Riverside Municipal Golf Course, designed by legendary architect Geoffrey Cornish, has earned a reputation as a player friendly course and yet is one of Southern Maine’s more challenging layouts. Many of New England’s ranking amateurs and professionals test the 6,406-yard North Course annually during the Maine Open and Greater Portland Open.
Rolling hills and a traditional beauty give the Riverside golfer a feeling of spaciousness and relaxation. But the challenges are subtle: there lurks sand, bogs, trees and more.
The adjacent South Course, a 9-hole layout over 2,900 yards, is fun to play – and walk. It’s especially popular with beginning golfers, juniors and seniors. In some years the North and the South courses account for 70,000 rounds, with much of that play generated by the Men’s and Women’s Riverside Golf Associations.
