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.

Course is in good shape
Ben is great, nice guy and funny when I checked in. Course was in great shape even after all the rain.

Nice course
This course is a nice layout. It’s a bit more challenging after rain. The course lies in low areas of rain runoff. It takes at least three to four days to dry all of the way out. Small areas of standing water on a few of the holes still.

Lots of personality and great value
The Riverside course is one that's fairly short and relatively forgiving, but also really well designed around some highly varied terrain. My only wish is that they'd be willing to make water available on the course - after 5pm the cart service stopped, and walking 18 holes without water is actually kind of dangerous.
Hi chimoose, thank you for your feedback. It's great to hear you enjoyed your round at the course. The weather is definitely getting warmer and we agree that it will help to make water available after 5 pm. We will talk to management about this issue to see if we can get more water on the course. Thanks again for the nice review and we hope to see you again soon.
Hands down the worst golf course I’ve ever played
The fairways are terrible
The greens are terrible
Terrible layout
The bunkers are like hitting out of clay
The pace of play was terrible
There’s no clubhouse with covid
To top it off, there’s no driving range - they have a net you it in at the first tee.

Fun Course
Fun Course, decent price. Lots of fun holes here. Not much in terms of extras. Clubhouse is still shut down, no driving range but a nice putting/chipping green.

Great bones, worth the money
Course is in decent shape save for the excess water from recent rainstorms that put a lot of flooding in some fairways and traps. The holes are straightforward but challenging, especially with the beautiful old trees throughout the course. Definitely recommend.
