Riverside Golf Course
Rating Snapshot
About
Situated along Florida's Gulf Coast, Riverside Golf Club in Ruskin is part of a peaceful retirement community. At just over 6,100 yards from the tips, the golf course is on the short side but it still offers an enjoyable round. From the back tees, the course actually presents quite a formidable test. The layout meanders along a creek before wandering across idyllic farmland and finishing along the river bluffs overlooking Hayes Bayou. The diverse terrain provides an array of scenery as well as a variety of different challenges. Water hazards come into play on several holes and there are several strategically placed bunkers lurking along the greensides, waiting to swallow errant shots. Riverside Golf Club's layout combines more difficult holes with player-friendly features, which makes it approachable for players of any skill level.

Nice Little Gem
Love playing this course for a laid back, yet not slow, yet not the most boring course layout ever. Everyone's cool here.
Great Value!
I’ve come to really like this course. Greens were aerated but very well done. Fairways mostly all in good shape. I love the small greens. Staff is as friendly as any course I’ve ever played. Just great people. Restaurant very good! Great turkey bacon wrap and fries! Nice views and atmosphere. The back nine in particular is in really nice condition! I will be a repeat customer!
Yes! Play here.
I was pleasantly surprised at this course. Very quant, the course meanders through the community and some holes you are mere yards from ob/houses but they really didn’t come into play. Lots of ponds to watch out for and get this, WHITE SAND in the beautifully manicured bunkers. Looks and plays great. The greens were ehhhhh and SLOW. They were aerated about 10 days ago so they are still healing. They were very slow and bumpy but that’s understandable. One of the par 3’s is 226, yikes. And it’s a par 71, not a 70 as listed on GolfNow. The views around the clubhouse are great, two pools, tennis, patio etc. The grill had great food options and I had a wonderful wrap with fries for $12. I’m considering joining here but would like to see them work on growing grass on the tee boxes and speed up the greens. All in all, a great round and fun to play. You won’t be disappointed.
Great Little Course!
Great course layout! Staff very friendly and helpful. Only down-side was that the greens were very slow due to recent aerating, but I don’t fault the course for this…just a part of course maintenance!
Gem
Little hidden gem here. Great conditions greens were great. I signed up as a single they sent me out on my own so that was a little rough i got lost a couple times 😭
Nice Conditions, Friendly Staff
From the minute we checked in (w/ Mike in pro shop) we were made to feel at home. Decent conditions overall. Greens slow but true. This is not a course where you can spray your ball all over the place, including OB only a few paces from the sides of a number of fairways (especially on the back nine). Good pace of play, with marshal continuing to patrol throughout our round. Can recommend this course and plan on returning soon.
ENJOYABLE COURSE
It was our first time here and my friend and I enjoyed the course.Only played nine because rain was impending.
Had lunch in the restaurant and were well taken care of by Lisa. Food was delicious and service excellent.
We’ll return.
Good Course for Money
Played in the afternoon one day and while my only complaint is the greens were small. I am happy with the rest of the course.
A Gem of a Find
What a fabulous day all round !
The friendliest of welcomes in the pro shop followed by an excellent round of golf in a beautiful setting.
The course is a little dry and bare in parts, which is only to be expected, but the greens are superb, providing a real test.
We visit Florida annually and will most definitely return.
Interesting Course
We two girls enjoyed this course very much as we are used to playing an Executive Course.
We got a Hot Price and paid for 18, but only played 9 as rain was coming.
Asked for a rain check, but wasn’t given one.
Had lunch after. Lisa and staff members in restaurant were superb!
Not sure how to get back to Clubhouse after 9 holes. Not marked well.
We’ll be back.
Great staff
The course is a nice layout with challenging holes.
Riverside
Not a bad course considering the lack of Florida rain. The greens were air rated nicelu.
