For River Oaks Golf Club (formerly Rio La Paz), its biggest charm is its location and excellent golf value. Set near the Feather River, 17 minutes north of Sacramento off Highway 99 in Nicolaus, California, the course offers a chance to play golf in a peaceful, natural setting. The par-71 course designed by Peter Jacobson, plays 6,505 yards from the black tees, 6,037 from the blues, 5,401 from the whites and 4,740 from the reds. Most of the fairways are wide and generous, but hitting approach shots onto the course's target greens will challenge low handicap players while providing a fair, enjoyable round of golf for all skill levels.
