I would like to give this course a higher number. Very, very nice staff inside! They have a snack person that can give you a nice hamburger or hotdog that are definitely homemade as well and a fair price. They have a grass range and a hitting area with mats. Unfortunately, on the grass range they don't have any club cleaners. Another minor concern is when you buy range balls. You have to walk to the golf cart hut, and then back over to the range. Might consider putting one a little closer to where you'll actually hit balls. Stay with me, only a few more complaints... The greens are really really slow. I'm from the San Francisco Bay Area where all the greens are fast and true so maybe that's the grass that they're using I never hit one past the hole. Maybe a me thing . Not sure if they can cut them much lower. Some of the tee boxes need attention. I just played two clubs back or basically found a tuft of green grass. Layout isn't that bad, it's just not very memorable. I'm not trying to bash them... OK, the good things: When you enter the course, nice big parking lot. They also have a very large covered area for eating outside after a tournament for gathering. The grass range is nice, again the club cleaners are needed. There are two practice greens, although one has dying grass, and the other clearly has invasive species introduced to that grass area. There's also an executive nine on the property! This is great for folks that don't have a lot of time or are new to golf. The course is flat so it is very walkable. It's a muni course, if you're a single, you can't book online, you need to call and they'll pair you up with someone no problem! Just go have fun, the staff are really good. read more

Course is a mess, pace of play is non existent, good for people who could care less about etiquette or actually playing golf Consistently had 4 or 5 groups a hole with groups from other holes hitting into your fairway Not worth the $40 in any way shape or form Every other course in Nashville is better Writing this from 9 green as we pull off calling our round early cause it's not worth finishing read more

The driving range was decent and the staff were great, but unfortunately the course conditions didn't match the price. The tee boxes and greens were in pretty rough shape, which made it hard to enjoy the round. The layout of the course also isn't the best, as there are several spots where other holes run close together and people are constantly hitting into your fairway. It also felt like there were always groups stacked up in front of you. I really wish the course was in better shape because it has some potential, but right now it just doesn't feel worth the money. read more

Pros - Once summer is under way, this course greens up well. Greens are soft and slow (good for beginners). Fairways are decent. A good value for the price. Cons - in June, several holes on the back (14,15,16) have stagnant water ponds and the mosquitos are horrible. Management really needs to address this issue to prevent someone from getting West Nile. read more

I am not an avid golfer; however, I'm trying to golf more. My golfing instructor worked her for 3 years and recommended me come here. I have been here before but this time I was taking it more seriously. This is a great course for someone like me. They don't have strict rules as far as attire goes, even though I do I have proper attire. If you don't, it's no biggie. It's not the most beautiful course I have ever seen but it was still challenging. My husband and I came out and had a great time. He beat me but I didn't do too bad. I will definitely be back! I know the reviews are mixed and I'm not a "golfer" but my father has golfed here and he is an avid golfer, he also said it wasn't bad. Give it a chance! Great for beginners and intermediate golfers; however, pro golfers will still enjoy it. read more

52 dollars to play on sand and choppy greens and horrible fairways. It is by far the worst course I've ever played at. Go to another course for 10 dollars more for a better experience. Truly trash, and ran like trash Edit: For as busy as they are, a 52 dollar green fee, should be put towards the course, and you can tell Pennies on the dollar are put towards that trash. When the course cost 25-30 bucks I'd play there. For 52, I'll never step foot on it again read more

The driving range here is small, which is a pain, but the short course was a lot of fun to play. My buddy and I wanted to play a round of golf super last minute and literally every course was booked or wanted $100+ for a round, even Riverside Golf Links! As we paid for bucket of balls for the driving range the pro shop attendant said the 9-hole course was basically open. So we played it! It's still winter so the greens weren't green, but the course was empty and easy to play. Only two holes required a driver, 3 and 9, most you're good with only using irons. A great course to play to work on your short game! read more

Just played the Executive course. It was terrrrible. Fairways were okay but tee boxes and greens were the worst I have ever played. The greens on the eighteen hole course that I could see along the way didn't look much better. We have been over 90 degrees every day for the past few weeks with little rain so that's probably part of problem. read more

Not worth it, it was over $50 for a round and half of the greens were more sand than grass. The other half were pretty awful too but not as bad. I've played here many times but stopped because the grass is terrible. Came back and figured it might have grown back in by now... but I was wrong. Talked with the staff after playing about the cost and condition and they told me no discount or refund. For the greens he said he wasn't in charge of maintenance and had no idea when or if the greens would be fixed. Many other good courses around, don't bother going here. read more

Of course was in really good shape when I played today. Love all the upgrades they've done out here. Staff is friendly and cooperative. I'll be playing this golf course on a lot more. It's an absolutely great value. read more

You get what you pay for. Rates are pretty cheap, but the course reflects the price. Pace of play is TERRIBLE. read more

Decent course. There are definitely much nicer ones in the Nashville area but $33 for 18 ain't bad. The conditions are fair and the greens are in fine shape. Difficulty level is low. Few hills and obstacles make this a good practice course for amateurs, like myself. Make sure to stop in the clubhouse for cheap beers and awesome cheeseburgers! 4/5 read more

Riverside Golf Links - It's Miller time - Golf Near Me - Old Hickory, Tennessee

Had a good round with friends. Not a bad price to get out for a quick 18. I'll play here again.

this course is out right awful. There is little to no grass anywhere but on the greens, which are long and slow. dirt was everywhere.

