Tee boxes are not grass but mats. Greens are absurdly small, bumpy and weird. The tree line encroaches the fairway that a straight shot may still get hung up by branches. I’ve played plenty of executive courses but this was funky. Staffer was kinda rude when checking in. I was the only person on the “course” because the locals clearly know this place is best used for the bar and the driving range. 2 stars because the area rug sized greens were at least green.

Good greens, good pace of play. Easy to walk and affordable. Some tough shots in there due to tight tree line forcing accuracy over distance. Fun course, will go again!

If you are trying to get a better feel for the game and don’t want to play an executive course, Diablo Hills is the course for you. Includes a par 5 to keep you sharp and a few par 4s that you can drive the green for eagle chances. Fun course and better atmosphere than Buchanan golf course

A fun and challenging course but the greens run slow and the hole cuts are rough. Still very nice.

Loved playing this course in the past. I know it was closed for a while and you can tell with the greens which are half brown. But for the price, this place is fun for the price with good pace of play. And the conditions will only be getting better under new ownership.

I've gone to river oaks probably 20 times over the last year and usually love it. However, yesterday I showed up and they informed me that only the back 9 is open and that I'd have to run down my cart partner. After being very rudely dismissed by the check in attendant, I talked them into giving me my own cart and went to tee off. Since only 9 of the 18 holes were open, I hav e some ladies cut me saying they were "finishing a tournament". The pace of play was super slow. Normally, i can finish 18 holes in 3 to 3.5 hours. I finished 9 in 2.5 hours and left after that. I will go back, I will just call now every time before I go, especially making the strike from Sacramento.

With all the intense rain this winter, I wasn't optimistic about going to play a round. But when I got out there, there was very little mud and the greens were impeccable. Very impressed by the course conditions and happy I took advantage of the break in the rain.
