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.

Homes encroaching fairways
Course condition could be much improved.
Homes to close to fairways in some areas.
Slow pace.
Highlight for sure is staff friendliness.

Just lacking services to keep you hydrated
in the fairways.
Good Start for the holiday
I played Riverside before and like the course. Of course is in good shape unfortunately the greens had just been sanded on the day we golfed. They were still good it was just hard to get a read on the break and speed. Also if you book the hot deals don't plan on being there early. They won't let you go out before your tee time even if there is nobody on the tees.

Good value
We were playing as a foursome, had to let 3 singles through, kind of a pain but still played in good time.
Greens were in good shape, but like most of the other courses, tee blocks and fairways were dry.
On 18 some lunatic came flying out of his house screaming about us trespassing on his property. A ball tricled on the his lawn by a couple inches, I reached over picked it up. I swear this crazy dude sits waiting for people to get close so he can have a meltdown.
Dry
Course is very dry due to no rain and shortage of water
Greens in good shape
Will be back soon
