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
Wow
Don’t like to leave bad reviews or even reviews at all but completely thought about it twice when it was less than 20$ to play. If you want to play your fair way shot out of the rough then be my guest set up a Tee time
Fairly decent golf course will definitely go again
Okay course
The course is only in fair shape. The greens are okay. For the price it is a good deal for an outing with friends. Do not expect a championship course because it is not close. It is more like a cowpasture turned into a golf course. I think it is more for residences than for guests. I had fun playing. Nothing difficult.

On the Money for the Price
Green could use some love. Fairways in decent condition and very wide on this course. Just hard enough to make it fun for all skill levels. Crowded but finished round slightly under 4 hours. Did not hit into any group and no one hit into our group. Carts are new and ran very well.
Thank you for reviewing us. We see you rated the course 3-stars and are interested in learning what we can do to improve before your next round. Feel free to comment on this review or reach out to the team in the golf shop. We always appreciate the feedback. Thank you for playing Riverside Golf Course, and we hope to see you again soon.
Enjoyable Round
My wife and I like to play this course because we can get a low price on Hot Deals. It has never been crowded and we can usually play in about 3 hours. Some of the fairways need work but the greens are in good shape overall.
great day
course in decent condition, back 9 especially. staff friendly, pace of play fine
Under repair
Tee boxes are sand filled currently. Several fairway's are in need of repair and some are under repair. Greens are in good condition, very fast! Course is worth playing especially for the "Hot deal" rate.
Fun Time
My Cousin and I took our wives to ride along for a fun round of golf. The course was in fair condition and the staff were all ultra-friendly. The course has an interesting layout, with having to at times weave up and down streets between houses to get between some of the holes. And the abundance of water and numerous sand traps that were well-maintained made it a challenging round. I think we’ll be back real soon.
Economical course
Riverside Club is a nice value course that is good for newer players or players that are out of practice and want to get better again and restore their confidence. Fairways were rough in places but the greens were in decent shape with very few bad spots. I would play this course again.

Enjoyable Round
The course was not crowded and it was in generally good shape. The sand traps were raked and the sand was soft and plentiful, something I have not seen at other local courses. The greens were in excellent condition and fairly quick given the recent rains. In all, it was a good day.
Riverside
Great course for the cost. Don’t plan on playing only 9 holes though! The 9th green is about as far way from the clubhouse you can get. We had a very slow group in front of us that we eventually just skipped the hole and played on. Plenty of wildlife to look at!
hidden gem
We played last sat. We had the course all to ourselves no one was there.. I cant figure out why no one is playing this course at this rate and convenience .The staff was awesome .There is a couple of tee boxes being fiexed up. But over all we had a great time. We had a better time here than three weeks ago paying $65 at a $100 course
.Go riverside

Tight Course Excellent Greens, Non existent Fairways.
This was an odd course. The layout is in the middle of a modular home community. It was tight at some points and open at others. The greens were in amazing shape, but the fairways were non-existent. Fairways had no distinction between them and the rough and did not appear as they did in the photos. Tee boxes were slightly overgrown as well. The other oddity of this course was that there is not a distinction between the front 9 and the back 9 like every other course I have ever played at. You don't play hole 9 back into the clubhouse, but rather farther away and only return to the clubhouse upon the completion of hole 18. Also, practice ranges for this course run along with hole number 8 if I remember correctly which was very odd. For the price of the round and condition of play, I felt like I was overpaying which probably explains why the course was so empty.
Hello, thank you for taking the time to leave us a review. We are sorry to see that your overall experience was anything short of 5 stars.

Thanks for choosing Riverside Golf Course.
Garbage course
Been here twice and each time only had half the holes available to play due to “weather,” I believe the staff were just lazy and didn’t want to open the whole course since I’ve now heard that same excuse twice and both times those holes looked fine to play on. The holes that were open were very poorly maintained and the price was definitely not worth playing those same holes twice. Dry patches everywhere in the fairways and half the tee boxes were in bad shape or unavailable due to maintenance so you’d be teeing off from the rough. So many better courses in the area, so don’t even bother with this one. I won’t again.
