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
Riverside in Ruskin
3rd time playing in the last week and still can not say anything negative about the course. The staff working there is fabulous and very well versed in customer service. No question asked was met with a well I really don't know. The friendlyness of the people we ran into was great. Will be back again and again...Course may look easy because of the distance but it is not an easy course but one you must manage every shot...
It's ok on a budget
The course is short and in a retirement community so expect long rounds during the enter months, with high fees. Come back in the summer for better rates and the course is practically wide open. The greens are slow and inconsistent. More importantly call the course to book your teetime, golfnow is a rip-off, there prices don't beat what you would pay booking from the course.

Course
I've played the course 2yrs ago and didn't get a chance last year but saw the reviews and decided to play it. The course in very good shape alot better than in the past. The greens are smooth but a little on the slow side but they hold shots perfectly. The tees for the most part are very good. The fairways are still a little thin but soft so hitting off them is very easy so you will be able to hit your shots correctly. The staff is fantastic and it was a nice round of Golf. Will defenately be back.

Nice course, just tough to find the pro shop.
The only negative I have about the experience was finding the pro shop. There’s no signage anywhere to tell you where it is. Outside of that, it’s a really nice course. Fairways are wide, but long par 4s and 5s make it a nice challenge. Water hazards are not extremely wide, but stay in play with their length along the fairways. If I’m ever back this way again, I will absolutely play it again.
Just OK
Disappointed, as the course was not in as good as shape as last year. Greens were fine, bunkers were nice, but fairways are really thin & had several bad areas where it was basically, just dirt. Surprised, because we found this course last year and played it several times, and the fairways were very thick & plush. Not sure what happened....maybe all the rain with the Hurricanes this year flooded out some turf & it just never recovered. Still a sporty little track & a good value for the price.
