Golf Club at Rio Vista

History

This 18-hole, 6,800-yard Ted Robinson creation has made quite an impact in Bay Area golfing circles since its debut in 1996. Located amidst a thriving active adult community near the Sacramento River Delta, Rio Vista has a slope rating of 127 and water is a prominent feature throughout. Rio Vista's four par-5s measure 502, 546, 488 and 491 yards, respectively, which allows more casual players a chance to hit greens in regulation and better players an opportunity to give themselves a go at eagle. Add in greens described as "fast and somewhat tricky" by its resident pro and it's little wonder that the NCGA's handicapping system identifies Rio Vista as one of the more challenging courses in the Bay Area. The signature 18th hole is a classic: dogleg into a prevailing wind, bunker protecting the corner, lake fronting the green, waterfalls gracing each side. Pure golfing heaven. And to reaffirm all that, Rio Vista was awarded 4.5 stars by Golf Digest's "Places to Play." Learn more
