River Island Country Club

Beautiful morning to ride up to River island Country Club. We haven't played the course since the rains and flooding in January of 2023. The Course is under new ownership and the work that has been done is obvious and extensive. When completed this place will be fantastic. new irrigation system new bridges, tee box's, 14 new sand traps have been added, rebuilt greens, new cart paths all new golf carts with GPS, bathrooms have been remodeled in clubhouse new beautiful bar driving range has been rebuilt the clean up has been massive. Major construction is still underway on some areas of property but it doesn't interfere with your challenging round of golf. We checked in with Aden in the pro shop he was very helpful and informative. We played from the forward tees. The course is playing hard and fast it last rained over 6 weeks ago. Most of the greens have been seeded and will be great with more time, now they're very very super fast, your shot in will not hold. The shots to the greens must be played short, your drives will roll out. It was a fun challenge to change your style of golf for these conditions. Every day this course will improve. The $35 green fees for seniors is a deal. The restaurant and bar at the 19th hole is outstanding lots of TV,s and beautiful views you won't be disappointed. Say hi to Karen Take a drive up to River island

River Island is back!!! Just played the course and compared to this time last year, the course is in great shape....next summer, it will be AWESOME!! Definitely playing it again soon!!!

Just played at this course for the first time and it's one of the best courses I've ever played, I heard they were renovating everything and believe me they did. New tee boxes, new carts, and beautiful views everywhere, also the people there are the nicest. I recommend you hit the big gas station on the reserve right before you hit the course for your tobacco needs, they have everythingggg. Besides that the greens still need to be worked on but everything else was awesome. They have a par 5 that's 600+ yards, most difficult par 5 I've ever played but I still got a par

They really need to update this place. The bathroom was gross. I was told the men's bathroom was worse with evidence of toilets running over and wetting the carpet in the hall. The event room is neat but incredibly outdated. Keep the chairs, they're in great shape and comfortable. If money is the issue borrow for the updates and then you can charge more. There's an opportunity to make it a really great venue aesthetically. A side note...the staff did a great job. The bartender made the drinks strong.

We love RICC. It has been a wonderful place for our family to enjoy in the safety of socially distanced fun. They have moved their chef outside to serve some quick bites before or after you do a round. Service is always great and we love it.

Great golf course for a day trip, but I DO NOT recommend getting a membership. Not only do you get charged extra for random green fees or maintenance fees, but it is a nightmare to cancel. And the staff that has the ability to cancel your membership is never available and when they are they are EXTREMELY RUDE.

Just attended a wedding there. The chef, (Phil) is amazing. They went out of their way to accommodate any, and all requests by the wedding party. The food was wonderful, (and great food in a buffet is always a tall order), and the service and attentiveness was spectacular. I'm sorry to say that I've forgotten the name of the party organizer, because she deserves high marks for her customer service. The only reason I didn't give it 5 stars, is because the building is dilapidated, and filthy. I was shocked when I looked at the carpets and the tables. The ceiling in the main area tells a story. They need to invest a little money into repairs and cleanliness. It is still a beautiful property. Just needs some fine tuning outside. Take down the Christmas wreath, don't hang hand made signs, etc. Please see photos.

Very nice local golf course for players who aren't in a rush. The facilities are always updating for the local community. The club house is super clean, and restaurant bar is is fantastic. Super friendly help.

Greens were challenging but fair. No map on scorecard or cart, didn't know where to go half the time. Fairways and rough were not kept up. I think the only good thing is the cute and polite female bartenders they have working there.

I will never return here to play golf. I am an avid golfer and have played numerous courses throughout all of California and have wonderful things to say about almost all of them except for this one. The club house staff was one of the worst I had experienced. I called before traveling over 100 miles to ensure they were open and I could play a round. I was told the greens had been punched yesterday but that I could still play a full 18. When I arrived they told me I could not and had to play the back 9 twice and would not honor a discount of any kind. The course was in worse shape than most municipal courses I have played. A fair price for this course would be under $20 so to say it is a good value would be a gross error in judgment. I will never be back and wish my time and money had not been wasted. Steer clear.
