Riverside Golf Course
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.

Nice Golf Course
The golf course has been neglected. It has a great layout but, the condition was poor.
Challenging Course
The wind and layout off this course make it challenging. Played several times within last 6 months. Pace was a challenge when we ran into a course regular foursome of elderly gentleman. Once they cleared out at hole 12, pace picked up tremendously.
Very playable
Definitely worth the $ 33 we paid
! Play it if you can get on for $30-40!!
Hello, Shep9350669. Thank you for leaving us a review. We are sorry to hear your experience was anything short of 5 stars, but we hope you will give us another try in the future. Thank you for choosing Riverside Golf Course.
Good Greens, Hope To Return Soon
Reggie and Mike welcomed us upon our arrival and we got off about 25 minutes later than tee time due to how crowded it was. However, once on the course we played at a decent pace and never were held up by the foursome in front of us nor pushed by the foursome behind us. Finished in 4 hrs., 20 minutes (which is not great, but much better than expected on Easter weekend in Florida). Greens were in good shape with no bare spots or repair marks. Greens were not as fast as usual but rolled true. Fairways are a bit thin so you may have to move your ball a foot or two to place in on a patch of turf. Sand traps were in excellent condition. All-in-all it was a good experience and we will return.
Played Riverside
The course was in good condition, pace of play was very acceptable and had a fun time.
Not a good place
The start was not very good, as we were kept back as the people we were supposed to play with had not turned up, and they then sent 4-balls out before us, even that we had a confirmed tee time, until they had a 2 -ball that could join us. And that 2-ball was not really golfers so we had to get away from them as the held up the people behind. Poor management on the course. Will never play it again. Not worth the money and time.

This course has good features!
The course is playable, greens are good, Fairways not to bad, everyone there is very friendly!
Enjoyable Course, Fun To Play, Attractive Price
Teed off just after noon on a Monday. Played as a foursome with three guys I met that day at the course. Several groups were lined up on the first tee and starter (Will) had us wait until the group in front of us finished the first hole before we could tee off. By doing this we didn't have to wait on the group in front of us (at all) until we caught up with them on the 10th hole. Finished round in 4.25 hours. Fairways were thin with some bare patches (we just rolled our ball over to some grass). Greens were not fast but rolled true and had no (zero!) repair spots or damaged areas. Staff members Reggie and Will (outside) and Sherm (inside) were all friendly and accomodating. This place is in no way "upscale" but it's a fun course at an attractive price with a staff that seems to appreciate your business. I look forward to returning and can recommend Riverside.
You want to see water ?
Nice course, fast greens. We played with a grandfather and his grandson. Perfect day
Glad to have survived
Course was OK overall but fairways & greens could use some better care, water, etc.
Too easy to lose a ball right or left cause almost anything off center finds extra run & like a lot of Fl courses all fairways fall off to the side.
Biggest problem? NO WATER for golfers. Cart service? NOPE.
That ok, get something at the turn, right? No service or clubhouse at #10. UNBELIEVEABLE for. Fl course to not have cart service or water. C’mon guys!

Sunday in February
I was able to book a tee time for 3 players on Sunday afternoon when most other area courses were not available. We had an acceptable experience. Staff was nice, greens were in good shape, pace of play was okay- 4:hours, 10 minutes. However, fairways and tees were in poor condition.
Course is typical for Florida— flat, water, and sand. Most holes are surrounded on both sides by houses. No particularly memorable holes.
