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.

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.
After 3 holes heavy down poor,,
I called Golf now , explained the situation. The person called riverside golf club and confirmed my issue
He credited the amount I paid on golf now right away
Thank you

Pretty Good Course - Bring Your Own Water
It was our first time playing the course and for the most part we were pleasantly surprised. The tee boxes are in repair (aerated and grass a little longer), the greens were very good but a little slower than other courses but no disease spots like the others, fairway was in pretty good shape but the rough is very rough where you need to roll to grass to continue to play.
One irritation I have with courses is if they don't have water on the course given the excessive rates we pay most of the year. Here they have water at the clubhouse so I assumed there would be water on the course too. Instead, all we found was a pop machine at the 12th hole where we had to spend 7.50 for 2 waters to stay hydrated. If they would tell you there's no other water, we would bring our own or get 2 cups at the clubhouse. We should have asked but it's just silly not to have a jug or two along the way or tell people when they check in to bring more with them.

Short but Challenging…..
Love this course for the challenges it presents. Some bare spots in fairway, but not bad overall.

Challenging Course
The wind and layout off this course make it challenging. Played several times within last 6 months. Pace was a challenge when we ran into a course regular foursome of elderly gentleman. Once they cleared out at hole 12, pace picked up tremendously.

Good Greens, Hope To Return Soon
Reggie and Mike welcomed us upon our arrival and we got off about 25 minutes later than tee time due to how crowded it was. However, once on the course we played at a decent pace and never were held up by the foursome in front of us nor pushed by the foursome behind us. Finished in 4 hrs., 20 minutes (which is not great, but much better than expected on Easter weekend in Florida). Greens were in good shape with no bare spots or repair marks. Greens were not as fast as usual but rolled true. Fairways are a bit thin so you may have to move your ball a foot or two to place in on a patch of turf. Sand traps were in excellent condition. All-in-all it was a good experience and we will return.
Played Riverside
The course was in good condition, pace of play was very acceptable and had a fun time.
Not a good place
The start was not very good, as we were kept back as the people we were supposed to play with had not turned up, and they then sent 4-balls out before us, even that we had a confirmed tee time, until they had a 2 -ball that could join us. And that 2-ball was not really golfers so we had to get away from them as the held up the people behind. Poor management on the course. Will never play it again. Not worth the money and time.
