Riverside Golf Course

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.

Decent. A little rough conditions. Maybe it's the start of the season and the upkeep hasn't really started yet. Have had a lot of water in the area so that may be the reason. Plenty potential.

If I could have given this course 0 stars I would have. Idk how anyone would give this course a rating higher than 1 star. I usually don’t leave reviews either but this course is in terrible shape. It hadn’t rained in over a week and you would of thought it rained for days. Standing water everywhere and the fairways and greens were MUDDY! It’s also the kind of mud that sticks to everything. Every single hole you will walk back to the cart with shoes covered in mud. The conditions were just awful. The fact that they charge anything for this course is a joke. This course should be closed.

Don’t play this course. I wouldn’t even pay $1 to play this course ever again!

This course is pretty average accept that there are more drinking water stations than any course I’ve played.

I saw a bunch of reviews about how bad the pace of place is. I thought to myself, “how true could this all actually be—what are the odds it’ll be that slow when I play??” Well, apparently the reviews were there for a reason. Pace was just too slow to really develop any rhythm which was super disappointing. Otherwise, good staff and (the guy who I think is) the manager is an outstanding guy and genuinely cares about the course and his customers.
