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
Riverside Golfcourse
I enjoy playing on this course. For the location and convenience of being close to home; it's not a bad course to play on.
Enjoyed with other people
It was very slow. The course was packed with people.
Love this course
Great course to play on regardless of the skill level. Hole 3 and 5.... Yeah they are a challenge.
Heavily trafficked course
This course gets a lot of play! T boxes - many were sand pits; several greens had large patches of sand - on the green - to cover bare spots? Some tees dangerously close to previous green. Have to be on your toes to see incoming errant shots to that previously played green. Wide open course for the most part so wayward drives can be landed on green with second shot. Nice ego booster for scoring lower. Pro shop staff very friendly and helpful.
this course is playable for anyone.
I did like the par5 's, I noticed the course is easy to get around. No struggling up and steep slopes. That the only reason I keep going back.
Good for the money
You can’t beat it with the location the price and the alright playing conditions. Highly recommend
Friendly people great burgers
Its convient and not too busy the burgers are great
Everything to wet
The course was in very nice condition. I know watering is key but maybe a little less water would do the course good. No rain in the area for months but the coures was extremely soggy and mud in areas around the greens that made it hard to walk up to greens.
Best in Austin
Riverside is by far the best course in Austin and has been for quite some time. The staff are all super friendly (Mike 👍) and the course is always in good shape. Need food or beverages? Order em up and they deliver to whatever hole you’re on! How cool is that? Other courses, especially when playing early, we may see a cart gal on 17 or 18. Duh! Pace of play always excellent! Highly recommend. (Don’t tell too many people though…) 🤣👍👍👍
Good course , solid value.
Challenging and fun. First few holes were hard and the rest evened out over the course of the day. Food service was wonky and partner never got his burger. Ordered it on the first hole, never got it. Will play here again. Wish they had more golf now tee times!!!
