Riverside Country Club

Frequently Asked Questions

How can a non-member play a round at Riverside Country Club?

This is a private club, so getting on isn't as simple as booking online. Your best bet is to know a member who can invite you as a guest; that's how we've always played it. Alternatively, check if they host any charity tournaments open to the public, which is a rare but possible way in.

What are the must-play holes or unique features at Riverside Country Club?

You absolutely can't miss the stretch from holes 14 to 16, which directly hug the river. The par-3 15th, with its elevated tee shot over a marshy inlet to a green framed by old growth trees, is particularly memorable and demands precision. The river views here are truly spectacular, especially in the late afternoon.

When is the best time of year to play Riverside Country Club for optimal conditions?

We always recommend late spring or early fall. The course is in pristine condition then, and you avoid the intense summer humidity that can make the back nine feel like a slog. Plus, the river breezes are much more pleasant, and the foliage offers stunning backdrops.

What's the biggest challenge golfers face at Riverside Country Club?

The biggest challenge here is definitely course management around the river. It's not just about avoiding water; the subtle elevation changes and prevailing winds off the river on several holes demand careful club selection. Don't let the picturesque views distract you from the strategic demands, especially on the back nine.

What other amenities should I take advantage of at Riverside Country Club besides the golf course?

After your round, definitely grab a drink and a meal at the clubhouse restaurant-the views from the patio overlooking the 18th green and the river are fantastic. Their historic clubhouse also has a great pro shop with unique gear, and if you're a guest, the practice facilities are top-notch for warming up.
