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.

Friendlest staff ever, ANY course.

Everything about the course was great, EXCEPT the rate of play..... 5-1/2 hrs is much too long, to play any course.

What a gem of a course

It was a perfect day for Golf. Not a cloud in the sky, bright sunshine & a little bit of a breeze. Each tee box presented a beautiful view of the fairway, filling my heart with sweet anticipation of sending that flourescent green Titleist, sailing through the beautiful sky, watching it bounce and roll up down the center of the perfectly manicured fairway. After approaching the ball for the second shot, I lifted it skyward again with the King Cobra sand-lob wedge, the ball delicately landing on the green with a slight roll toward the pin...putting on the green was a pure pleasure. Yes, the greens have been aerated for the upcoming stretch of cold weather, but they were fabulous in their smoothness & speed. Leaves & dying vegetation were a slight distraction, but what else do you expect in late October? Hole after hole, each one a challenging delight...great golf memories were made yesterday at Riverside Golf Course. A splendid resource!!
