Riverside Golf Course

Well done riverside team, hoping the greens stay this way.

nice track in good shape. not very long, 6300 yds from back tees, but enjoyable. traps and greens maintained. weekend pace was sloooow, so be prepared and patient.

Greens were slow but poa annua minimal. Areas around the green often minimal grass and hard turf - made chipping difficult. Overall, a classic tract with no bells or who. No driving range (only a net). For the price, reasonable opportunity.

Course is in fairly good shape, and the pace of play was good. Some greens better than other, but bunkers make it a good challenge on all approach shots. Really enjoyed playing it and not crazy difficult.

Course was in good condition, greens were fast and a little thin but getting better. Fairways looked good and bunkers were prestine.

For tyhe most part the greens were good but we did have around 3 greens that were in pretty rough shape.

Typical muni layout. Friendly and professional staff. Some very challenging holes. Very few water hazards, but some carry. Very open and would play much tougher on a windy day. Greens were impacted by recent deep frost and bunkers need some loving care. On either a post-rainy, or a rainy, day several of the holes would play very wet. Very walkable. Close to the airport, so it was ideal for me as I had to return to the airport to pick up family. Definitely would play it again, if I would return in the future to the area.

I was visiting Austin and played Lagos (really bad) and Avery Ridge (decent but overpriced). Riverside is between those two. Some standing water which seemed odd considering how dry the rest of the course was. Crowded even though it wasn’t a particularly nice day. Supply of good quality golf courses in Austin appears to be exceeded by demand

Relatively unremarkable layout. The vast majority of holes are straight - very few doglegs, virtually zero water features, a handful of haphazardly scattered bunkers. The course is in average condition, but the most challenging part of the afternoon was finding a decent patch of grass to hit the ball off of rather than any difficulty arising from well placed hazards or challenging course layout.

That said, pace of play was great and greens fees are cheap. Carts work great. You could do worse for the money.

The course layout is decent, it’s a straight forward layout with mostly easy holes (even though I couldn’t find a fairway or GIR all day). The greens, fairways and tee boxes could use some work, but not horrible and may be better in the spring/summer. The grill delivers food to your cart on the course which is awesome and the burger I got was great. Staff is very friendly. Overall, it’s a decent course but for $55 I think it’s too expensive. I wouldn’t pay more that $30 under the current conditions.

Had a day in Austin for a round of golf and was able to play Riverside. It’s an average course in the heart of the city. We enjoyed our round and were able to play at a good pace.
