Fairmont Hot Springs Resort - Riverside

Tee boxes could use some TLC. Cart paths are very rough and at times back jarring. Fairways good and greens in great shape. Rough was a bit long and could be difficult to get out. We golfed with great people and very much enjoyed both our rounds here.

I have being playing this course for about 15yrs

& it is not well maintained,

I played this course in 2025 and the conditions have deteriorated substantially this year. It is very evident the maintenance program is being cut back .There are huge areas of fairways that are brown. In my opinion they are attempting to improve bottom line. The positive is the green fee is lower than the other courses in the Valley.

No money being spent. Course dry as dirt. Tee boxes a mess. Greens below average. Range needs repair to mats and better balls. Greenskeeer not watering at night or early.

the columbia river was in play on multiple holes as well as several ponds and lots of sand traps. 3 of the greens had some damage with one of the par three holes in terrible shape...the rest of the course was in good condition and i enjoyed the course very much...challenging but fair

Very nice course in good condition except for 3 greens hit hard this winter...one of the par 3's had a very damaged green....water comes into play on many holes as well as a lot of traps ...I really enjoyed this course

We enjoyed playing Riverside at Fairmont Hor Springs for the first time. We were partnered with another couple from WA and they were a lot of fun.

The course was in decent shape but some of the greens were a little rough. We would play again though.

The course was in very good shape except for a few greens which had Winter damage...lots of water and traps

I’ve played this course over 30 times. I know it well. The layout is reasonable and fair. This visit was VERY disappointing. We booked a two-some at 10:00am mid-week with GOLFNOW and prepaid $49 each plus taxes and fees ($120) and it included a power cart. The price was right! Driving range staff and cart staff were very friendly and kind. They met us with a power cart at the parking lot and I tipped her. A small basket of range balls was included.

Greens were ABSOLUTELY TERRIBLE. At first, they looked to be damaged by deer hooves. On closer examination, it appeared to be some kind of fungus (“dollar fungus???). Hole 5 was the absolute worst, being ridiculously slow, and felt like putting through a minefield. It was beyond terrible. For future holes, we just decided on “guaranteed two putts” to preserve and hope of fair scoring. Throughout the rest of the round, the ball simply bounced and jumped excessively on every putt, whether it was 4 feet or 40 feet. Greens were mowed very high, and the furriness felt like putting on the fringe.

Also worthy of mention were the quality of bunkers. Some had adequate sand. Most were bare. We played at Greywolf the previous day ($250 compared to $60) and the sand was fluffy, white, fine, and consistent. Back to Fairmont Riverside: Weeds were growing out of most bunkers. Rakes were in short supply. Sand was course and full of pebbles. It’s not ALL negative, the price was right and they repaired the bridge on Hole 5 (after the minefield green).

Once again, I like Fairmont, but these conditions were COMPLETELY UNACCEPTABLE for a resort course. It felt more like a cow pasture! Knowing what I know now, I’d play it again at $60 with a cart and mandatory 2 putts, but I wouldn’t pay more. Overall rating is BARELY 2/5, and only because the price was so low. I’m the summer, water shortages are going to prevent watering, and it’s going to be a grasshopper farm! That is soooooooo sad.

My wife and I decided on playing Riverside as the price was right for this time of year and our familiarity with the course. We were teamed up with a lovely. long-hitting couple from Jasper, Alberta. The bridge between 6 and 7 was not available due to being under construction, resulting in longish detour. We played the round in 3 hours and 50 minutes. The greens were in rougher shape than we have ever seen due to winter kill and wildlife. They should be in good shape in a few weeks. We will always come back to Riverside.

Springtime conditions were as you would expect. Greens were really slow but again look at the time of year. Staff was an incredibly nice and kind. I would absolutely go there again.

Great course, the staff is incredible! Spring conditions as you would expect- I was not disappointed. Greens were super slow but good for this early in the season.

It's been a few years since we last played the course. We received a friendly welcome from the staff. The course was in great condition. Greens a little on the slow side. We enjoyed a cold one in Dappers Landing after the game with excellent nachos and top service.
