The staff was very nice and they were happy to help with getting things ready. The course was very wet and muddy. Some areas were not accessible due to the flooding.

Played on a windy but warm day and the course was playing good. Not much roll if any due to soft fairways. Greens look really good and were soft. Putts rolling smooth. No debris in the fairway or greens and pace of play was good for it to be a busy day.

Went off with golf buddy's as a 3 some the course was in decent shape for this late in the season. River oaks finally has new golf carts hooray! the Fairways were good shape with the exception of hole# 4. There is always casual water on that hole due to the pond on your right. The green were running very slow due to the excessive moisture they were soggy with the exception of hole #16 which ran average.
