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.

Friendly staff great conditions you’ll get your monies worth !!!
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
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.

Riveerside
Another great time had at Riverview very friendly and professional staff. Easy drive from Riverview and pace of play is always good as they have dedicated course marshals ensuring that everybody is not just talking but playing golf......
Not busy after 11:30 am
Most of the time we thought we were the only ones on the course. Started at noon, done at 3:30 pm. Nice wide fairways. Take plenty with you to drink. No place to replenish after first 9. Overall I’d play here again soon.
Great value
The course is in great shape except for tee boxes but they are working on them. Greens are perfect and fairways are also in great shape.
Trailer Park? oops, not
This is actually a nice course for the price. It is designed like a gated housing community but it is a gated trailer park on a huge piece of property. Check the yardage, this is not a short course. It is pretty wide open with little chance of hitting a home. The course is very well maintained with typical Fl grass from tee to green. Staff was friendly but no cart person and you don't go by the club house at the turn. I am jealous of the folks who live here. An affordable golf community.
Great practice course!
If you’re used to playing high-end courses this is not for you. This is a great closed community course that has a well maintained course sitting in it. Positives of the course is that the layout is challenging yet fair. Negatives include uneven tee boxes, and very slow greens. This is more of a course you learn about placement of your irons and going after a pin. Great time out there though.
We appreciate you taking the time to review the course and rate us, u380513625. We are going to pass on your feedback to the team. Thanks for visiting Riverside Golf Course, and we hope to see you again in the future.
