Public 18-hole par 65 parkland course in North Riverside, minutes from Launceston
Riverside Golf Course is an 18-hole, par 65 parkland course in North Riverside, Tasmania, Australia, established in 1948 and open to the public. On-site facilities include a driving range, putting green, pro shop, coaching, cart and club hire, parking, and a restaurant/dining area.
Just a short drive from Launceston's centre, Riverside enjoys an attractive parkland setting that visitors often pair with the area's abundant birdlife and easygoing atmosphere. Players frequently praise the greens and greens surrounds, and many describe the course as a genuinely enjoyable, friendly round, with welcoming staff at the clubhouse and bar adding to the day out. The design is generally seen as straightforward rather than dramatic, suiting golfers who want a relaxed, walkable layout. Course conditioning draws a more mixed reputation: while many find it well presented, some have encountered longer rough and fairways that felt in need of a tidy-up. Overall it carries a reputation as a solid, approachable public course that most are happy to play again.
