Alright for what it is

Alright course for the money (it seems you can play with cart for around $25 most any time), but certainly not the top course in the immediate area. Concessions (specifically beer) are incredibly overpriced. The staff was very curt and short with everyone I saw them interact with, and not at all friendly. Fairly slow pace of play. I'm not sure if this is due to the very awkward layout of the course and distance between some holes, or just a busy afternoon. Course not terribly challenging, and was in pretty poor shape for the first day of June. Lots of dirt fairways and weed clumps for rough. For my money, in the future I'll pay a few bucks more in green fees to play a nicer course, and with less pricey food and drink I'll still come out ahead.

grassless

great roll on drives(no grass) better hit the green or your rolling well over. Small greens, more slants on the greens than the flat course. NOT worth $25, and that seems cheap on the weekend.

Course is ok. Decent value

Good greens, bad fairways, too much denim. Tee boxes need work. Decent value for $25. The course could use a marshal. I saw two different groups of 5 walking. That should never be allowed. I would recommend no walkers on weekends before noon and never have a group of more than 4.

A bit rough

Not in great shape, but is early in the season. I've played this course in the summer and was very nice. But it had rained the night before and things were a bit soggy. Plus, the grass has not started growing yet, so many lies, evern on the fairway, were on dirt or mud. Greens were playable, but the rolls were less than desireable. Give it a month.

Slow

6 hours for 18. I don't know if this means I got more bang for the buck, or of the cheap price made this not worth it.

Ugh! Ya get what ya pay for.

So, my buddy saw a Golf Now posting for Riverside Golf Course for $20. He thought it would be a great deal. Well........ Not so much, as he found out.
Frost delay pushed beck our tee time, not a big deal, and the staff were very courteous and friendly. Nice.
But, the course is just in such poor shape that it made it very tedious to enjoy the day.
Bare lies in all fairways and the rough. Newly aerated greens with way too much top dressing, made putting an adventure. No fringe. Small greens. Bad conditions. Why did you make me play here? Well, I guess we got what we paid for!

Decent Run

Riverside has a nice staff and the course is pretty good.

We booked 18 but only ended up playing the front 9. It was fall, so it's hard to really tell the caliber of this course without playing it in the spring/summer, but I can imagine it is a pretty average course.

I have and will play here regularly.

Staff is horrible!!!!!!

Arrived for my tee time and I had my 7 year old son with me. Starter stopped my cart and asked why he was with me. I told him that he likes to ride along and every now and then I let him putt if there is no one waiting for us to clear the green. He told me that he was too young to ride along and that I had 2 options, either pay full price for him to ride along or get a refund and play the par 3 course. I told him that I have been playing this course for years and never had an issue with him riding along before. He told me that they were to busy to have a 7 year old on the course. I told him I will gladly take my refund and never play this course again! I assured him that I will also make sure to tell all of my golf friends about this experience.

Great course for the beginning golfer

I was with a beginning golfer for this most recent round. B/c of the ease of the course and few hazzards in front of the tee boxes, it made for an enjoyable and encouraging day. The wide fairways and light rough make this a forgivable course.

Longest game of my life.

Arrived prior to tee time and ended up waiting almost 30 mins to tee off. We were stuck behing 4 large groups and they apparently were behind a tournament of sorts. 5+ hours for a course that should have only taken 3. Greens were in good enough shape but we had some terrible bounces on the rock hard fairways.

A good round of golf

Greens and fairways in good shape. Need to work on their tee boxes on most of their holes though. For the money, it was well worth it.

Easy course, great for a quick, inexpensive round

This is a fairly easy course that is great for a quick round that should not frustrate you. The fairways were dry but hittable and the greens were in good shape and fairly soft for as dry as the weather has been, so they are being maintained. The rough was very dry and hard, however. Not a spectacular course, but a great one to build some confidence and a great value.

Acceptable

This course is short and easy. Several bare spots in the fairways and the greens are slow and bounce a lot. It's the kind of course you take someone to teach them how to play.
