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.

You want to see water ?
Nice course, fast greens. We played with a grandfather and his grandson. Perfect day
Glad to have survived
Course was OK overall but fairways & greens could use some better care, water, etc.
Too easy to lose a ball right or left cause almost anything off center finds extra run & like a lot of Fl courses all fairways fall off to the side.
Biggest problem? NO WATER for golfers. Cart service? NOPE.
That ok, get something at the turn, right? No service or clubhouse at #10. UNBELIEVEABLE for. Fl course to not have cart service or water. C’mon guys!
Sunday in February
I was able to book a tee time for 3 players on Sunday afternoon when most other area courses were not available. We had an acceptable experience. Staff was nice, greens were in good shape, pace of play was okay- 4:hours, 10 minutes. However, fairways and tees were in poor condition.
Course is typical for Florida— flat, water, and sand. Most holes are surrounded on both sides by houses. No particularly memorable holes.
Hello, u526850270. Thank you for leaving us a review. We are sorry to hear your experience was anything short of 5 stars, but we hope you will give us another try in the future. Thank you for choosing Riverside Golf Course.
Good Value During Area’s ‘High Season’
Played early afternoon round on Super Bowl Sunday. Staff members Mike (clubhouse) and Reggie (starter) were welcoming and accommodating. Finished in just over four hours. Greens were fast and true. Fairways a but thin (dry season?) and thus your ball would get quite a bit of extra roll. Sand traps were in decent shape. We very much enjoyed our afternoon at Riverside and hope to return again soon.
NOT SURE
CAN'T DECIDE IF I LIKE. HOUSES ARE VERY CLOSE TO COURSE WHICH MAKES SOME HOLES TIGHT. NOT A GOOD WALKING COURSE. WAY TOO MANY HOLES THAT ARE SPACED OUT VERY LONG. FAIRWAYS WERE OK, NOT PLUSH. GREENS WERE GOOD TO FAIR. WILL TRY ONCE MORE TO MAKE A BETTER JUDGEMENT

No carts after 5pm
The staff was extremely friendly, but in the interest of giving this place a fair review for the average golfer, I must be honest. We scheduled a 2:30pm tee time, and after a 40min drive, we were notified that all carts must be returned by 5:00pm (sunset was 6:30pm). The driving range mentioned in the listing was only allowed for the residents of this 55+ Community. We played 9 holes and will cross this off the list for future play. Not worth the drive.

Great Friendly Staff
I was impressed with the friendliness of the staff. It is a nice golf community. You cannot beat friendly inviting folks at the course and they have it! I liked the course. The fairways could use a little more grass, but I could always find some to hit off of and the greens were in good shape.
Great shape.
One of the better courses in the area. I love playing there and the staff is always smiling and helpful.
The greens are in great shape and are undulating so there are no gimme putts. We play the tips and despite the course not being long it is not any pushover.

Gated Community Golf
The staff were helpful and welcoming. We were paired with a couple that lived at there. Pat and sue were a fun couple, good hosts.
I'm not a fan of the housing development golf courses. Just too busy with people hanging out in their lani's and chatting, playing music, dogs barking, etc, the course has a few well designed holes, a few average holes and a few hole that are jammed in between the houses.
