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.

Golfer Reviews
Saturday Golf
Could not have picked a better day to play at Riverside. The course was deserted. We were the only group on the course as we arrived 20 minutes early. The starter asked us to let a single go ahead of us and we saw no one else on the court other than the ranger. Absolutely fantastice the only reason course condition was rated lower was because they had punched the greens other wise the course was perfect.
Greens and things
Their was next to no one on the course, everyone has gone back north. So pace of play was excellent.
The greens were a little face and hard but well groomed.
The fairways and tee boxes need a lot of water and work. However it appears the club is working on that. It may be a lot better by June/July 2023.

Good value for the money
Hey, layout is OK, greens are great AND they’re targeting areas to get water, which is not supported by the sky up above. They’re trying though, so fingers crossed!

Reasonable value
Course was dry, very dry. So you get a great roll on the fairway. That’s the good news.
Dry greens are super fast. Being so dry and located within a development it’s just not a pretty course. Come on guys…water the course.

Not thrilled
I don’t know how this course could possibly be reviewed as 4 stars overall by most people. I paid $50 ish for 18 and a cart and the course is literally in a trailer park. Most of the tee beds have so much sand on them it’s like being in a bunker. Fairways are patchy with a lot of uneven lies due to the dirt spots where there is no grass at all,
Staff was cool, bar was closed so we couldn’t get food, overall this was a 2 star experience to me and WAY overpriced as I paid almost the same amount to play Saddlebrook last week.

Not bad
Only critic of the course would be that the fairways and areas around the greens need way more grass
The layout was nice, greens putted well, but most lies were on dirt or near dirt. May be time of year, but need grass on fairways!!
