This is not a golf course

The greens are...they should not be considered greens. Some of them, had patches impossible to avoid., some others had been so damaged by divots that the ball trajectory would be changed dramatically. The fairways were nearly acceptable. Im never going back. No marshall at all
Sad to see such a great and challenging course design be so abandoned.

We sincerely apologize for the unfortunate experience you had before. I'd strongly urge you to come see the transformation we've undergone since Austin Community College took us back over in November 2015. We think you'd be pleasantly surprised!

Course is in fantastic shape

I've played this course many times and this is the best shape I've ever seen it in. Greens were nice and rolled pure, fairways were well groomed, and tee boxes were good. Pace of play was a little slow but overall a very enjoyable round on a well maintained course.

Great Price, Great Layout

Greens in great shape, a little sandy, but rolling well, fairways were muddy on the first 4 holes, but we had tons of rain the previous week. Small Greens that really challenge your irons and wedges, but never overly punishing for bad shots. For the price, as good as any of the other courses charging double

A mixed bag but OK overall

First, the pros: fairways and tees in decent shape, carts pretty new, staff is friendly, good price and a good value overall. The cons: very slow play on a Friday, they let a five-some on the course; most greens OK but 2 or 3 were poor; there was beverage cart service but we did not see anyone for 11 holes and then when the cart arrived it had almost nothing left to sell. So its a mixed bag experience and if I had paid more I would have been disappointed. Still, I'd recommend this for most golfers except the most demanding, for your everyday hacker like me its a good value and experience.

Great local go-to

Love this track, and always the best prices in town. It's in good enough shape as well, to justify choosing this over plenty other local courses. Back nine is a super fun layout as well, particularly Love holes 13 & 14

Great Greens

Since this is the old Austin Country Club, the layout is really great and it’s in very good condition. The greens are full and fast. I highly recommend this course.

Best value muni in Austin

RIverside GC is the former Austin Country Club, now part of Austin Community College. Staff is awesome, the greens are in great shape on most holes. Tee boxes can use a little work. Par 5s are reachable in 2. Very walkable course. Great value!

No middle tee

Would be nice to have a senior tee, white too long, red too short.

Course was pretty rough

Yes, we have had a bit of rain, but the course was in pretty bad shape. Yes, grass is dormant now, but again, there really was hardly any grass.

Not to nitpick, but course wasn't worth it. Need to fix some of the drainage issues for sure. Cart path only 3-4+ days after rain is kind of silly.

On the positive side, I got a ton of steps in!
