Riverfront Golf Course

Frequently Asked Questions

When is the absolute best time to experience Riverfront Golf Course?

We always recommend late June through early September for Riverfront. The fairways are lush, the greens are running true, and you'll avoid the early season chill and late season dampness that can sometimes creep in. Plus, the river views are just stunning under the summer sun.

What's the most challenging or memorable stretch of holes at Riverfront?

You absolutely have to brace yourself for the "River Run" stretch, holes 14 through 16. The 15th, a par-3 directly over a river inlet, demands a precise carry, and the wind off the water can turn a good shot into a splashdown in an instant. It's a true test of nerve and club selection.

Is Riverfront Golf Course a good value for the green fee?

We think Riverfront offers excellent value, especially for a course with such unique riverfront exposure. Expect green fees to be in the mid-range for Canadian courses, but the consistent conditioning and memorable layout make it feel like a premium experience without the premium price tag. You're paying for a truly distinctive round.

How are the course conditions typically at Riverfront, especially the greens?

Riverfront consistently delivers well-maintained conditions; the grounds crew clearly takes pride in their work. The bentgrass greens are usually firm and fast, offering a true roll, but be aware that the river's proximity can sometimes make them a bit softer in the early morning. Fairways are generally pristine, giving you a great lie.

How busy does Riverfront get, and what's the typical pace of play?

Given its popularity and relatively short Canadian golf season, Riverfront can get quite busy, especially on weekend mornings. We recommend booking an early weekday tee time if you prefer a quicker round, but even during peak times, the course marshals do a decent job of keeping things moving. Expect a 4.5-hour round on a busy day.
