Riverside Golf Course

Decent condition for January in WV. Was nice to get out on this 70 degree day.

Had a fairly good day at the course. Course conditions were good except for a couple cart paths that need paved or graveled. Muddy cart paths to me are a no-no.

My only real issue was lack of a starter. It was very crowded and there was no control over people on the first tee. It was pretty well first come first serve. I was paired with a couple guys that didn't get to the tee until 10 minutes after our tee time. While waiting on them i let two groups go on so not to further slow down the pace and to relieve congestion on first tee. Being day after Christmas I really didn't expect such a crowd. It was the slowest I've ever played. Had I not booked through golf now I would have left before I went in the clubhouse. When I pulled up there was a group of six going off together which probably made things a little faster than having two groups in the mix. There were also too many twosomes (see starter issue).

Those things being said, I like the course and will be back but not sure if I'll book through golfnow so I don't feel committed because I've paid already and if I don't want to deal with these same issues I won't.

Day started out bad so I called to let them know I was going to be late-no problem. Got there checked in and They had already processed me and turned me loose on the course. If I had played better everything would have been perfect.

I will definitely be back and bring some of my golfing buddies.

I have played this course when it has been in better condition but it has also been very dry. Some of the greens had some small dead spots. I enjoy the layout beacuse if you hit an errant shot you do have the ability to recover in some instances. This course also requires you to use many of the clubs in your bag (not just driver, wedge, driver, wedge, etc.). Staff is generally friendly and accommodating. The restaurant is very good.

Nice course but different from where I play most of the time. Narrow fairways and easy to lose a ball if you don't hit them. Water on course but only a problem if you hit bad shots. Some holes very straight but look deceivingly long. Personally a challenging course because my game is really off right now.

Will definitely go back after I work on my game.

Greens were in excellent condition with the fairways coming into shape. Still a few spots under repair from the large amounts of rain lately but overall good conditions.

Play this course regularly although we had a ton of rain last night so was very soggy this morning

A all around nice course. Well maintained, very nice tees and greens. Player friendly yet challenging, a good mix of holes force a variety of shots to be made. You won't be disappointed.

Tee Boxes average shape. Fairways are still coming back from winter, Actually played better out of the first cut. Greens were in great shape.

Decent shape for this early in year and all the rain we’ve had

Nice course except fairways are Bermuda so there already dead other than that had a nice round for November

I just completed a very complimentary review for Riverside and inadvertently called it Lakeside!!! This was absolutely just a stupid mistake because o was so focused on giving them a great review!

I do hope that the fine folks at RIVERSIDE can forgive my blonde moment.....

I love this course! Lakeside is the perfect course for golfers of all skill levels. It offers a few tricky holes with water hazards and dog legs, but has an equal amount of par 3’s that help keep your confidence up if you’re not a star player! Even though it does have a few small hills and valleys, it’s quite user friendly of you have any physical challenges.....simply meaning that there’s not a bunch of steep climbs or greens that are hard to access if your ball has gone astray. It is a nice layout, with lots of variety, a mix of pars that keep you on your toes!

The condition of the greens is excellent, with negligible blemishes, and it seems most golfers fix their divots as they should. The fairways are well kept and even the “roughs” are not so bad that you lose your ball very often! If you are a golf “snob”, I suppose Lakeside wouldn’t measure up, but I think it’s perfect for the everyday golfer, and those who desire a well maintained course!

Course play was great, even though there was a tournament in play that day. We never waited more than 2-3 minutes to proceed.

My only recommendation for Lakeside would be to replace all of the wooden footbridges, as they are pretty aged, and could become unstable at any time. I would also like to see the beautiful hole markers washed and kept clean.....they are so nice and should be attended to! (Just my opinion! )

I would DEFINITELY recommend Lakeside to anyone who loves golfing!
