About

Holes 18
Type Municipal
Par 72
Length 6694 yards
Slope 114
Rating 71.2

Riverside Municipal Golf Course conveniently sits just four miles south of downtown and offers not only an 18-hole course but also a nine-hole, par-3 course. Riverside Municipal G.C., which dates back to the 1930s, was designed to offer spectacular views of the San Antonio skyline. As its name implies, the San Antonio River runs alongside many of the holes at Riverside. Nearly all of the lies are uneven but the golf course is still easy to walk. The layout's front nine is covered with towering pecan trees that require straight, accurate drives but the back nine has more opportunities to grip it and rip it. Water naturally comes into play throughout Riverside Municipal Golf Course, most prominently on the back nine.

Really nice for such an older course

Greens were well maintained and the fairways defined. Plenty of parking and the clubhouse clean.

This course keeps improving

My favorite San Antonio Muni. Can't really get into any trouble off the tees and the greens are in great shape. Love the layout. They have done a great job with the improvements at this course and the condition seems to get better each time I go.

Favorite SA muni

Love this course! SA golf trail has done a great job since taking over the city courses, but Riverside is my favorite. Not too long, so plays well to my game. First course to break 100 on (99), normally shoot around 110-115.

Well groomed for a municipal course

For the price you can't honestly do much better than this. I expected a decent course, but was very surprised to find a well maintained course. Staff was excellent.

This course is excellent for the average player.

The course layout allows the average player to remain in the fairways for the most part.

Worth the drive from one end of SA to the other end.

I swore off this course some 2 yrs ago, but the Golfnow offer was what sent me back. What ran me off was totally turned around. The course is in great!! condition and weekend golfer friendly. It was a pleasant experience that will send me back as soon as "the price is right".

A very quality golf course.

The layout of the course was very well done. Would have liked to seen a bit more water hazards throughout the course. Grounds were very nice and maintained.

good course. greens need some attention

Golf course plays very well tee to green. fairways are relatively plush and the rough is what u should expect from Bermuda grass, thick and knarly. Greens are the tough spot. as they are pretty large the longer putts proved very difficult to keep online. lack of any real "smooth" surface proved challenging. overall a good track with some fun shots. Just don't expect to break any putting records unless u have time travelled here from 1935!
