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.

Riverside. Golf CLub
Very nice track that I have played at least 5 times in the last two months. Very well kept,very friendly environment, pace of play is always good. A bit challenging but a lot of fun to play. Great staff also....
Riverside
This course is located within a 55+ community. I found it difficult to locate. . The golf shop allows players to go off as singles and doubles. While playing I saw only four groups - a foursome, then twosome, me, then another single. I caught up with the twosome after the third hole. Play was very slow. By hole 10, the single behind me and I joined forces. It was still slow. We couldn’t get a rhythm going. No water on course or restroom. No ranger on course. No course layout on scorecard. Good news is there were signs as to where the next hole was located. However, you were SOL if a car or truck was obscuring the sidewalk entrance to your hole. That was our case. We were briefly lost as we meandered through the golf community. Not a fun time.

Cart person needed
I was disappointed that on a 80 degree day. That there was not a cart person driving around to see if anyone was thirsty or hungry for a snack or sandwich.. the course had good layout and the greens rolled quite well.

Greens are true and great condition
The course conditions are horrible (except the greens which are exceptional). Clearly the Supt. knows what he is doing on the greens. To bad it did not translate to the fairways and tee boxes. Most are dirt or dried grass

Nice old course
Challenging layout from blue tees. Houses are tight on the right on many holes. Playing partner lost a few due to his slice. Greens were in good shape although I had a tough putting day. The only reason I didn’t rate higher was the fairways. Very dry and missing lots of grass.

Fun Course
Greens were in pretty good shape but the tee boxes and some areas on most fairways need a lot of work,
Great price for a course in the area on a Saturday and an enjoyable round. Marshall kept the pace moving, we finished in a little over 4 hrs.

Staff very friendly and accomodating!
Fairways extremely dry and need of water.
Tee boxes and greens in pretty good condition.
Great course to work on your game!
Nice course for seniors
We were a threesome ages ranging from 30-60 yrs. Pace of play considering most players were 70+ was good. Tee blocks and fairways in rough shape (very dry and sparse) but greens were beautiful and challenging. Water and sand traps nice challenge. Disappointed there were no beverage carts or break at hole 9 to grab a drink or snack. Overall average course and decent price for average or below average golfer.

Much Improved Conditions, Excellent Staff
Played a mid-day weekend round as a single. Was paired up with a very nice twosome. Conditions were challenging as sustained winds were over 20 MPH, with gusts approaching 30 MPH. Round went quickly with no waiting, although course was not crowded. Starter and pro shop staff were friendly and accommodating. Conditions were much improved over the last time I played this course (over a year ago). Greens were quick and true. Sand traps were in good shape. Tee boxes were not so great, but this was the only (minimal) drawback. Would return again, especially at the price point this course offers.
