The RIVER Course
At 6,830 yards, the Par 72 River Course is challenging but not punishing. The moderate central California climate and meticulous maintenance provide excellent year-round playing conditions. The fairways appear wide but mounding along the sides requires accuracy to avoid side-hill lies.
The front nine finishes with a 172 yard Par 3 that plays down a hill and across Alamo Pintado Creek, which runs the width of the course. The back nine opens with the No. 2 handicap hole, a 430-yard Par 4 which plays downwind with the tee shot through a chute of trees. As your round culminates on the 18th green, golfers are invited to experience the full beauty of the River Course from the terrace of our full-service River Grill.
River Course Amenities:

- Full-service restaurant, the River Grill
- A PGA professional staff for private and group instructions
- Equipment rentals including electric carts, hand carts, and clubs
