Nice course but few amenities

This course is nice to play. You van get a vit disappointed durung the fist 3 holes which are very short, but the back holes are really nice. More amenities would help have a better time.

Love this course

Was playing with a couple of buddies who are newer to golf and some of the golf staff including the head pro made us feel excited about playing. Golf course staff should meet their guest with a big smile and find a way to make their guests feel welcome and that’s what we experienced.

The course condition was excellent and despite open fairways the greens and are around the green made for some fun and challenging golf.

The Food staff was extremely kind and willing to throw in a hand to help with carrying drinks and again with a smile.

After fees we payed $33 per person making it incredibly affordable.

I have to give it up to the course and it’s staff despite not wanting to attract to much attention to this gem that’s not overrun like some of the other public courses.

Best value golf in austin

Played here the most in austin, first of all there is drinking water almost every hole…so that’s a huge plus where some courses you pay $70+ and maybe two or 3 water jugs. Very fun layout, for the money you pay you can’t find a better deal here in austin. The staff has always been super friendly and glad to see you even if they’ve never met you before! Riverside is the most underrated course in austin…def worth it go and play!

Hot day but plenty of coverage

Overall the course is in great condition and due to all the trees around all the tee boxes and down every fairway, we were able to get releaf from the heat.

Hot Tuesday in Austin

I was in town for some down time, and this was my first time at this course. The staff (one guy) in pro shop was very cool and friendly. He recommended a few restaurants and such. I liked the course. My only real complaints were the greens were heavily sanded and it was BYOB and there was no grill open. Other than that, its a decent track that I would like another crack at some day.

Riverside Down

Paid $50.00 for a mediocre experience. I've been playing Riverside for years. This was the 2nd worse condition I've seen.

Solid Muni

Riverside is a great muni. If you’re looking to get out with some friends for a fun round play here. Some greens and tee boxes are doomed and are sand but besides that course is fine. Also is BYOB which is pretty cool
