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.

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.

Greens In Good Condition

Midday, mid-week round took exactly four hours playing as a foursome.Did let three singles play through. Staff (especially Norman) were all friendly and accommodating. Greens and bunkers were in very good condition. For the price this was a good course to play. Hope to return soon.
