River Oaks Golf Course

River Oaks is the 380th course that I've played, and the course stands out because of it's unique location, layout, and vegetation - some holes look really narrow off the tee (but aren't), while others look more open but narrow as you get closer to the hole, making a fun and challenging track! Unfortunately, I only had time to play 9 holes, but I found the front nine to be in excellent condition in spite of the 100-degree temps SLC has been experiencing the last 2 weeks. I can't wait to come back to see my new grandson in late September and play the back nine!

Good course, but clear your entire day before playing here. We passed the marshal on hole 8 while we were already 35+ minutes behind pace, and instead of helping move things along, he was wandering through the bushes looking for lost golf balls. That pretty much sums up the pace of play. I’ve played here a lot this year and I’ll keep coming back because the layout is genuinely great. But I have never once finished on time, let alone early. It’s so consistently behind pace that at this point you just have to laugh. If you’ve got nowhere to be for the next 7 hours and don’t mind your round falling apart because you’re waiting 10-15 minutes on every tee box, this is the course for you. Beautiful layout. Fun course. Absolutely bring snacks, a charger, and maybe a sleeping bag.

While the course is always well maintained, the recent events make this a one star. A couple weeks ago I was going to play around there, and this is right after the good good / Callaway overreaction occurred. I was wearing a good shirt and a good good hat. So that on to what they did to the 5A girls Golf state championship a few years ago and the way you considered the girls that day, I will not ever be coming back to this course.

Beautiful golf course. From the limited perspective of a rider (non golfer), it is an enjoyable course. The course was busy and backed up at times but we went on Sunday of Memorial Day so we expected just that. I can't comment on the course difficulty myself, and my boyfriend is 3 weeks into golf so I'm not sure we should trust him either.

Had a great experience at River Oaks Golf Course yesterday. I made one of those last second decisions that I absolutely needed to golf, checked a bunch of courses, and somehow found a single opening at River Oaks about 30 minutes away. Since I was booking as a single, I had to call in, and the staff could not have been nicer. They even checked a couple times to make sure I could actually get there before my tee time, which honestly was a fair question. I rolled into the parking lot with about one minute to spare looking like a man trying to qualify for the Masters. The staff stayed friendly, got me checked in quickly, and made sure I got onto the course without any stress. I ended up playing the back 9 and had an awesome time. The course was in great shape and had a really good balance between challenging holes and ones that let you keep a little dignity. There are definitely some hills, and as a walker I wondered halfway through if I had made a terrible life decision, but by the end I was really glad I went. Fantastic course and really great people.
