Riverside Golf Course

After reading the overview of this course, it sounded like a great value for your dollar. But as you are driving through a very undesirable neighborhood, one may realize you should be packing more than golf clubs. There is no driving range but rather a net with 4 mats to hit off of. The restrooms in the clubhouse haven't been cleaned since 1989 which may be the last year this course was tended to. The greens were like putting on the beach in Galveston while there were more weeds in the fairway than grass. I just wonder if this a result of the such Texas drought or just poor course management.

In this course, you will feel relax driving in the woods. Enjoy nice briz. A nice place to spend an afternoon.

Front 9 greens were a little scorched and the rough was pretty dry. Back 9 was nice. Went on a Monday afternoon and course was fairly empty. When you make the turn, you are nowhere near the clubhouse so if you want a cold beer, get your cooler before you tee off.

THE COURSE OVERALL IS GOOD, THE GREENS AND THE CARTS NEED WORK .........

Course needs attention from the tees to the greens. No driving range only an old tore up hitting net and a nice practice green. Fairways need some attention course is open but can be tough if you miss the short grass.

Went back to Riverside for the first time in 4+ years. Fairways are OK, but some greens were in terrible condition. So bad putting was physically impossible from some spots. It is not a memorable course. The only hole I remember was the ridiculous tee on #1 hole. The #1 tee box needs to be moved. I have played much nicer course at lower price. It will be another 4+ years before I return.

The course was good on the greens and fairways but the rough needed to be mowed for me.

Great value, probably the best in Austin.

Tee boxes were all pushed back but still a short course. During the week Hole #1 is Par 3 and on the weekends its a Par 4. (71/72)

Negatives:
Not a ton of issues with the fairways but on several holes (approx 5) the greens were so shoddy there were 15-25 sq ft strips of sands instead of grass.

Course is not all that long.

No driving range (that I saw).

Positives:
DIfficult pin placements.

Great value.

Not crowded at all.

I had never played Riverside and found a good deal here so I decided to give it a chance. I will never play this course again. The greens were in horrible condition. Nearly every green had large sand and dirt spots. The bunkers were more like gravel pits filled with rocks (I actually hit a tee shot that landed in the middle of a bunker and it bounced out and rolled a good 15 yards passed the bunker). The only positive was that the fairways were in decent shape. I wouldn't recommend playing this course unless you could play it for under $10. There are courses out there that are much better for the same price.

The course is in pretty good shape. The greens had their moments and could use more attention but otherwise well worth the money.

Nice course, that can be more challenging than it seems at first. Greens were really fast on the day we played. The staff is friendly and very helpful. Overall an excellent value! We'll definitely play here again.

I went on a day where there were 40mph winds and was overcast. The course was in pretty good condition overall. The t boxes were a bit sandy, the fairways were hard but grass covered, the traps were decent and only a few of the greens needed attention.

HAS SOME REALLY FUN PAR 5'S and greens are in good shape

Can sometimes be expensive, but catch it at the right time and it is under 20. Greens are quite sandy.

I've played out here a few times now and this last visit was by far the worst. The course looked like it hadn't been mowed in a couple weeks and they had just sanded the greens which we were not made aware of when we booked. It's a fun enough course which isn't difficult but the conditions leave a lot to be desired.

Fairways in really bad shape and greens were pretty tough.

This is a typical muni - the holes are laid out very close to each other and walking is always an option. The fairways could be in better shape, but weeds are still better than dirt patches, which is what a lot of the rough consists of. The greens are hit-and-miss - some are watered well and some aren't. But they are inconsistent in ball speed, making chipping and putting a challenge. Lots of bunkers surrounding greens, and the sand is loose, but not very deep. Very little water to worry about.

I like to play in this course any chance I get. It is fun and I always have a good time with friends or when I am placed with other golfers. The course isn't very difficult, but challenging enough for any level golfer. The only thing I do not like is that sometimes it gets really packed and some golfers do not fix divots on greens, but then again, that may happen anywhere. Other than that I recommend it to everyone.

The fairways were in good shape but the course recently put in new hybrid greens. The greens were hard as rocks, slick as grease and just plain difficult to putt on. Other than that, things were great.

well maintained, interesting history. too short for todays game. good for seniors,ladies and beginers.
