Riverside Golf Course
Rating Snapshot
About
Situated along Florida's Gulf Coast, Riverside Golf Club in Ruskin is part of a peaceful retirement community. At just over 6,100 yards from the tips, the golf course is on the short side but it still offers an enjoyable round. From the back tees, the course actually presents quite a formidable test. The layout meanders along a creek before wandering across idyllic farmland and finishing along the river bluffs overlooking Hayes Bayou. The diverse terrain provides an array of scenery as well as a variety of different challenges. Water hazards come into play on several holes and there are several strategically placed bunkers lurking along the greensides, waiting to swallow errant shots. Riverside Golf Club's layout combines more difficult holes with player-friendly features, which makes it approachable for players of any skill level.

Course was too dry
I like this course but the tees lacked grass and the fairways needed water.

Season’s over and conditions are drying out
Had a nice day staff is super friendly and accommodating
You have a Ranger, only course I saw this year. Too many 5- 5 1/2 hour rounds this year for two times the price so kudos to you for that.
Course dry and no turf to hit off was the only downer. Happening everywhere now. Heritage Harbor greens are so hard I hit an approach wedge really high to the middle of the green 3 times and they all rolled off the green and down the hill. Impossible
Hope rain will help grow some turf to hit off
Again good day though

The fairways were in poor condition as there was more dirt than grass in many locations.

Good Value During High Season
This course is a good value for this time of year in SW Florida and easy to get on and play at a decent pace. Excellent and accommodating staff, decent (albeit slow) greens, good sand traps, fairways a bit thin, tee boxes not in good shape at all. If you have read the other reviews you will know to bring your own water and food. However, if you’re looking for an inexpensive round during the height of tourist season you should consider this course.

Riverside
This course is located within a 55+ community. I found it difficult to locate. . The golf shop allows players to go off as singles and doubles. While playing I saw only four groups - a foursome, then twosome, me, then another single. I caught up with the twosome after the third hole. Play was very slow. By hole 10, the single behind me and I joined forces. It was still slow. We couldn’t get a rhythm going. No water on course or restroom. No ranger on course. No course layout on scorecard. Good news is there were signs as to where the next hole was located. However, you were SOL if a car or truck was obscuring the sidewalk entrance to your hole. That was our case. We were briefly lost as we meandered through the golf community. Not a fun time.
