Riverside Golf Course

Riverside parkland nine beside the Maribyrnong, with range, dining and a sporting hub vibe

Riverside Golf Course is a public 9-hole parkland course in Ascot Vale, Victoria, set alongside the Maribyrnong River with a par of 35 over 2478 metres. The layout features five mapped bunkers and large sloping greens that test players of all levels. On-site facilities include a driving range, putting green, pro shop, restaurant/dining, coaching, plus cart hire, club hire and parking.

Riverside is widely regarded as a relaxed, accessible course tucked into the back streets of Ascot Vale, with its riverside setting and open outlook drawing consistent praise. Players frequently describe the fairways as well kept and the greens as true-running, and many single out the middle stretch around holes 4, 5 and 6 as a highlight. The friendly, welcoming staff come up repeatedly, as does the venue's broader appeal as a sporting hub with a driving range and dining for functions and celebrations. The on-site kitchen and bar earn a mixed reputation, with some guests delighted by the food and views and others finding meals inconsistent. A handful of reviewers note that pace of play and course conditions can suffer on busy or wet weekends, so quieter times may suit those seeking a smoother round.
