About
The public 18-hole layout, formerly known as the Austin Country Club, was designed by renowned architects, J. Press and Perry Maxwell. It served as teaching grounds for Harvey Penick, as well as Tom Kite and Ben Crenshaw.
Riverside Golf Course challenges and delights players of all skill levels with its mature trees and scenic water hazards. Its convenient location, five minutes from downtown Austin and 10 minutes from the airport, makes it a serene escape without having to leave the city.
Getting there : From Austin, take IH-35 south to Riverside Drive. Go east on Riverside Drive 2.2 miles to Grove Blvd. and turn left. The course entrance is to the left before the community college.

Two long par 4s (15 & 16) make for a meaty finish. Photo submitted by BrandonTuckerGA on 06/12/2017
Fun course
Fun course to play with my teenage son. Played in just under 4 hours. Fairways in great shape but a couple of the greens need some repair but overall great for the price!!!
Pleasant suprise
The staff is fantastic. The pace of play was great and the greens were in good shape . Would recommend
Greens have a few Sandy spots on many of them. I believe they are scheduled to be upgraded soon.
Rest of the course very good
If you like bare spots on overgrown greens, this is the course for you
Idk what courses the other ppl writing reviews play but that was the worst course I’ve played in years. In from out of town, was skeptical playing here but the reviews sold me. Do not play this track…
I’ve played Avery Ranch, Teravista, and Forrest creek before but didn’t want to venture north of the city for once when I was in town for work. I’ll gladly pay the $30 Uber up there because this was a waste of time. Multiple times I had to pick up my ball while on the green to avoid putting through legitimate creators that were not just dead spots, but massive holes in their greens. It hadn’t rained in weeks but somehow every sand trap around the greens had standing water, every tee box is humped so heavily that you cannot find a flat part to setup on, truly horrible round of golf.
Nice muni course
Played at 8:40am. played as single because course not crowded. Played through a walking group. Played in 3 1/2 hours. Considering the recent heat and drought the fairways had enough grass to play fine. greens good except for a couple of bare areas, which management is working to correct. Relaxing, laid -baclk atmosphere. staff great. Pimento Cheeses sandwich great after round .
Great day for golf
Really like playing this course. Great conditions.
Good Confidence Booster
Just getting back into playing after a very long break, this was a decent and forgiving course that was great for my current, low, skill level.. Very wide fairways and not a ton of trouble to get into. The greens were pretty rough. Some sand piles on a few greens but I've seen worse for sure. For being in the middle of a major drought, the course was in pretty decent shape. Friendly staff. I got paired with a twosome of about my skill level (I shot a 94 and I think they were probably in the same neighborhood.) Pace of play was really good. We got around in about 3.5 hours and never waited on a tee box and never anyone waiting behind us. Good, fun golf.
Worst course I’ve ever played
I was baited by the 4 star reviews to think that this was a nice course but this is the worse corse I’ve played. The green had sand craters and the pace of play was herendous. Don’t waste the money!
Course is in REALLY good condition
I’ve been playing Riverside a couple times a month since ‘08 and I’ve seen the ups and downs. But she’s looking real nice lately, greens look good, they’re holding shots and fast. Not country club fast, but faster than normal. And we played in 2 1/2 hours to beat the heat. Omg and they had a beverage cart out, super sweet girls and not crazy pricing. Always good playing riverside, I still swish there’s was a better solution for driving range, but love the course.
Nice course
Came down from DFW to play some new courses. Very pleasant experience
Nice course but few amenities
This course is nice to play. You van get a vit disappointed durung the fist 3 holes which are very short, but the back holes are really nice. More amenities would help have a better time.
