A nice challenge
The course is a nice challenge with nice scenery and views. The conditions were superb for early spring. A very enjoyable round.
Worth course ever
Worth course I ever played on.. Like play in a cow pack
I'll not play this course again
war zone
Course and club were being logged for development. Very very muddy. Missing signs on course and greens had been heavily sanded. OK for a practice day.
Nice course. Offers some challenging holes.
I was pleasantly surprised at how good of shape this course was in for mid March. The fairways where green and tee boxes where in pretty good shape for the time of year. This course offers some challenging holes with a lot of hills and some blind shots. A tough play for your first time, but very fun. They are doing a lot of work on the course, but I'm sure once it's completed it will be an excellent condition overall. The only downfall was they just aerated the greens and they where sandy, so I cannot offer much of a review on them.
Nice course
Haven't played the course in over 5 years, much improved since then! Nice course! Doing a lot of work to the course but still tons of fun to play. Course was over seeded and in good condition!
Go play
Love this course. The set up is great and in good shape for this time of the year . Great staff.
Critique of Golf Now
The course manager did not know that I was coming. He worked me in just fine but I wouldn't always expect the same success.
Good course / great value
Nice layout around developing neighborhood - tight fairways but every hole different. Tough to tell yardage on some holes. Recommend if you are in the area to play as it is very easy t get to just off RT 40.
Great Course
Well maintained course that overseeded fairways for the winter. It has bent grass greens always in good shape. Course is a fair test for most mid to low handicapers. The high handicapers will struggle here as it has lots of elevation change and requires accuracy to mid sized fairways and greens. One of the best for the money in this area. A must play.
River Oaks in the fall
Beautiful course and a beautiful day. I could have picked an easier course after my 4 year hiatus, but I always liked this course and had not played it under the current owners. The course has done well under new ownership. The first hole has been shortened and made much easier but the rest of the course was as I remembered it; challenging. Tee boxes were good, fairways were great and the greens were perfect. It was a wonderful fall day with temperatures in the early seventies and nothing but sunshine. All of the fall leaves had been blown off of the course and into the wooded areas. Great experience.
Hidden jewel
It is a beautiful mountain course. Such a challenge course I want to come back again.
Super golf course
Excellent, I recommend you play here , This course is very well laid out with beautiful views . All greens where is great shape. Tee boxes could use a little work but other than that this course is a must play course. It is conveniently located off of I-40.
Wow, What an Awesome course
Wow , Just played this course today , 10-10-14 and it is now one of my all time new favorite golf courses. It is extremely well laid out with awesome views and great condition. The fairways where stripped and every green rolled consistently and all where in super shape. Tee boxes need a little work but all in all, I would rate this course a must play. I will definitely play there again and it is conveniently located right off of interstate 40.
Excellent layout
Absolutely beautiful course great layout not too difficult but challenging staff was super friendly
Great Course for the Money!
Very impressed with the course. Challenging but fair. Greens were in good shape and rolled good.
Well worth the drive
Excellent course for the price. A very beautiful layout. extremely challenging for a first time as tons of blind shots.
A Great Course
River Oaks has changed so much since the new owner took over. Easily the best course in Iredell County. All the staff have the attitude that they are very appreciative of your business. This is usually what is lacking at the golf courses these days. Every hole could be on a post card.

Great value
Lots of risk/reward shots. Price during the week is $29 and the course is well worth it. Very well maintained. The challenge in it lies in the tight fairways and the fact that on 5 holes you have to shape your shot. You can choose to hit it shorter yardage...but if you want that full driver or 3 wood....you have to shape your shot so it presents something different than the average course.
Good snack bar area that serves up fresh sandwiches...cheesebruger and chicken are my favorite. Great staff, good carts. If you're in the area you can't wrong playing this course.
would not acceot my golf now voucher
The course was probably the most difficult I have played. The greens was excellent and once the fairways green up,this course will be in really good shape. They would not accept my golf now voucher but did extent that price that I paid to our round. Just have to wait for refund from golf now.
