Golf Course Review River Oaks Golf Club Nicolaus California

Reviewed by: Deepsea14, Granite Bay

5/12/19 early out on a sunny cool morning start. Golf Moose special rate for two plus the early weekend start time extra fee. Worth the rate. My kind of golf, set the brisk pace let a couple singles through. 3.5 or less POP
Course condition is in good to better than good right now. I read the older reviews here and didn’t know what to expect as I have not been here for a couple years. Happy to report that course is playable and fun. “new” management in third year doing good job.

Greens good to better than that rolling med to slow holding lines not to undulating medium sized mostly. The cart paths are a little confusing at times (front going to 4th tee and to 7th) and the back (12th to 13th and sight line for tee shot on this par 5) Your eye sees the 14th green straight out but the hole doglegs over the right sand trap. Green keeper helped get us reacquainted. Good mix of shorter longer holes. Fairways good rough maintained and the bunkers OK with material but need TLC to fluff up in my opinion for more consistency.

Friendly staff well stocked 19th Hole.

Out of the way course unless you live in the area. River levee, and surrounding walnut farms borders course nearby rice patties are seen driving in from east.

A fun easier track went here to build confidence to elevate my game for the more golf challenges to come this spring summer. Did that; Recommend.
