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.

Fathers day fun
First time playing this course and was very pleased. The fairways are in great shape. The greens are fast and roll smooth. Would love to return and play again.
Unable to play due to physical illness (left eye infection) and no refund from GN bc hot deal was booked.....
Stupid policy that needs to be reviewed especially due to physical illness cancelation...
Frustrating..
Always a good option
Riverside is a pretty standard layout with some straight holes and some bends. There are a couple tight drives through wooded alleys, which is fun. The "signature" hole might be the 92 yard par 3 over a giant oak tree.
I'd say course conditions have really improved over the past few years - always a pleasure to play here.
It was fairly busy, but things moved along really well.
good followup
Everything about the course was great, we had an issue on the first hole with a player that was following us. We got to the 1st tee 4 minutes late and he made some comments about holding them up. Some I told him they could take our time then he started using the f bomb a lot. So we tee off and they never got close to us again.
Good course, but slow
It took quite awhile to get checked in, only one person in front but the gal was on the phone for quite awhile. When I got on the course there was a foursome in font that after awhile let me play through. I caught up with a twosome that invited me to join them because they were also being held up by a five some with two walking. This was on hole 5, we were behind them through 18.
