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.

Riverside Golf Course

Course was in pretty good shape in general due to a lot of rain recently. A couple of greens had some issues, probably from water run off, so large sandy patches that need to be repaired. But only on a couple of greens. Tee Boxes could use some work leveling tee areas and putting some seed down. Staff was very friendly, but when we finished around 4:30 after a somewhat plodding round of 5 hours, we got one drink and then the snack bar area was shut down. Cart girl was still working on the course and was pretty good about getting around. We saw her four times during the round I believe. I would give it a solid 4.5 rating. I've played there for 30 years and it's in much better shape than it's been in previous year.s

You get what you pay for. The greens and tee boxes were rough. The "rough" was mostly dirt. A lot of free relief was given this round. Everyone working there was very nice though.
