Riverside Golf Course

I have to start by posting positives before I let loose. 1) The staff there are extremely friendly. 2) This is a perfect course if you are a beginner and need to play on a course where you other players would give you grief for any poor play (like snobby private courses). The openness of the course is very forgiving and you don't have to be Tiger Woods to play here. I highly recommend playing here if you are just learning, first time on a full 18 course.

For those of us that have been playing for a while and want a decent nice course to play when visiting Austin, or even if you live there full time. PLEASE AVOID THIS COURSE. It is not a nice course in any way, the greens are all beat up, I just gave up expecting putts to roll anywhere near true. The rough was mostly dirt places. The fairway ok.

I was very sad when I drove up to this course and you could see how bad it was. I wanted to play a nice course, The reviews here had it as a 4 stars and I have never seen such a bad course have such high reviews. I was fooled/lied to into expecting it to be a nice course, and it is far from it.

Enjoy playing at Riverside when we are in Austin and could not have been paired with two nicer men. Great day of golf.

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!!!

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

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.

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 .

Really like playing this course. Great conditions.

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.

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!

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.
