River Oaks Golf Club

I have played this course many times. Not in the greatest condition, but very playable. The greens are always a little spongy, meaning you may not get a consistant roll on the greens. Greens can be hard to read. They do not "roll" the greens here--they just cut them. But the greens are in very good condition at this time of year for the hot summer months. I did NOT encounter any mosquitos this day, being that the course is next to a river. Always a good idea to bring bug spray or bug cream though just in case. I had a nice round. Sand traps in very good condition. Teeing areas can be improved though.

Had a great time. The course was in good shape. The greens were soft and good for scoring. The weather was in the mid nineties, but not too hot.

The weather was perfect, and the greens were soft. I had a wonderful time.

The course is remote. However, it is laid out well and is in great shape. Not much difference between the tee selections. 200yard drives leave you with a mid iron to most par 4s while a 250 yard tee shot puts a wedge in your hand. Regardless of GIR the putting surface is extremely slow. I would like to see it mowed and rolled to take advantage of all the contours.

Pace of play was good. Course conditions were O.K. Greens a bit slow. Fun course to play. My only recommendation would be to put some water jugs on the course. Water is available in the clubhouse.

The greens were in good condition and most of most of the fairways were good too. The heat is hard on the fairways. I like the course.

Our tee time was 7:20. They didn’t open until 7:00. Bland design. Thick grass so your ball is likely to sit up in the fairway. Decent bunkers. Slow greens. Excellent pace of play.

Overall the round was good. Nice course and layout. However, the green were unusually slow relative to many other courses. They seem to be “fuzzy”. First time playing the course, perhaps they were soon to be cut/rolled. Because they were so unusually slow, I did not adjust my putting stroke for just one round, which cost me serval strokes. I will likely play the course again, and then determine if the slow green are normal. Other than that I recommend the the course.

A fun course to play not too much trouble and usually in good shape !
