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.

Really Good Course Under Repairs
My son and I have played this course a couple of times prior and enjoyed our rounds there. When we booked the Tee Time we had no idea that the course was under maintenance. they had 9 holes under repair, and it wasn't like the front nine or the back nine. It was a few holes here, and a few holes there.
It would have been nice to have known this ahead of time, but we didn't and it was too late to go somewhere else. The holes we did get to play (twice for 18) were decent. The greens rolled really true.
Once they get the course back together I will go back.
Poor fairways
The course setting was fine. Unfortunately the fairways had minimal grass and mostly sand. Try another course.
The greens were the only saving grace for this course
I have played golf all over the USA and Canada. This is without a doubt the worse course condition I ever played with exception of the greens. Not sure if they are in the middle or beginning of an complete overhaul, but it was gross. I would never play there again, nor would I recommend anyone else to play there.
Worth the money
I like the layout of this course. The fairways they worked on last year are still in good shape. Good value for the money.
Bad shape
I've never seen a course so bad. Mounds of high grass on bare fairways. Looked like it hadn't been watered in years. Some greens were fair, but others were horrible. It was like golfing on a cow pasture. Needs H2O and TLC. Definitely not worth the $$ .
fairways were terrible. greens were fairly nice
overall course conditions were terrible. they would have to pay me to play the course again.
Good layout, poor course conditions
Course has a good layout with lots of hazards and OB. Great for practicing long irons, tight lies and shot-shaping. Although greens are in decent shape, the overall course condition is poor with most fairways needing grass and water. Bunkers are playable and water on many holes force you to hit shots. I'd play it again for the GN price.
NEEDS WATER on Fairways
The golf course was extremely dry most of the time and not well maintained for the fairways. This was not what I experienced in the summer with all the rains. This course need watering and help with grass in the fairways. Greens were in decent shape.
Great course spoilt by unkept fairways
The layout of this course was excellent and challenging, the greens were great, the only thing that let down this course was the condition of the fairways, mainly dirt or sand and very little grass, so we had to find a patch of grass closest to the ball to play the ball from. I would play here again hopefully the fairways would have improved next time. Staff were helpful and cheerful.
Nice design
This course need maintenance!! Fairways are burned up, Glorified sand traps. Greens need to be cut. I know why the price is cheep. I am sure the people who live on that course are disappointed with their investment in that community. I certainly wouldn't buy a home there!
Very poor conditions
The greens were filled in but had not been mowed and I had a noon start time. The fairways and tee boxes were horrible. Very little green grass, lots of dead grass and sand in fairways and on tee boxes. Inadequate or insufficient irrigation.
Great Course
The Golf Course was in great shape and I would recommend this course to anyone who loves to play.
Fairways
Marshall was around a lot but did not accomplish anything. A very slow foursome was holding up half the course. Fairways were in poor shape. The layout is very good and lots of risk reward available. If you play lift and clean or preferred lies, you can have a good game. If you don't, the fairways will kill your score. Lots of water and the greens were good.

This isn’t true, only sand was off in the rough where you must of been playing lol
Not sure when you golfed here but they have put over a million dollars to upgrade the fairways in particular and it showed yesterday.
Greens and fairways were great!
