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.

Nice course
Course is in good shape for this time of year. Mature course with cut roughs.
Great value
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.
Classic course in excellent fall shape.
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.
Wow, excellent greens
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.
Excellent condition
This is the best maintained municipal golf course around!
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.
Golfed on 4-27-13 and it was in great spring condition. What a deal we got through golf now.
The course was in great condition for this spring.
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!!
