The Golf Club at Rio Vista is a public, 18 hole golf course located in Rio Vista, California. Membership options are available.
Rio Vista first opened for play in 1996. The final 9 was completed in May 1998. The course was designed by Ted Robinson.
The name Rio Vista, or "river view," is indicative of the wide open scenery, golden rolling hills and glorious peaks that make the backdrop for every swing.
The layout in this setting where river delta meets rolling hills incorporates lengthy open fairways and generous but challenging greens. Rio Vista spans 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.
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.
Located in Northern California's wine region, Rio Vista is located mid-way between San Francisco and Sacramento, about one hour east of the Bay Area and 40 minutes south of Sacramento.
