Riverside Golf Course

Difficult to locate the course. A standard housing community course. Narrow fairways between houses or roads. Fair amount of water and OB zones. Par 70, and 6,100 yards from the back. Not an old man's course, fairly challenging especially in strong wind. Good amount of sand in bunkers. Greens, though well maintained, exceptionally shaggy and super slow in January. Very crowded, but moved along well. Good value for the price. Not a very natural setting.

10:58 Tee time w/ golf buddy. Nice course layout. Trailer Park home setting. Fairly wide tee shot landing areas. Tee boxes & fairways in good condition. Roughs are rough: making it slow in finding errant tee shots. Greens faster than they look; hairy. Definitely has some unique holes. Worth the trip for the great price I obtained thru Deal Caddy.

As long as you're aware of the condition, it's not bad for $30.00.

The greens are terribly slow

The staff was a little unfriendly. However the main complaint is that the rough on many holes is only about 10 to 15 yards off the fairway until the OB stakes. Then the scary part is that the homes start 5 yards past the OB stakes on many holes. While being 20 yards off the fairway isn't all that unusually and even happens regularly to the pros, you do that here and you are hitting someone's home. You can see many of the homes are full of hits by balls.

On the upside you can see some gators in several of the lakes here.

Played the course on November 7th When comparing the course to Summerfield, Bloomingdale The greens at Riverside are not up to par they require lot's of maintenance and up keep. The fairways are ok it's an interesting course
The price is right

been playing course for years and this year the course is a gem.few damp spots but over-all its in excellant condition.greens are wonderful compared to some courses in area.

The course itself has a nice layout. No two holes are alike. It winds through a neighborhood and it can sometimes be difficult to find the next hole. At the time that we played the rough was in terrible shape. Ankle deep in some spots. Balls not on the fairway would disappear. We mentioned this to one of the groundsmen and were told that the rough was new and had to be allowed to grow in order for the roots to take hold. After hearing about our lost balls he replaced them with some others he had found. We will try this course again in winter after the rough has been cut back.

Course had some interesting par 5s that were fun to play. The greens were a little slow, rough and spotty. Play moved along ok but could have been better if starter had not allowed multiple groups of two to tee off separately. Not bad for the price so I'd probably play it again if I return to the area for another vacation next year.
