Surprised and Disappointed

Trilogy I always thought had a good product. The course conditions was possibly the worst I ever experienced. I played only four holes. I would not play this course again if it was free. Their webpage also is miss leading, they indicated there was a driving range which was removed years ago.

Once nice course, not anymore

This used to be a nice course but not anymore. Fairways are in terrible shape, bunkers are hard and most are wet. Greens are very furry. It will be a long time before I play there again

Interesting Course

The layout of this course is very interesting! There are holes that are very challenging and some , not so much! Fairways in horrible condition. Greens are kept! Tee boxes need some love! It will be awhile before returning here!

This course was fun

We were paired up with 2 other golfers, but we had a great time. It looks like there is a bunch of holes, tee boxes, and bunkers under repair, likely due to all the rain we received this winter. But it was a great time.

Golf with Strangers

I had a great time, but the course continues to require improvement. This is the third time in two months that I played at the course and can see it getting better and better. I will go back this month for further evaluation.

Got a good deal and was pleasantly surprised.

Got a good deal and was pleasantly surprised.

Based on reviews past few years, was not expecting much but you can see how hard they are working to improve this course - greens were really good ( challenging and incredibly good conditions)

Sure, parts of the fairways had issues but overall very playable and fun.

Big improvement !

This was only my second time playing Rio Vista, the first time was two years ago and they have made massive improvements since then ! Most of the bunkers had sand and were well maintained, some bunkers were still unplayable, every green was in amazing shape although as others have said they are very slow, the fairways still have some bad sports but you can tell they are working on it, I would recommend playing here again if you haven’t in a while, for $41 on a Friday morning with a cart it’s hard to beat.

Has potential

I played this course because it was a great deal on Teeoff.com at $21. Upon checking in the nice man told me that the course was being rehabilitated from a previous owner. Overall the couse was in good condition with 3 exceptions Greens were VERY slow maybe a 2-3 stimp , Fairway bunkers are filled with grass and the rough was way too long. I lost 4 balls in the open rough with decent drives. That's Very frustrating and all of the golfers I spoke with on the course had the same opinion.
A bit more rehab and I would try this course again

Windy and needs some good repair.

As always the Rio Vista course had plenty of wind to slow me down. It was not as bad as before pandemic. There were several potholes and sinkholes in the fairway that were quite rocking to drive the cart on. They were agonizing, even hurting my back. The wind picked up its velocity quite a bit. Pace of the play was great because of the wind, they’re just a few players on the course.

Going back to Rio

The last time I golfed at Rio Vista was an unforgettable negative experience. I was very disappointed of the condition of the course and the unfriendly attitude in the club house. This time I had a much difference and pleasant experience. The course was in much better shape and Bessie was a very pleasant lady to talk with. I also very much appreciated Jessie the courtesy drink cart for she was kind and considerate. I will go back to Rio and play golf there again. .
