I play the Mountain 9 course almost weekly. Generally it's a good pace and can walk it anywhere between 1hr30 and 2hrs. Occasionally you fall behind a school tourny and then it will be 3hrs. If you see this ask the pro shop if you can just jump on River or Pine.

The course is generally always in good shape. Depending on the tee box marker location, it can be nice and flat or badly sloped. Fairways have good coverage and play fine. Rough is always an issue here as it can get cut to 2" or 6" right next to it. Bunkers are fine and the greens are actually pretty nice. They are on the slow side and don't break much, but they are usually pretty smooth.

Just recently played here for an annual tournament. This course has seen better days. Tee boxes were good, fairways had some patchy grass and some areas super firm, greens rolled fine but were super slow. Some sand traps had a bunch of rocks and the sand was very firm.

Played Saturday 7/11 @ 7:45AM. Wonderful pace for a weekend. Just over 4 hours for our foresome. Course is playing nice which is usually is. Tee boxes were fine, fairways had good coverage and greens rolled true.

Played a four hour round Thursday morning on the Creek/Stonehouse nines. The staff is always in step and check in goes smoothly every time. The carts are pretty plush with everything one needs and then some. The GPS in our cart was extremely accurate and Bluetooth speakers connected without a problem. The tee boxes were in nice shape with total coverage including the par three holes on both nines. The rough has finally been cut to a perfect height for holding up off line shots. Finding your ball was pretty easy and hitting from the rough was doable. The fairways have been trimmed down as well and the thin sections have filled in nicely. Hitting from the fairways was a pleasure and provided decent roll. The traps were all raked and just slightly damp. I found several and playing from them wasn't an issue. The greens were in excellent shape with a noticeable speed difference on the two nines. The Creek greens were much quicker but held approach shots good. The Stonehouse greens held well also but were damper and slower. The Stonehouse nine was in really good shape compared to my last round many months ago. We generally walk the Oaks/Creek nines but Stonehouse is not an enjoyable walk. Always recommended

Played this morning with visiting family members from out of town.

We found the course to be in good shape in all areas.

Tee boxes are clean and playable.

Fairways have great coverage lies and rollout.

Rough was playable but there enough other areas OB, creeks, culverts to be wary of as well.

Traps were all playable and most of them had been raked by previous players. Nice to see.

Greens are good size and have undulations so playing to the right spots is crucial based on the pin location. Today they had them in fair locations and the greens were rolling very nicely all round.

Great customer service from all in contact with.

Nice driving range and putting green to prepare one for their round.

Along with Rancho Solano Fairfield has two of the nicest public courses to play golf at in this area. And still reasonably priced.

Played here this morning in a POP of 4 H.

This a Ted Robinson design originally opened in 1996 under the name Summerset then became Rio Vista Golf Club and is now named The Golf Club at Rio Vista.

The course is open to the public $54 with cart/no GPS weekday rate regardless of age. Its a 55+ community so many members have their own carts and no doubt pay annual dues to the club.

The original design has been brought back to life and its great. A wonderful collection of holes and over 6,800 yards from the Championship tees and 5,300 from the Forward tees. With a slope of 73.6 and a rating of 131, it is a true test for any level of golfer.

Having played here not long after it opened I was looking forward to playing it again. But also worried about past bad reviews and operational issues.

To my delight I found a very nice golf course that is being loved and cared for by the HOA and Shea Homes.

"This is a links-style course. There are ten lakes, numerous bunkers, and waterfalls highlighting the design. Fairways are spacious and forgiving, although there are out-of-bounds areas on each side. The signature hole is #18, a 372-yard, par 4, which features a large pond that comes into play 100 yards in front of the green."

The water holes are intimidating and w/o local knowledge one can easily get into high digits. So we made sure we drove up and looked at many holes before we either teed off or hit 2nd and 3rd shots.

I think all of us found the course to be in very nice shape, though a little soft from lots of watering and many areas of sod repair.

But the tee boxes were all great.

Fairways had excellent coverage and good lies. But little rollout.

Bunkers were all fine and I heard no complaints.

Very little rough at all to deal with but having the water hazards and the wind was more than enough.

The wind this AM was probably 5 to 10 miles an hour and gusts of maybe 15. It died down later in the round but being so close to the Sacramento river and delta + the flatness of the area one can assume the wind will always be a factor when playing here.

The greens are large and undulating and are in excellent shape. I fixed 2 divots today. Both of them mine. Have not seen greens so devoid of divots like this course. Members take good care of them.

Excellent customer service in the shop. Restaurant on site but did not visit.

Two areas of concern I have for the course is (1. Location is on Hwy 12 between I 5 outside of Stockton and I 80 coming from Fairfield. And the road is under heavy construction at this time. Anyone familiar with this stretch of Hwy knows well the problems one can incur. (2. The wind. I am not sure it is ever very still and will always be a factor.

But if you are a fan of links golf then you won't be disappointed if you chose to play here. It is a recommended course to play.

played sun 7/5, 8:40 tee time, 4:40 round. nice cool am, got warm by end of day. Course in pretty good shape. Greens running about a 10. I enjoyIthis course. It's challenging, need to stay below the hole on these big greens. Restaurant is good. Cart girl going around. Hilly and fair, but difficult.

Played in June, 830am shotgun, cold windy day. First time here.. a fun hilly course overlooking the golden gate bridge... but it was foggy this am. Some areas were a little soggy. Greens running medium speed, tricky. A really fun muni in good muni shape. Small range. I would like to play here again.

Played here in June for the first time, 830am shotgun. Surpassed my expectations. I remember watching this on TV and not being impressed, but it was a really fun layout. Parkland course, but a lot of interesting shots and beautiful all around. The course sits underneath Olympic Club, so it's fun looking up at that course. Lots of walkers, so a few unfilled divots. Rough is sticky. Greens were medium speed. I walked in 4:15. Nice cool day. a little bit of wildlife. I would play this over and over if given the chance.

Played in June on a Fri, 1130 tee time. Second time here, and it was one of my top courses, and it was as good as I recall. The renovated since I was here last, and I can't tell you what was different, but its a quality course, with awesome holes. Greens are fast , huge and undulating. This is definitely a course you need to play often to score well. Tons of deep bunkers. This is a top 15 course I've played, #1 public in Nor Cal. I wish this was my home course.

Played in June, thursday 2pm tee time. warm day. 1 club wind most of the day. Required forecaddy helpful, nice guy. Course reminds me of a fancy wente vineyards. It was fun, with a lot of fun holes. Caddies and course knowledge crucial for scoring. Course great shape, as it's exclusive and taken care of. Greens running medium speed. I left a few putts short. Resort is fabulous, with spacious villas. Restaurant nice. customer service great everywhere, from the valet to the front desk to the golf course. For the price,and required overnight stay, it's not one I would do again by choice, but glad I did once.

Had a fast round Thursday starting at 10 finished in 3 hours, that was the positive. Full price $60 (senior) Love the layout but course is in rough shape. Forget bunker play your hitting off hard or water filled weed infested bunkers fairway and green side. Fairways wet and puddled water everywhere can find good lies but have to move ball a lot. Greens OK not to fast and for the most part good coverage. Course could be good but maybe they need to close one of the two and spend the money on one?
