Fun times

Brought my nephew, his girlfriend and my wife with us on the course as spectators. It was just my nephew and I that played while the girls took videos and pictures. Had a great time all around. Afterwards we had sumptuous dinner and drinks at the clubhouse. Awesome day spent !

Swampland

This place needs to close down until they grow some grass. It was a swamp. Instead of alligators they have Canadian geese all over. If your drive is lucky enough to find some of the grass in the fairway, good luck finding it. Mosquitoes are out in force, so spray and respray. The layout is pretty nice and the staff are okay. I’m not sure if they have a groundskeeper, doesn’t look like it. Needless to say, I won’t go back.

Goatpatch

Horrible
No notification either through Rio Vista's website, Nor on GolfNow that the greens have been aerated.
Staff at check-in offered no apologies, nor any compensation. There was more sand on some of the greens and there were in the bunkers, fairways, and rough areas that had as much weeds as they didn't have grass back nine was in OK shape the front nine was crap would not play again, unless sure conditions were much much improved

Water too much, muddy fairways.

This would be a great course if they did not flood the fairways every day. I've played this course 3 times in 2 months and every time the fairways are muddy. Greens are great, but the rest of the course is usually muddy from too much watering. Bunkers could use some attention as well, 1/2 don't have any sand in them or they're full of water from irrigation. Not recommending this course unless they cut back on flooding the fairways.

Good course for the price

I've played Rio Vista quite a few times usually early tee times. The fairways are often muddy do to irrigation. You'd hope they could have figured out how much to water without creating muddy sections. Greens were is great shape, bunkers could use some attention.

Constantly Improving

I live at the golf course at Trilogy. The course is constantly improving in maintenance and to me was very playable. Plan to play here many more times, especially since I live near the golf course.

Potential

Greens were great but that was all. Nice layout. Wish I could've played this course when it was new. Hopefully the ongoing repairs are not just a bandaid and this track returns to glory. Nice course means more revenue. Good luck!

Good greens, bad fairways.

The putting greens are all very nice, but the front 9 should be shut down. The fairways are awful. The back nine is in good shape and should be the only 9 open at this time.

Friendliest people around

As soon as I pulled in I was putting my shoes on a man who works there pulls up in a cart and gives it to me so I didn’t have to walk to the club house. The starter in the pro shop was very nice as well. Everyone was hanging out due to Labor Day. The coarse is in decent shape. People were waving from their houses. It felt very good to be around so many nice people. The only complaint is the 3 some playing from the tips. I was a single and pulled up behind them. Never asked if I wanted to play through!! I hope they see this and get some golf etiquette!!! Thanks again Rio vista!!!!!

Layout of the course

This layout is by far one of the best tracks that I have personally ever played on. This course had some tough times about 2 to 3 years ago but the new management there has totally turned it around completely! This new management team has dedicated themselves and are committed to keeping this course in good condition and I know in time it'll be an exceptional golf course and appearance as well as the beautiful layout of the course. I will always come back to this course and I definitely will recommend it to anyone who likes a course that is not completely flat but has elevation to it. The trilogy at Rio Vista is definitely a must play if you have never played it before.

Signature holes

First time playing RV. It has a cool and very playable layout, I was a particular fan of the par 3’s. The greens were fine and somewhat challenging, the tee boxes just okay and fairways were 50/50 (either nice green grass or dried mud). The rough and majority of the bunkers need a healthy dose of TLC. A proper clubhouse and beautiful water features help frame the greens on #9 & #18. The starter, Jim was very friendly. Pop was 4:20 for our foursome, not bad. $40 for a weekend 11am hot deal with cart, it was worth it.

A very nice day for golfing

This course conditions had been improved compared with previous months ago. The fairways were much better now. The were so many sand bunkers and water hazards in place. This course is pretty much challenging.

Course in tough condition

The course layout is unique, the staff was friendly but the course itself was in such poor condition. Dead patches on fairways, standing water on fairways, huge weeds patches on fairways and barely any green groomed grass on fairways. The sand bunkers were pretty compacted and a couple bunkers did not have sand and were just full of weeds. To be completely fair the tee boxes and greens were actually in good condition.
