River Oaks Golf Course

I always love Riveks. The price is always right. The greens are tough. The course is in good shape. You’re not getting the best course in Chicago you’re getting the most affordable and it’s pretty well taken care of. The people are friendly, the course is challenging. There’s some goose poop you gotta watch out for. Other than that I’m a big fan.

Starter was super cool and courteous! My friends and I had an enjoyable round of golf. Please consider a beverage cart. It would be a welcome service.

There is a serious drainage problem throughout the course. It hadn’t rained for a week yet several holes were flooded. Please fix the bridge on the 12 hole!

Staff was not friendly. Said good morning to multiple people including the starter and got no response. Course conditions are awful. Bunkers are unplayable and filled with water. Tee boxes ripped up bad. Overall very poorly maintained. Not to mention the approach to tee off on hole 12 requires you to drive your cart down the middle of a fairway. Hard pass.

First time playing river oaks this year and it was in great shape. The greens were very receptive and rolling at a good speed. Round only took 3hrs 7min starting at 9am so you get 5 stars from me for that because weekend golf can be brutal

Carts weren’t available so they stuck me on a push cart and I had to walk, plus the starter couldn’t figure out what group to put me with as a single and changed their minds 3 times. Had to wait on a dude stumbling his way down the fairway wearing a cutoff t-shirt and Jordans. Not worth it considering there’s so many other courses around.

Course was in decent shape except for the sand bunkers. Not raked at all!

A fun course that unfortunately has some drainage problems. Lots of soaked spots even in summer heat without much recent rain. Still a good value. Big greens and big bunkers. Several tricky placement shots. But the weather has to be right when playing here.

I have played this course many times in the past, though not in the past several years. I was shocked to find that the old 12th and 15 holes were eliminated.

The new layout forces a very awkward walk up to the new 12 tee box along the fairway where you are basically in play the the entire walk.

With this hole configuration, the old 15th hole, which was a really challenging dog leg par 5, has been broken up into two holes(par 3 and short par 4). the old 15th was the best hole on the back nine so it's a shame that it was lost to the new course layout.

Still a good course for the price, but I much preferred the old layout and hope that they find a way to bring it back in the future.

The course is well kept. Still getting use to the configuration on the12th hole. The green at 14 is so much better.

Good golf day. 8 am tee time friendly staff. Greens and fairway in good condition but sand traps need to be filled with sand more mud than sand for sure the only issue at this course. Pace of play on weekends not for beginners everyone seems to pass those guys up recommend weekdays for beginners

Walked all 18 holes. Nice course with fast greens.

Course in excrement shape. Only improvement needed sand traps need sand
