About
Riverside Golf Club is appropriately named. The course sits in a floodplain along the Trinity River with water in play on seemingly every hole. This is a combination links-style/traditional layout that is surprisingly difficult for a municipal course. Great holes abound on the Roger Packard layout, which requires the rare combination of length and accuracy when playing from the tips.
Holes 4-6 offer one of the better stretches of golf, starting with a 462-yard par 4 that is cut in the landing area by pesky fairway bunkers, and features a long approach into an elevated green that is surrounded by water and slopes back-to-front. Club down on no. 4 because leaving it short still offers the chance for an up-and-down. No. 5 is a good par 3, especially from the middle tees where it generally plays as a short iron. Watch for the front pin placement, which can leave you with a long downhill putt if the tee shot is too long. Water looms to the right but it takes a bad shank to dunk it in the drink. No. 6 goes 543 yards, doglegging left along the Trinity with water fronting the green. The tee shot must be long and straight, and anything too far right leaves a precarious second shot around the bend.
The back side is the more fun of the two, taking you through good combinations of holes that offer excellent birdie opportunities if you’re on your game. You'll need those birds when you come down the home stretch.

Great course! Staff was excellent!
Great time yesterday. Mary in the pro shop is great to deal with! Even though I was a tad bit late, no one made me feel rushed.
Best course for the money!!
Power Shower Can’t Dampen Round
By far the nicest fairways I’ve seen this year so far. Fun layout with challenging holes. Greens were in good condition, though the rain slowed everything down. Had a fun round.
Sand traps
Biggest complaint is poorly kept sand traps do not get in them
Torrential Downpour Couldn’t Dampen My Round
Probably hit my best balls when it was really coming down. Course was in great shape, best fairways I’ve seen all year. Many blind shots but they have a nice hole description for 1-18. Had a great round.
Fun layout, ok condition
Played here for the first time, very fun layout and the staff was incredibly friendly, one of the Marshalls checked up on us every few holes and talked us through a couple of the more challenging holes. The course itself was in decent shape with inconsistent tee boxes, fairways and greens. All and all a great course for the money and somewhere I’ll play again soon
Friendly staff, good golf course
Took a buddy from out of town to play his first round of the year. We had a blast. The course was recovering from rain so it was 90 degrees with the carts. Lots of approach shots over hazards. That and the wind made it quite a challenge. Great staff. It was nice to have a beverage cart out on a Monday, especially with my favorite IPA. Cheers!
Excellent
This has quickly become my favorite course. Exceptional staff and always in excellent condition. Challenging layout, but not so difficult the average golfer can’t enjoy themselves.
Slowest Round of golf I’ve ever played.
To start, had to sit there waiting for a cart because they don’t have enough to accommodate for all golfers. After which we played the slowest round of golf ever on a course that is getting eaten alive by the river and I’m not good shape at all. Layout is horrible and tee boxes are right in line with fairways. Whoever designed it needs to never design another. Not sure how it got 4 stars.
Never got thirsty!
Course conditions were very playable even with one hole still holding water (but it was ripped off) and the greens were in great shape. Weather was cool in the AM at tee time but warned quickly and Taya, out cart girl, was readily available and quick too serve us so we didn't keep players waiting. It was great to hear that they staff three beverages cart seven days a week. So many others courses struggle to match this feature. I think we found out spring and summer favorite course.
Love Riverside
I've played here countless times. Course is tough enough for any golfer. The water really makes you control your tee shot, the greens make you control your 2nd shots. 18 is one of the toughest pars 4s around but I still come back with hopes of conquering it
