Riverside Golf Course

tough little course because of damp conditions and not a lot of roll

Generally poor condition. Fairways in poor condition. Very slow play.

Going in, had no idea what to expect. Some bare spots, thin areas and the greens were slow. Now, don't let that scare you off, the layout was a surprise, and with the water on many holes, it made this place a real test. Winding in and out of homes in a gated senior community didn't cause much concern and out in the woods on the back nine made it fun. It needs some help, and the greens were slow, but, I did enjoy it and the staff was great. Compared to some of the surrounding places, this was a surprise find.

Wife and I played. Paired with father and older son. Had a great time.

Ok course lots of trouble which makes it a challenge. Pace was slow but seeing that everywhere, lots of tourists. The restaurant was closed so no food or cart girl. The course was in decent shape will try again

I am talking about the greens. They have very lush large undulating greens but they are always painfully slow. Speed of play was great during our afternoon tee time because most of the members play in mornings. This course has many very challenging holes. We will play again soon.

DO NOT SHOW UP WITHOUT A PRINTED GOLFNOW CONFIRMATION!! CLUBHOUSE / PRO SHOP STAFF DOES NOT HANDLE, MANAGE AND SERVICE THE GOLFNOW ACCOUNTS AND GOLFERS WITHOUT A PRINTED CONFIRMATION! THEY ALSO CLAIM TO HAVE NO COMPUTER RECORDS AND ACCESS TO ANY GOLFNOW RESERVATIONS!!! GATED SECURITY WAS ALSO AN ISSUE AND IN THE PROCESS OF BEING CHANGED AND UPDATED!! AS THEY MAY HAVE A VARIETY OF GOLFERS,.... BOTH CLUB PRIVATE, AND PUBLIC AND DO A VARIETY OF LOCAL MARKETING AND ADVERTISING. HAD TO DO THEIR JOB AND GIVE SUGGESTIONS AND ADVICE!! IT WAS NOT THE FIRST TIME THAT I WAS INCONVIENCED, QUESTIONED PERSONALLY AND PRIVATELY, SET UP AND DELAYED BY THEIR STAFF!! HOWEVER,... ONCE YOU GET THRU THEIR PROBLEMS IN THE PRO SHOP,..........THE COURSE GREENS WERE MUCH IMPROVED AND IN PRETTY GOOD SHAPE!!

very good course to play if you are not in a hurry. Regulars tend to be slow. Took 4 1/2 hours.

Eveery timee we play Riverside with golf now,they seem that they don"t like it and give us a hard time.We don"tt go before oue tee time even if there is nobody on tee,ysterday,we had a tee timee at 11.30 and they let us go only at 12 00 because thete way a tournement going on. We did not appreciate cause we had to wait.

I was hesitant to play here due to the less than favorable reviews I had read and the response I got when asking some of the players in a league I am in about poor conditions. Anyway I got a hot deal and played a round with my wife's, what a surprise it was. The facility was nice and clean, staff in pro shop very friendly and gave use course info since we have not played it before, carts clean and no problems, course well marked as it goes through the homes, the workers on the course were courteous while we played, they would even tell us the best way to approach the green on a few of the holes. The course it self was overall good to average fairways were average and the green were good, we would have said very good except the grass was a little long and that made them very slow and the ball kind of wandered a bit, the appearance of the greens was very good, no bare spots or any type of defects in them. Overall we found this to be a challenging and fun course, it was not crowded and we didn't feel pushed. We will play here often now.

If you're looking for a challenging, PGA type of 8,000 yd course, this isn't the course for you. If you're looking for a nice, leisurely round of golf this course could be for you. My son and I played as a twosome and both the twosome in front and the one behind were husband and wife twosomes who seemed to be out just to enjoy some golf. The course is relatively short with a number of straight, flat holes so the course is not particularly challenging but for those who find the game of golf challenging the course is perfect.

A course I will play again and I will recommend it.

I had play to many courses in the Tampa Bay Area and Riverside Golf Club is my favorite because always I have played here everything in this Course is gratificant to me an my partners of play. Its enviroment is quiet and we dan play with out stress, plenty of relax , Defínetely I recomend this Golf Course

Course is a bit neglected. Tee box full of weed. The overall condition is not horrible but it's obviously that it can use a bit more TLC.

Course in overall okay condition remembering this is not an expensive/pristine course, So it was in acceptable condition the holes that were open to play. There were 4 holes shut down which the counter person did not tell us about. You had to move from hole 8 to hole 12 which was a little hard to find. We have played the course once before. I cant complain about the price but c;mon tell the folks 4 holes are closed today. Hey we piggy back this course and going outlet shopping in Ellenton so not a lost day. I most likely will play again not often but again.

I played on a weekday so pace of play was not an issue and I also had no food or beverages. But I can say it's the best of the great value courses. The greens and fairways were in good shape but a little slow. Good experience and I'd definitely go weekly if it were closer.

I came to play here for the first time in June. First I had called three days prior to see if my wife and daughter would be able to just pay for the cart fee and just ride along with our group in which we were told that we could do it . Well, when we got there we signed in and when I told the gentleman that I had called about getting an extra cart I was rudely just brushed off.. Second, the course was in horrible conditions. the greens had botches of brown and actual ant farms on them. Also, in some fairways you did have torn up grass or mounts of grass just to the side of the fairway. First and last time we will actually play there...

course is in need of complete restoration, greens are in very bad shape, and approaches are not in very good condition.

Nice little course, real quite when the snowbirds are gone!

Thought the course was excellent, only negative would be no cart person and very little water if at all on the course to drink, saw only 1 water cooler on the front and back nine and no stop between 9th hole and 10th, so if you go, bring a cooler and food for on the course forget it nothing
