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.

Nice Course
The only downside to this course is the lack of a clubhouse at the turn. Very friendly staff, well maintained course.
Great Value
Great course to play, greens and Fairways were in pretty good condition. Just like the rest of the golf courses they recently aerated the greens so during the morning slowed the ball down considerably, in the afternoon the ball seem to speed up and bounce all around during putting. That’s really our only complaint, would certainly play again, only other small nuance would be the pace of play was rather slow Only due to a very slow older foursome in front of us that seem to play three balls each lol, But the course played great and we had an excellent time.
Nice Fun Place
This was a nice course to play at, I played horrible, but that was all on me. It is narrow, so bring your A game to pipe them down the middle.
Punched greens
I'm not a fan of punched greens and Riverside's greens are punched with very little to no sand dressing.
Of course there is no notification of this. So as for now and maybe the next 3-4 weeks my suggestion is for you to play elsewhere, I will.
Hello, KingOsi. Thank you for leaving us a review. We are sorry to hear your experience was anything short of 5 stars, but we hope you will give us another try in the future. Thank you for choosing Riverside Golf Course.
Good course for the money
We had a good day for our two-some the temperature was 94° so we only made it through 15 holes and it was time to quit but still a very enjoyable day.
would buy a white shirt, they were all dirty and looked like used
restrooms and office look dirty
Review about course
Would play again! Staff 10/10. Course in great shape. Greens were a little fast. No water stations so bring water but they do have ice and water at clubhouse before you tee off.
Need to hit it straight!
Need to hit it straight. Many of the holes weave their way through a trailer park community except for a few on the back nine. Course was in pretty good shape considering the lack of rain in this area. No bare spots on greens. Pace of play was excellent because there wasn't anyone on the course during the middle of the day.
