Very affordable and the staff was very generous with their time and assistance in making this part a success. Jennifer went above and beyond to make sure we had everything we needed.

Only one hole I remember was side-by-side with another. WOODS and tall trees line every fairway. My round was in early,early spring. Bermuda is barely coming in. Fairways are very, very thin. Greens were very slow and must have had a hard winter. As usual, not many folks fixin' ball marks. Everything looked as is if it will get better as it grows. Water does not drain well on any hole. Lots of mushy fairways, puddles on the paths. Standing water somewhere on every hole. Some perfect drives disappeared into the mud. Price was right, $36 total: includes cart, range balls and tax.

Spoken like someone who has no idea what it takes to run, maintain, and operate a course of this quality. I have played this golf course with my Grandfather since I was 5-6 years old.

To add to Tony's comments from 10 years ago, I have played Riverside since I was a kid and sadly it…read morehasn't improved. While the clubhouse is nice, the burgers good, and the staff friendly, the course itself is at best a raggedy, neglected goat ranch. So it's a 'good value' only in the sense that you're not paying much for a crummy course. Fairways are mainly low-cut weeds and crabgrass, while the greens are low-cut dead weeds and lumpy, hardpacked dirt and sand. The course is in the hood, and the sound of not-too-distant gunfire not uncommon. If you're intent on going, watch yourself and don't leave valuables in your car. If you have a carry permit, carry. Riverside is bordered on the east by a noisy expressway, on the north by a gravel pit, and the water Tony mentions to the west is not the Mississippi River, but McKellar Lake - the smelly, highly polluted, garbage-filled Memphis industrial harbor. There are prehistoric remnants of cart paths between #1 and #2, between #4 and #5, and between #5 and #6. The actual course layout, while short, makes a primitive but fun track with many deep ravines, hills, thick woods, overgrown areas, and OB to the right on 7 of the 9 holes. Most holes are par 4, with one par 3 and one par 5. Also, plenty (as in plenty) of snakes, so don't go poking around in the rough or down in the ravines - even though you see brand new golf balls down there. Insects of every description (mainly mosquitos, flies, gnats, ticks) are plentiful. In short, this course and it's ancient layout could be a gem if the city spent some money on it, maintained it, and improved security. Don't mean to be overly-critical, but out-of-towners and other neophytes need to know what they're getting into. If you're looking for a decent municipal course in Memphis, go to Overton Park GC on Poplar Ave or Galloway GC on Walnut Grove Rd. And watch yourself.

Really a great value. It only has nine holes. But for $14 with cart. Wow. It's close to Downtown…read moreand pretty well maintained. Plus you can actually see the river. A quick review of the course is it's a little hilly. There is no sand or water. The first 6 greens seem to be a Bermuda hybrid which makes it a little difficult to putt. And there isn't a cart path. So don't let these things surprise you. Another neat feature of this course is they have foot golf. Three days a week they close the golf course for soccer golf. It's 18 holes and you actually kick soccer balls from a tee box into 50 gallon cans they have sunk into the ground. Nice alternative for the younger crowd who don't want to play golf. This really is a great option for a quick round of golf. Make sure you check with the course for tee times before you go. It's regular golf 4 days and foot golf the other three. I hope you will enjoy it as much as I did. Have fun and hit them straight.

I was hesitant to stay on site because based on the description of the cottages being in a "shared" area and a golf course in MS I thought it might be old and worst than the Hampton Inn. I was glad when we got there. Check in was easy and only one other room in our cottage was being used. Parking was right there and the cottage was updated, clean, and comfortable. I am very glad we chose to stay on site. The common area was large and the rooms were separated enough so noise would not be an issue. Windows looked out on lake.
