Gem of a course

Challenging par 3 from black tips. Water hazards and tough putting greens.
Greens were aerated few weeks prior so ball rolling were not true.

Near Perfect Day of Golf

If not for the 10 - 16 mile per hour gusts of wind the round would have been perfect. I had a terrific time at River Oaks.

Always fun

If you pick your times and temperatures you can pretty much play as fast as you want. I played as a single yesterday and finished in 2 1/2 hours. thanks to courteous 4somes letting me through. Few players when it gets very hot in the afternoons.

Coming back into great condition

River Oaks has come a long way from being closed due to the flooding back in 2017. Fairways are almost entirely grass now instead of clover and crab grass. Grounds crew is doing an excellent job maintaining the course. Looks like some trees went down during this years wind storms. My one complaint is there isn't a starter. My tee time was approaching and a threesome came driving up and teed off. They were either really late for their tee time or they jumped ahead and I was held up for the entire round

Second time I played this course.

Teed off at Noon and we were done by 3:35 pm. Joined up with 3 other players who were equally skilled.

Beautiful weather and I like playing out in the orchards (much better than around houses).

Driving range still needs to fill in but appreciate hitting off the grass instead of mats.

My cart had little to no power.

I will come again.

Water

Several holes with water challenges - which is fun.
Absolutely no drinking water stations on course - which is awful and will keep me from playing there in the Sacramento valley heat. Get some water stations on the course!
