About the course
Historic parkland layout with city glimpses, lakes and Augusta-like elevation
Riversdale Golf Club is a private parkland course at Mount Waverley in Victoria, Australia, established in 1892 and designed by Alex Russell. It plays to a par of 67 over 5,768 metres, with tree-lined undulating fairways, stone bridges, lakes and 116 mapped bunkers. Facilities include a driving range, putting green, pro shop, restaurant and dining, cart hire and parking.
Players consistently describe Riversdale as a beautifully presented, shorter parkland layout set on rolling, hilly terrain not far from the Melbourne CBD. Reviewers often note the excellent course conditioning, the abundance of water in play, and the elevated clubhouse views that take in the semi-open fairways and glimpses of the city skyline. The routing is sometimes called slightly unconventional, but the layout is regarded as solid and genuinely enjoyable, with a reputation as a fun, fair test that rewards repeat visits. Off the course, the club draws frequent praise for its dining, hospitality and attentive, welcoming staff, making it a popular choice for functions and corporate events as well as golf.
