Front desk ladies were very unpleasant.

The two older ladies working the front desk made our initial experience very unpleasant. While waiting to pay for our tee time, an individual walked in without a reservation and asked for any availability. The workers treated this gentleman like he was a burden and his presence was an inconvenience for them. Keep in mind the course was almost empty because a rain storm just passed through the course. Arranging a tee time should have been super easy and extra money for the course.

When we started our round of play my partner and I shared a golf bag with all our individual clubs inside our rented golf cart. Right as we were starting the tenant lady came to us with attitude and mentioned each golfer needs their own bag to play this course. We explained that we had our own clubs but we’re sharing a bag since we walked to the course and our pace of play would not change because we are in the same cart and having another bag of clubs would not make a difference. The tenant continued to say we cannot play unless we have two bags on the cart. To end the nonsense we bought a rental bag and she provided another set of clubs.

We told her politely that we felt her and her colleague were rude and the attitude that they were showing was very unpleasant on this holiday week. She continued to say that the rainy weather and slow day was a factor for her behavior. The attitude we noticed portrayed someone who disliked their job and could care less about the experience each golfer has at the course.

The course is always amazing; however these two ladies made the start of our game frustrating due to the lack of customer service.

Good value

Really enjoyed it. Everything was good. The only negative was one of the guys who they paired with me was brutally slow… not the course’s fault of course. Will definitely go back!

the golf course needs to be maintained better!!!

Let's see... slow greens, grass clippings in the fairway and everywhere, weeds everywhere, unfixed ball marks on the greens, no drinking water on the golf course, and the golf cart we rented wasn't charged properly.

Does the city of Austin really care about this place?

Great Experience

The course is in excellent shape. Fairways & greens were very good. A few unexpected small muddy spots. Impressive conditions for the long hot no-rain summer in central TX.

This course is more concerned with making money

The fact that they are somehow not able to maintain jugs of water through out the course is pathetic and dangerous. Asking people to pay $50 to potentially get heatstroke in 100+ temperatures is unacceptable. I heard different reasons from clubhouse staff and concession staff. A supposed understaffing was cited but I saw at least 2 different Marshall’s on the course looking for outside booze. They could easily be replacing the water jugs, in addition to protecting their business. It’s negligent at best and purely greedy at worst. Riverside is staffed by a handful of people and can somehow manage the strain of filling water jugs. I’ve played here for over a decade and have always loved it. Like the layout and the conditions have improved over time but I will not return. The focus is exclusively on profit now and customer safety and service are a distant second or third.

The course is decent

The course is decent, greens were in good shape. Lady at the front desk said there was “water on the course, so you are not allowed to bring bottled water” when in fact there wasn’t water on the course. Honestly this lady is a complete b**** all the time. She should find another job cause customer service isnt her forte
