River Oaks Golf Course

River Oaks Golf Course is an 18-hole course located in Calumet City, Illinois, south of Chicago. The course's defining characteristic is the Little Calumet River, which winds through the property and comes into play on 14 of the 18 holes, making water a significant challenge throughout the round. This water-heavy design creates a distinctive playing experience in the south suburban landscape.

The course operates year-round, with tee times available when conditions permit. River Oaks is part of the Forest Preserve Golf network, which manages 11 courses throughout the Chicagoland area. The course offers various amenities including golf lessons, leagues, and hosts tournaments and outings. Membership options are available through Forest Preserve Golf's seasonal pass program, which provides benefits such as unlimited range balls and advance tee time booking across all affiliated locations.
