Golf Advisor: Top 25 Most Improved U.S. Golf Courses (2022 #5)

This course is really a hidden gem this year. The entire course is in amazing shape. It's obvious it is being watered. Most courses in the area are like playing in concrete. Not this one. Great job River Oaks Staff.
Changes Needed Badly
Overall I have nothing against this course. It used to be a very nice course that is both challenging and beautiful. I love the great amounts of water it holds. My challenge is its current layout with the closing of Hole #12. It makes for a logistical and statistical nightmare....esp if you're using electronic technology to score and keep track of your golf game. Fix the bridge or contact the GPS apps to update your course (which is probably the more practical thing to do).
Until those changes occur, unfortunately I probably won't be back. And this is probably the closest course to my home.
I also don't understand why municipal courses charge extensively more than private or public courses do for golf carts ($18 vs $10 on average).
However the staff was extremely engaging and friendly but the course needs some TLC. A lot of unfixed divots in fairways. Overall I give it a 3 rating and that's being kind because the staff was so great.
I was amazed on the course condition since we haven't had any rain. Our was obvious the whole course is watered. Great job river Oaks
Fun Course to play
Challenging and fun course to play. It was in good shape and the pace was very good . I try to play there 3/4 times per year and always have a good time.
some fairway work needed, Greens in great shape
Had not played this course in several years because it was not in good shape the last time I played it. This time , overall, it was much improved. We were very pleased.
