Riverside Golf Course

The course is well designed and was in good shape. I would definitely come back.

I watch the rain on my smart phone. It was coming and it was going to be heavy with lightning. However, the staff did not seem to care if I went out. They also said that they did not have a warning system for lightning, nor did they monitor lightning. This to me seems odd and uncaring. We made the decision to wait an hour and a half and let the weather pass. But, just think of the danger to those that went out anyway.

We thought the rain would hold off but we got drenched around the 7th hole of play. We and all of the league golfers left the course and went to the club house. The staff was awesome and gave us a 9 hole rain check. The staff went out of their way for us.

The course is in perfect condition. I enjoyed it a lot.

From the time I got to the course to the time turned in my cart the staff was very nice. When I arrived at the course I noticed the way they clean their carts. They were scrubbing the tops and making sure the whole carts were cleaned everywhere and that impressed me from the start of my day. I was greeted in the clubhouse and when I told him this was my first round here he even walked me to the door and gave me some tips on how the course played and to play the greens short as long is trouble on the back sides .I really the complementary yardage books. The course has many different types of layouts and gives you plenty of chances for birdies yet can yield some bogies as well if you play the hole wrong. The greens are awesome and are true to the read. Very nice to putt on. The par 5 10th is a great layout with the 3rd shot needing a great iron shot to make birdie ( I boogied the hole lol ). The par 4 7th is another hole that sets up to make you think about the tee shot. ( I doubled that one ) All in all I very much enjoyed my round there and will make this my home course. You can tell they take pride in their Greens, fairways, and making you entire visit one you will remember. They should be proud of themselves.. I will say that the players should be encouraged to repair their divots to keep the greens rolling true. Maybe a sign here and there or maybe offer some type of divot tool with a instruction card and how important it is to repair you divot. Thank you for letting me have a great day !!

Course was in good shape. Very busy, would have liked a quicker pace on the front 9.

This is one of my favorite courses in the greater Madison area. It's a terrific value...paid $27 (including cart) for a early Sunday afternoon time on Golfnow....the quality of this course compares easily to those charging twice as much or more. Other than the standard tee boxes, and slow golf carts, it's hard to believe you're playing a "muni!" It feels much more like a CC. Even the quality of play resembles club play...fast, quality players seem to be the norm. Highly recommend this course for anyone in northern Illinois or southern Wisconsin.

Course was in pretty good condition and the staff was very friendly, including the beverage cart girl. Overall the course was a good value for the price, although we were hoping there was going to be a place you would actually be able to see the river. The course felt quite easy with many places to bail out with a miss.

Number of very interesting holes. Greens very quick!
Enjoyed the course!

Your typical old country club with beautiful scenery.

Course is in good shape for this time of year. Mature course with cut roughs.

Riverside has lots of character, with many interesting holes. Great pro shop, friendly staff and reasonable prices in clubhouse. An outstanding value, one of the best public courses in Wisconsin.

Made trip from Stoughton for second time in a week. Absolutely challenging track in gorgeous surroundings. I hadn't played it in over 40 years and will return soon. Greens are tricky fast and and true.

Our home course is in very good condition, we were blown away by the excellent condition of the greens at Riverside. Large, lush, rolling and true greens - big surprise for a public course. Rest of the course was in very good shape, too.

This is the best maintained municipal golf course around!

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

The course was in great condition for this spring.

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!!
