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.

The course was narrow sometimes, but played well. The ponds were certainly lower due to no rain...it would pl ay tougher with full ponds. The fairways were spotty in places, but the greens were great, and fast. Will play again.
Great play
Greens were in good shape, tee box and some area in the fairways were brown due to watering or lack of.
Typical Florida course
Florida currently has a no burn moratorium out All courses are dry just need to find a little grass the greens are in excellent condition the staff is awesome The layout terrific
fairways are in horrible shape. Course layout very nice
fairways are in horrible shape but course layout is very nice. Greeans and bunkers are good.
FRIENDLY STAFF, NICE COURSE
PLAY THIS COURSE BECAUSE SARASOTA COURSES TOO EXPENSIVE, THIS A GREAT OPTION TO HAVE, THANKS!!!
Nothing spectacular
The course was just your average Tampa course in trailer complex. Greens were undulating and 3 putts could rule because of hardness. If you can get the price to $40 or under play it. Otherwise most better conditioned courses in Tampa are closer to $80-00
Fine, but disappointed
Tight fairways with houses along the right side of many holes. Water on 14 holes. No halfway house or any opportunity to get food or drinks on the entire course. No cart girl.
Enjoyable Round @ Riverside
Played late Sunday morning round in less than four hours. Greens in decent condition, as are sand traps. Fairways very dry and ‘patchy’ as area is in a drought. Super friendly and accommodating staff, including (on the day we played) Mike (inside), Tom (ranger), Norm & Danny (outside). Recommend this course and hope to play there again in the near future.
Go play elsewhere
First time on this course based on 4 sfars reviews on GN with decent greenfee on Sunday. Bad mistake.
Start up , they said they had a drown as of January.kidding me! Tee boxes and fairway were horrible, weeds and no grass whatsoever. Back nine Green were ok, need some TLC. Front nine green were ok, very slow. Group front of us so slow..back up the entire round. Narrow fairway with houses.
Bottom line, i dont go back here again. Go spend your money elsewhere.
