Riverside Golf Course

In town on a work trip and had some downtime. Booked a tee time online. Have never played in this area before. After arriving at the course, and checked in, I was asked if I had ever played here before. When I told them no, the gentleman behind the counter came out and said “let me show you around”. (This was a first for me, most people in the golf shop just tell you where to go and never leave from behind the counter). He was genuinely a nice person and showed me where the first tee was, how to get there, where the ice and water machine was, and gave me the option to go ahead and tee off now, or hit some chips and putts. I felt like I was being treated like a celebrity in a way.

As for the course, it is deceiving. At first glance of the card it appears to be fairly short. However the layout is great and a player will have a lot of “risk vs reward” decisions to make. Yes, as with a lot of courses this time of the year, there are some areas where the grass is patchy and the greens putt a little slow for my liking, but I enjoyed every aspect and the challenge. Definitely recommend.

The tees are fine, the fairways are O.K. but they are thin and some bare spots so you might have to move the ball a little. The greens are good but painfully slow. They really need to speed them up a little.

Let's start with the positives, staff is friendly, green in decent shape.
Negatives, no decent fairways, like with actual grass,, tee boxes aren't much better, pace was not good early on. Greens are in nice shape but aren't true. Greens are more than just green grass. Not returning.

The staff at Riverside are very friendly & helpful. The course, though, needs some work. Tee boxes were a mess. Greens were good but very tough to read for a first timer playing the course.
Warning.... lots of water!
Our foursome did have a fun time though.

Pace of play was a bit slow. Ranger should have been more present moving people along. Other than that, it is a great course in really good condition

I look at the course as an executive course on steroids.
The greens are in decent shape, some are slightly slower than most of them. So of course your games gets thrown off.
Everyone is friendly and very helpful, I've never had any issues for all my years of playing there. I don't think paying over $50 for a round there is quite worth it though.
Overall I enjoy the course and will always play there during the rainy days and when everywhere else is over priced.

nice course, not long but a lot of water. fairways very thin but you get a lot of roll. greens very nice

Course condition could be much improved.
Homes to close to fairways in some areas.
Slow pace.
Highlight for sure is staff friendliness.

Great course ⛳️🏌️‍♂️
Just lacking services to keep you hydrated
in the fairways.

I played Riverside before and like the course. Of course is in good shape unfortunately the greens had just been sanded on the day we golfed. They were still good it was just hard to get a read on the break and speed. Also if you book the hot deals don't plan on being there early. They won't let you go out before your tee time even if there is nobody on the tees.

Set up a round with my nephew and couple of friends. Had a great time as always staff was friendly and professional. Course was in great shape and pace of play was Birthday
