River Oaks Golf Course, located in the South Valley of the Jordan River Bottom Area, is a challenging course where golfers can often have some wildlife encounters. The course offers beautiful scenery featuring plenty of trees and water, adding both beauty and challenge. The links-style golf course has a good variety of shots with some fairways that feature thick cuts of rough. The water that is present on the course is creates very tricky water hazards that come into play on some holes. The 14th hole is notable difficult. The River Oaks Golf Course facility also has an enormous driving range with natural grass.

I wasn’t playing well today and it’s just a tough course where you have to place the ball well so probably a tougher course than I should play for now but it is a good well maintained course

Another challenging, enjoyable round

River Oaks GC is a challenging course for me, but one I enjoy playing because it requires strategic and thoughtful decisions in many holes; it isn’t a course that I hit driver off every par 4 and par 5 which is fun and challenging; knowing your club distances and playing clubs consistently come into play each time I undertake a round which is what brings me back; I have not mastered any of the holes, but I have played just about each hole as well as I could, but not every outing which is frustrating at times but what brings me back; the staff was very friendly, and the course was in good shape; there were a few drought affected spots on the holes, but they didn’t affect play much; I wouldn’t encourage beginners to play this course because there are many trees and lots of water hazards, but it is a course that will challenge every player.

Great round

River Oaks GC is a challenging course from every tee; I the holes aren’t particularly long overall, but golf skill is needed to play the course effectively and to score well; the staff was very friendly and courteous, and the course was in very good condition; there were very few obvious areas affected by the drought.

Great course layout

The course is tucked away but in the city.
How do you do that?
It's a fun course that travel to from Layton almost every year.

Like this course!!

River runs threw it, lots of cat tails on all sides of the course.. Lots of mature trees along the fairways. Nicely manicured course and is nicely priced.

Great course

This was my first time playing this course and I really enjoyed it. Some of the holes were a bit challenging, for me anyways, but it was nice to play a different course. The staff was friendly and the course was in great condition. Will definitely go back and play again.

This is my home course

I love River Oaks. It is a great layout for me - with forward tees where I can picture my best game one day. Just at the edge of my range - but I am closing in.
Greens were nice - a great course.

Take Lots of golf balls

I lost 6 golf balls on this course, fairways too short, out drove them, wetlands all around course, his a good ball and if it rolls into the wetlands you cant find it. All in all one of the worst golf experience I have ever had.
