River Oaks Country Club

Truly spectacular. We had the buffet tonight with an astounding array of delicious options: 4 salads, 7 fruits, 4 meats, 6 vegetables, and about a dozen deserts all beautifully arranged. The wait staff is so friendly and helpful and the mood is festive but not loud.

I was here for the Clay Court Championships. I enjoyed the walk from my car to the club in this beautiful neighborhood. It was fun hanging out in River Oaks for the day with all the Old Money. The setting and small court provides a great atmosphere for tennis. There were a lot of empty seats. I think ticket prices are too high. SRO is a good deal though.

This is one of my favorite places in Houston, and it is within walking distance and i love places where i can walk to!
The golf course is amazing, so very serene, and relaxing.
Great place to hide from the city.
Thumbs up!!!

What a beautiful place!
We hob-​knobbed with Houston’s FInest Cowboys and Cowgirls last night at a benefit gala for the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation. The event was the Ben Johnson Memorial Cowboy Classic.
The country club is one of the oldest and by far, the friendliest I have ever had the pleasure of visiting. The staff was on point, professional and always accomodating. They served us a 3-​course dinner with grace and lots of charm! the food was very good. We had a petite filet topped with lump crabmeat and a bearnaise sauce on the side with perfectly grilled asparagus and roasted fingerling potatoes. The best part? The homemade vanilla topped with your choice of fudge or butterscoth syrup. The butterscotch was heavenly (Jocelyn, our server, even gave me a second spoonful!)
Parking was easy and valet service is available of course.
My advice? Pinky out!

I used to come here for tennis tournaments when I was younger. I came back today to play on the golf course and decided to take a tour of the facilities. This place is just beautiful with its intricate architectural landscaping. This would be a really nice place for a wedding reception. This is by far the nicest country club I have been to in Houston.

Beautiful ballrooms, pretty landscaping, sophisticated people, and stand-​out architecture are all here. I’ve really enjoyed events here.

Came here for a wedding and LOVED it. The staff is great, the place is beautiful, and the grounds are perfect for photos. It has a very classy and timeless feeling. It’s also very clean and my favorite out of the handful of country clubs I’ve seen in Houston. I wish I could go to more weddings here!

Just went here for the second time and was invited for a Dinner Party. The atmosphere was elegant, bathrooms very classy, and the décor was fancy. It’s a great place to hold a party or special occasion. Definitely coming back here next year if the dinner party’s held here again!

Went here for a Rehearsal Dinner, a really really nice rehearsal dinner. There was at least 600 people in their large Ball room. I had never been to the Country Club, but had always heard stories of its elegance and opulence. They were all true. It was like being taken back in time to what some of the olden times of Houston used to be like. The ballroom over looks the well groomed golf course and even at night it is beautiful. The meal was also well prepared. When catering for this many people it can be tricky, but the Clubs chefs totally pull it off. The Bride and Groom specifically requested baskets of their famous fried chicken be put on each table as well as the main course. I had also heard stories of this legendary fried chicken and I must say it was some of the best. I couldnt imagine the epicness of what it took to put on such a grand party, but the River Oaks Country Club did it perfectly.

Came here to watch the River Oaks International Men’s Clay Court Championship. I must say it was fun to watch tennis so close up! Small stadium with not too many seats is always a good thing. I got to watch James Blake sweat it up with Ryan Harrison. I must say, that 15 year old kid is gonna be kicking ass and taking names before we know it. But anyway, I leave my tennis criticism aside. The men’s doubles match was also fun to watch as we snuck up and stole someone’s front box seats (hey they weren’t there anyway, and all the tickets cost the same).
Everything was great except the crowd. A lot of screeching teenagers, which confused me completely, and some pretty stuck up and nasty old rich people. I have never gotten so shoved around in what one would normally consider a pretty high etiquette locale. Now, I know how to behave myself in social situations, and that does include saying «Excuse me» when you want to get past someone. I guess money doesn’t buy you class.

Wow. I went here for a wedding reception and it was the most beautiful event I have ever attended. Simply gorgeous! Yes, they spent a ton of money and yes, it showed.
The ballroom was just the right size and the lighting/​décor was lovely. The service and food were good, but the food didn’t blow my mind. The veggie dinner option (again, they were told in advance) was shit — bow tie pasta with vegetables, in a mysterious bright yellow sauce which completely lacked flavor.
Houston, we have a problem. You might not like it, and you don’t have to, but there are people in this country who don’t eat meat. Sometimes they come to Texas. You have to feed them.
