River Oaks Golf Course

I always give River Oaks a break because there is so few options for public golf in this area. But after today I have to call out the current state of this place. The lady at the front desk is rude and combative. The Range balls are mostly trash. The Range is mostly dirt. The "redesign" of the front 9 is wacky. The Greens are trash. The Twilight is at 5:30, which is later than I've ever heard of. I get this is a small business, and I bet they have a hard time staying open. But you have to have some level of quality for what they are charging. I'll be sad when they are gone, but I won't be visiting much while they are here.

Staff is always helpful. Course has been redesigned a bit. Nice place to get out with friends and hit some balls!

I've been going to this course a little half a year, never had an issue before yesterday. What I use to love about this place was that if you and your buddies want a last minute tee time at a simple going course this place is there for you. We show up at 1:30 ask to walk on they said the next available tee time is 2:45. Weird but we accept and just hang out on the putting green. Some dude keeps coming up to us smoking clearly not a golfer but they were chitchatting with him inside so he must be a regular. About 2:30 we look over at hole 1 to see if we might be able to get on early, there's a group of 3 kids teeing off walking so we wait a couple more then head inside. Everything's going smooth until we once again go to tee off on 1. There's two more kids in addition to those 3. But they are barely teeing off while kids who previously tee'd off are finishing the green. 6 hits from each golfer later it's finally our turn. 3 men finished hole 1 before each of those kids even tee'd off on the next(we did have carts.) They were kind enough to let us go through, we rushed and went to hole 3. The next 2-3 holes our golf is constantly interrupted because these kids are hitting in our fair way taking their time on recovery shots. The kids were nice but still was less than enjoyable. We go along finish hole 8. It's about 3:50 we were told carts go in at 4:30. Instead of hitting hole 9, we wanted to change it for hole 2. No one is over there so we tee off on 2, about to finish up, haven't hit onto green yet. Before I continue I'm pretty sure the marshal is some older gentleman who wears a straw hat (no beard) I could be wrong. The poor excuse for a man that showed up yesterday to tell us to turn the carts in was overweight and had a beard. He already came with an attitude so I drive to go pick up my ball near the green. On my way back he yells at me "AND ILL MAKE SURE YOU GET BANNED FROM A CART FOR THAT MOVE YOU JUST PULLED RIGHT THERE!" I'm confused at the whole thing and asked him what I did, and according to him I did about 12 donuts in the middle of the green and messed up all of hole 3. After arguing back and forth with him about what I did I apologized sincerely, but he still had an attitude! I reply to him "if I drove on the green then my bad dude I didn't mean to ruin your day with that." He replies "you didn't ruin my day you ruined your day now your banned from cart." I replied "I didn't ruin my day I played good golf until you showed up."he was PISSED LOL. He replies "yeah well I'm still going to follow you guys in." He's speaks in a horrific unprofessional, immature tone like everyone should be kissing the feet he walks on. When I go inside he can even be man enough to look me in my face when I tell him to have a good night!! What a poor puss!! I would be embarrassed if I was River Oaks employing someone like this.

Hi Pam,Not sure what part of this review is inaccurate. I was not complaining about the weather, I was complaining that then tent flooded. As a business you should've informed us of this possibility instead of us finding out on our wedding day. I'm not ungrateful, I'm a hard working mother who was fortunate enough to win a wedding, and I have the right to share my experience with others to hopefully prevent the same bad experiences from happening to them.

Worst golf course I've ever been too. Staff are children . Course is disgusting. Green fees are skyrocketed . Don't golf here / plain and simple

Well tried River Oaks again... waste of money, might as well play in a pasture.... Tee boxes are a total joke, and you better take a hard hat and a flak jacket for 17 and 18 dodging errant tee shots from up on the hill, guess they don't understand " if it ain't broke, don't fix it".... NEVER GOING TO WASTE ANOTHER PENNY HERE!!!

I honestly don't write reviews but I felt the need to do so today. For starters, I am a 26yo multi-sport athlete & not some middle-aged Karen with a BoB haircut driving a 2017 Toyota Sienna. The course itself was fine for the 209 region with the back 9 better than the front but what was not great was the customer service from the clubhouse. Played as a group of 3 and charged double compared to my friends. When asked why, lady had no reasoning even with proof of bank statement and were unable to do anything. A secondary lady was rather rude and told us to "call back tomorrow" and get it figured out while we were inside talking to them. Random dudes yelling at us to stay off the tee boxes with carts even though we were behind the car signs & some dude who works there drove up while we were mid swing talking about repairing our divot marks even though we had been all day. Willing to give River Oaks another shot in the future but was honestly at a loss of words for how the experience went today made me not wanna ever come back. Keep in mind we are all respectful young men just trying to enjoy a nice round of golf. Maybe in the future I'll play here again but for now, I'd stick to Creekside, Dryden, Manteca, & Jack tone. This course is pretty much comparable to Dryden but the staff in the club house were exceptionally nice over there.

The course is coming back they are taking care of the greens it is a labor of love and time and it's got an iconic shot on hole 10... it's a great deal!

I will never come back and golf at this establishment . A man named Phil told my friend "he was so full of shit his eyes were brown" and he made us step off our tees and let a whole set of people go hit before us and the people weren't even done putting yet .

I try to play here twice a week when I'm in town. Tuesday and Thursday are discount days, but the course is wide open Monday Wednesday and Friday. I can usually get the round in less than 3 hours.Friendly staff, and great facilities.
