The only golf course in Oxnard, River Ridge Golf Club offers 36 challenging holes, two courses, and four sets of tees ranging from 5,362 to 6,777 yards. More than eight acres of water features makes these championship public courses superbly beautiful. The Scottish links-style Vineyard Course is famous for its bent grass and Poa Annua greens. Holes three through six "on top of the world" offer magnificent ocean panoramic views as they are at the highest elevation in Oxnard! The layout plays as a par 35 front-nine and a par 37 back-nine, and the finishing hole is the signature "Island hole." Other River Ridge amenities include an all-grass driving range, two chipping and putting greens, a well-appointed pro shop, cafe, outdoor barbecue area and a banquet facility.
