About

Riverside Golf Course is located on the northwest side of Janesville near the Rock River. Opened in 1924, it is one of the oldest courses in the area and over the years it has earned the reputation of being one of southern Wisconsin's best public courses. The course has also been recognized as one of the 50 best public golf values in the country. The gently rolling hills of the landscape provide the course with rolling, tree-lined fairways and large, undulating greens, which are framed by strategically placed bunkers. Riverside is a challenging course but not so difficult that beginners should be intimidated. The classic layout is quite forgiving and versatile enough for a range of skill levels, one reason why it is the host to the Ray Fischer Tournament, one of the Midwest's most prestigious amateur events.

Course Highlights
The course layout impresses with a front nine that plays entirely differently from the back, featuring mature trees, wide fairways, and fast greens in excellent condition. Exceptionally friendly staff and strong overall value make this a course worth returning to.

Slow

Don’t allow groups of five. Especially when two or three of the golfers look like beginners. Very slow pace. We finally were able to play through after six holes.

Fun and challenging

The course is always a challenge but plenty of Tee Boxes for everyone to have a good experience. The staff is very friendly and helpful. If you get a chance come try Riverside.
