Riverside Golf Course
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.

Very Dry Course
The course needs water/rain badly. Tee boxes and fairways void of much grass on many of the holes. 4 or 5 were just ok. A lot of dead grass and dirt in the "rough". Greens were ok grass wise, but very slow. No one on the course so the 2 of us played in about 3 hours or so, letting one single play through. The gentleman in the pro shop was very welcoming.
Nice course
The course conditions are nice for this time of the year. The speed of play could be a bit better. This is aggravated by having single players between foursomes. Staff is very friendly and helpful. Would recommend this course.
Very playable
Avoid the water hazards and this course is very score able
Nice greens
The course was in better condition than in past years. fairways are thin but the greens are very nice. It's a fun course to play.
Good value
Great friendly informative staff in pro shop and starter. Greens were fairly fast with fairways like most in Florida green and brown. Sand traps well taken care of. Exactly four hours to play 18. Definitely will play again
Good course
No driving range is a minus. Greens were good staff was friendly but I don’t u destined why the have discount passes for U.S citizens and not Canadians
1ST TIMER
Great little surprise. greens were phenomenal! will play it again.
Nice Course and friendly staff!
Nice Course and friendly staff! I enjoyed playing this course.
Nice course, Nice Greens
Course is in a manufactured home subdivision. There is alot of room however. A very nice course with very nice smooth and fast green. Highly recommend.
Hidden Gem
Challenging course to play during the week. Conditions were decent. Bring your snacks because there’s nothing on the course as far as food / drink goes. No cart person either. Overall, a nice course
Conditions
We use this cost quite a bit. It’s very reasonable and the conditions are excellent for the price. The staff is super friendly would definitely recommend this cost anyone in the area.
55 and older community
This course is in a 55 and older community. I did not see that anywhere when I booked. When I went there the gate to the parking lot was blocked off and they appeared to be closed. Still trying to get my money back…
Great round
Course was in excellent condition. Despite the fact that they didn’t have any clubhouse amenities, they should at least have a beer cart person coming around. There was absolutely no water anywhere on the course. We should have been warned ahead of time that we needed to take beverages with us. Pay a play was not too bad considering that the course was very busy. All in all it was a decent round.
Good round
This place was packed. No water or amenities on the course. It would have been nice to have known that I needed to bring beverages with me. The clubhouse doesn’t even offer beverages. Pace of play was a bit slow. The Ranger was out there, but didn’t seem to be moving people along. This is a really nice course just needs either a cart person or the clubhouse needs to have amenities available. I do enjoy playing here and will be back.
