Length 920 yards

Rating 30.0

Located just south of downtown, Riverside Municipal Golf Course is a public facility that offers both an 18-hole regulation course and a nine-hole, par-3 course. Riverside dates back to the 1930s and its historical origins go back even further when it served as the site of Roosevelt's Rough Riders' preparation before the Spanish American War. The nine-hole course is a straightforward layout with no water and very little bunkering. The longest hole is only 130 yards, making the course ideal for beginners and juniors. The golf course is an enjoyable walk, seeing as walking is mandatory. The course is not challenging for more advanced players but it does provide a good warm-up before Riverside Municipal Golf Course's 18-hole course.

Cloudy Friday - Great Golf Weather

Excellent play, although the group behind us lacked some major golf etiquette, as soon as I was walking to the green from my second shot they were already hitting into us. Not cool! Learn the game!

Overall experience with the course was super! For the money its hard to beat! I would play here again!

Aeration in progress

I have played Riverside many times and keep going back because it's cheap and there's never too many people playing. They were working on all the greens, so a decent putt was impossible yesterday.

A great day and round of golf with my son.

The weather temperature was comfortable. The time scheduled for tee off was perfect to start the day and finish 18 holes before the crowds came in. Nice time golfing with my son. Thank you.

Southside Golf

Course was in good condition(7/10). Fairways were just cut so that was nice. If you miss hit a Tee shot it's pretty easy to find unless you hit it over the fence on the holes running along Mission. It was great round of golf my only complaint was the greens. Playing after a recent aeration made it difficult for putting since there was so much sand but other than that Riverside is one of my favorite courses in San Antonio. I always love playing here and the staff is always helpful and friendly. I recommend this course to my friends and if I can get a round in here it's always fun.

Could be a real nice course with some work

Can't complain too much about this course bit it does need some attention. For the money, it was definitely worth it. I was not too pleased to find out once I got there, that they had no driving range. That and the aerated green were the downfalls. The layout and friendliness of the staff made up for the course conditions for the most part. The range finders on the carts needed to be repaired, the tee boxes need cleaning and leveling, and the snack bar needed snacks. I would still play this one again but it would not be my first choice.

Excellent muni for the money

This is an interesting and very playable golf course. It is pretty flat like most Texas golf courses but the layout is varied and enjoyable.The conditions are good, perhaps better than good considering the drought this year. The greens were true and a good speed while the fairways had enough grass to hit a wood.

Greens & fairways in good shape.

The greens & fairways were in the best shape I've ever seen them. A couple greens were still in need of work. The restrooms on the course were absolutely disgusting, and driving from hole to hole is like driving a car down a hill of moguls. The cart paths really need attention. The water jugs appear to be left overs from the 1970's. A little money could possibly lift this course to the next level. Good luck.
