River Oaks Golf Club

River Oaks Golf Club sits in Nicolaus, a small unincorporated community in Sutter County at the confluence of the Bear and Feather rivers north of Sacramento. Nicolaus occupies the flat alluvial lowlands at the edge of the Sacramento-San Joaquin Delta's northern reach, where the river levee system that protects the valley floor from seasonal flooding defines much of the landscape. The area is predominantly agricultural, with flat terrain supporting rice cultivation and other water-intensive crops suited to the heavy soils of the northern Sacramento Valley.
