Where Great Food Meets Even Better Views

Experience Dining at River Oaks



When most people think of River Oaks, they think of its premier golf course, beautiful fairways, and stunning views of the Mississippi River Valley. But for many guests, one of the best-kept secrets at River Oaks has nothing to do with golf at all - it’s the dining experience.

Whether you're finishing a round, meeting friends for lunch, enjoying a date night on the patio, or simply looking for a place to relax with great food and a great view, Eagles Bar & Grill at River Oaks offers an experience that is uniquely Cottage Grove. With scenic overlooks, a welcoming atmosphere, and a menu packed with favorites, it's no surprise that many guests return just as often for the food as they do for the golf.


A Patio View Unlike Anywhere Else

One of the first things guests notice when arriving at River Oaks is the view. Perched above the Mississippi River Valley, our patio offers panoramic scenery that changes with every season. From vibrant summer sunsets to colorful fall foliage, every visit provides a different backdrop.

It's the perfect place to unwind after work, catch up with friends, or enjoy a meal outdoors. Overlooking both the golf course and the river valley, the patio has become a favorite gathering spot for golfers and non-golfers alike.
