Riverside Golf Course
About
Riverside Golf Course is located on the northwest side of Janesville near the Rock River. Opened in 1924, it is one of the oldest courses in the area and over the years it has earned the reputation of being one of southern Wisconsin's best public courses. The course has also been recognized as one of the 50 best public golf values in the country. The gently rolling hills of the landscape provide the course with rolling, tree-lined fairways and large, undulating greens, which are framed by strategically placed bunkers. Riverside is a challenging course but not so difficult that beginners should be intimidated. The classic layout is quite forgiving and versatile enough for a range of skill levels, one reason why it is the host to the Ray Fischer Tournament, one of the Midwest's most prestigious amateur events.

Great experience
Everything was great. The staff was very friendly and helpful. The course was in great shape. Some holes were real straight forward and some presented stratetic play. Can't wait to return and play again.
very nice course and a good challenge for average golfers. Navigation around the coutse was a bit confusing. better hole direction signs would help ne
Better hole/tee box directions signs would help new players. Overall a very nice experience amd hope to play it again soon.
One player didn’t show because something happened.
Called after finishing play but wasn’t refunded for 1 pass with cart. Sad
Riverside
I love this golf course. The layout and challenge are great. I've played here many times over the years and will play there again this year before mother nature turns the lights out on the season. My only complaint I have are the bunkers. There is little to no sand in them, it's like hitting off of concrete.
Riverside Golf Course
What can I say about this course? It's my favorite golf course to play, I'm slighty biased. I've played there many times over the years, as I'm from the area. It's real hard to complain about anything at this golf course. There is one thing that I will complain about today, the bunkers. I know i should even be in them but those bunkers have little to no sand in them. The sand that is in there is rock hard. You're hitting off of black dirt in some of them, they need alot of work.
Worth playing
Greens were in excellent condition- smooth and well cared for. Cool layout, though a few areas wher you can get hit into. Traps were horrible, minimal sand in over half - dirt vs sand. For the cost it’s an amazing value. Fun track - we will be back. Clubhouse staff extra friendly.
This course was great at twice the price! Well worth playing.
First time at Riverside and it’s now going to be on a regular rotation. Greens are small, undulating, smooth and well groomed. The only issue we had was the bunkers were pretty awful. Most had little to no sand - maybe partially from recent rains. That did not spoil the experience though. The staff was fantastic, friendly and caring. The starter gave us a 5 min rundown as there were a few blind tee shot holes. The layout was fun , just be careful on 18 tee… we had 3 drives land within 20 feet of us with no warning. Come enjoy really good layout, greens, and staff - at an incredibly low cost.
