Good for price

Greens a bit chewed up, looks as someone had some hard spikes and was probably 300lbs!

Hard to get under the ball in the "ruff" to due some spots being just dirthe in spots. Overall for under $20 for 18 w cart, not bad!

Great easy round

A lot of times if you go to a course you have to pay large fees and book a time. Riverside, however is a great course to play when you just want to get out and play. There is no tee time needed. and it will only cost a couple bucks. Its nice and flat and only par 69 so you can get in and out. also there is a par 3 course to play if that's what you want. You get everything you pay for.

Ive read some of the reviews and I wonder how long ago the negative ones were. I found plenty of grass on tee boxes and the fairways were coming in nicely. Considering this course was flooded in January they've done a great job getting it going.

This course is awful.

I went on a Monday right before lunch and the clubhouse was closed due to plumbing. When I got to the 1st box, it was all dried dirt and didn't get any better as the round went on. Some of the holes were hard but had lots of par three's

Not Good, but Playable

If you are looking for a cheap course it works. Some staff are cool others are not. The fairways are mostly dirt. The greens were ok. Too many people on the course. It's easy to hit others if you aren't accurate. My buddy is new to golf and almost hit people a couple of times. There isn't on option to wait, they were on other holes. I got it for $15 so it's hard to complain, but if I'd only go there when playing with people who are new to golf and intimidated. The issue with that though is that they may kill someone. I may go back if my only option is to play in Fenton. I've also posted some of my best scores here. I'd crush scores there is there was grass to hit from.

CAUTION SLOW- PLAY plus the Course could use some attention

The greens were in fabulous shape, albeit not very fast greens. They had little or no grass on the tee boxes, and it was not mowed. Same goes for many fairways. grass was not "rough" hieght or thickness, jsut "unkept".

NIce layout, plenty of water and trees to penalize you if you go right ro left, but it is very short.

They pack the groups in on nice days, and the fact some people think they can drive the greens on some 260-275 yard Par fours slows things down even more. The course is favored by seniors and we foudn thier defination of "ready golf" did not match our groups - when it came to getting in and out fo the cart and allowing partners to play out of turn.

Pace of play and course are awful

I had an early Friday morning tee time and for some reason there were about 25 groups in front of me already who were all older and played SLOW. It is kind of common sense as a golf course organizer to not put a single after a bunch of foursomes. It was REALLY frustrating.

Also the course conditions are AWFUL. the tee boxes were some of the worst tee boxes I have ever hit out of, and the fairways were horrendous.

I played 18 for 20 dollars. I honestly would not play this course for free, I will never go there again.

Not quite there

No reward for hitting in the fairway and no punishment for hitting in the rough. You basically hit everything off of crab grass or dirt patches. On top of poor course conditions, in one hour I had only completed two holes because the course was that backed up. Instead of alternating starts on the front and back, they jam packed everyone on the front.

In poor shape

Trees need trimming along some fairways, greens are in rough shape, many fairways are mostly crabgrass/water grass. Bunkers were in surprisingly good shape and contained good sand.

very slow

Had a 9:30 tee time on a Saturday morning. Our two some did not get paired up and ended up having to wait at least 15 minutes on every tee box. Our round took a little over 5 and a half hours to play. Needed better tee time management. There was also a homeowner who we walked out of his house next to the course in nothing but his whitey tighties to get his mail. Pretty funny

Not a course for a serious golfer

I wanted to get a quick round in and booked without reading anything about the course which turned out to be a mistake. Tee time was 8:15am and when I arrived there were 24 golfers waiting on the first tee. After waiting 30 minutes to get to #1 we then had to wait an additional 15 minutes on each of the following tees. After 3+ hours to get through 9 holes, I packed it in an left.

The only positive I could take away were that the greens were in fact green and in relatively good shape considering the rest of the course. There really isnt anything that can be said for the rest of the course that would be even remotely positive.

All in all, it was a very poor course and should be avoided by those golfers that enjoy playing courses such as Pevely, Aberdeen, Mo Bluff, etc. Even for $25 this course was not worth it.

Had rain today.

I've played this course more than a few times. As long as you don't care about some rough fairways at times,a bit of slow play you'll probably have a good day of golf.

Ladies league

My round of 18 holes started off with a blast and ended with a blunder... As I approached the green of the ninth hole I noticed heavy volume of lady golfers whom were all seniors teeing off on hole one and heading to hole ten. Needless to say it appeared I was unable to finish out my game of which I paid to play 18 holes, after numerous attempts to play pass the groups of senior players, it turned ugly real fast. I surrendered and headed back to clubhouse after hole 12.... I was reimbursed $5 and a smile from the staff and a suggestion to return on a Monday in order to prevent this from happening again...

Fair

The pace was very slow, fairways were in rough condition with a lot of dirt and not a lot of grass. Encountered a friendly staff member, but also encountered a grumpy staff member on the 18th hole that was not friendly at all. He had told us to hurry up on the green because people were waiting for their shot to the green when it took us 6 hours to play because of the slow pace.

Spring time conditions

If the fairways grow in, the course should be great. Greens recently aerated and were slow but this should be expected at this time of the year. Design of course is odd at times for example a par three on the front and back nine are side by side with foursomes on the front nine having to wait for those on the back to tee off