Apparently in the last week or so the course has come under new management. It is too early to judge during these times what if any changes are going to happen. I have walked the executive (9 hole) course and ridden for the 18 hole course. Prices are a couple of bucks above metro parks. Driving range balls seem expensive. The driving range is grass and has plenty of room. There is little shade on really hot days. Having said that - this is an "open" course with not a ton of trees. The fairways are relatively open. Some of the greens are tiny "Dart boards" really forcing you to be accurate with your approach shots. Some of the greens have some burnout areas around the edges. I am not a huge fan of the new online tee reservation system. It forces you to pay a cart fee for the regular course and will not allow you to reserve 9 holes. You can reserve for the executive course. Overall this is a nice course that generally has tee times available during the weekdays. read more

This is the absolute worst course I've ever played. $30 is overpriced it honestly should be $5 for 18 and a cart. No grass in the fairways and the greens are fluffy and slow. Dirt everywhere. Vinyl Links at Shelby is now better than riverside and it's a par3 course. Legacy, long hollow, country hills etc. bunch more that are way better than this place. Wish someone would invest and restore it. read more

I played this course when it was just a 3 par and a night course (loved to play it at night). When my buddy suggested it, I thought why not. I was greatly surprised to see it had grown into a 27 hole beauty. It is quite picturesque and plays really fun. The greens are in excellent shape and the difficulty to hit the fairways is perfect for us "weekend golfers". The club house food is excellent. The burger special is a MUST try. All in all, a fine day of golf was had by all. I am so glad my buddy discovered this new gem. I look forward to many more rounds at Riverside. read more

The greens were in great shape along with the rest of the course. The clubhouse worker was also very polite and helpful to the group I was with. This 27 hole course is perfect for anyone of any skill level! read more

The fact they charge people to play at this course is a joke. Picture the worst greens you've ever seen, then double it and you'll have Riverside. Pathetic. read more

Course was nice. Can see they are making improvements throughout the course. Staff was nice and they offer good drink deals.

Played the short nine hole course. Liked it. Hard to complain about the place when you can play for almost the same price as a bucket of balls and get around (walking) in under 50 minutes. Sure there's room for improvement in the fairways and tee boxes but these are the conditions you should expect for twelve bucks. Staff members seem fine although our interactions were brief. Can't speak for the alcohol situation but will definitely be heading back to play again so there will be another day to look into that. read more

Riverside Golf Links - Scorecard for the short 9 hole executive course. - Golf Near Me - Old Hickory, Tennessee

See all

This course is not worth the time or money. First off it is 20 dollars to play an abysmal 9 hole "executive" course. You can play a metro real 9 hole course for that much. Second I had a 1145 tee time and there were two groups waiting to tee off with the earliest being 1130, so they were over 30 minutes behind schedule. It was honestly the worst golf course experience that I have ever had. The course itself is not in the best shape and it is the easiest course that I have ever seen, the only redeeming quality that this place has is it has a decent range, so unless you are going to the range do not waste your time read more

Terrible service pro didn't look up at the desk to say hi or anything.Course in awful shape gave full rate 1 minute before twilight. Will never be back not worth the money. read more

Riverside Golf Links - Golf Near Me - Old Hickory, Tennessee

Course was in great shape for this time of the year. While we played, I saw employees filling in divots, blowing leaves from the fairways and ensuring that players maintained the proper pace. I had not played the course in several years but I will return very soon. The cheeseburger at clubhouse was really good and amazing value. I definitely think Riverside is a hidden gem. read more

Great friendly service in the clubhouse. Affordable green fee. Course will be very nice after weather improves and their seeding comes throw. Just need to improve the driving range. read more

Great course for beginners! Short course with wide open fairways & not a lot of obstacles! If you are just now starting out I'd go here. Staff has always been very friendly & it is easy to get on. They also give out carts past 4:30PM which is hard to find in Nashville. read more

My favorite thing about Riverside is that they have never lost that "small town golf course" feel. It's not a course that is PGA ready, nor does it boast the difficulty of other courses, but Riverside doesn't need to. It is a comfortable, relaxing course with an absolutely amazing staff. Greens and fairways are amazingly kept up for the price. Decent snack selection in the pro shop. Fantastic instructor Garrick Malone, always ready to offer a kind word, or quality instruction, especially for the juniors! I recommend this course for beginners, or players who simply want a relaxing, non rushed session. It's a course that your grandpa would tell stories of, it has a very nostalgic feeling and the staff make you feel like you've been a regular for years even if its only your first visit. Also, stopping by after a short work day and winding down on the Executive Course (short 9) is the perfect ending to the day. Riverside is an inexpensive, relaxed, old soul course that checks all the boxes without unnecessary accoutrements. It serves a purpose and let's people golf on a budget, at a much nicer than "budget" course. read more

The new owners have really done a great job with this course. If you haven't played here in a while do your self a favor and check it out. 18 Hole Course, plus a challenging 9 Hole Par 3 Course within the 18. The price is right, you will not feel the pressure of 'high end' courses, it is a great perfect place to teach a youth the game, or let your wife start learning the frustrations of this crazy game of Golf. read more

Don't really do reviews but felt the need to for this course. Was hesitant about my round before hand due to the reviews here on Yelp. Was pleasantly surprised. Great course with fast greens and wide open on a Saturday! Takes to the pro shop about the reviews and they admitted that previous reviews weren't wrong but since the course has been under new management they have really turned things around. Will definitely be back again! read more

Had a great time with my son! We appreciated getting out to play without a tee time

The course is ok... It's normally pretty busy so it plays slow. Barney is the golf pro there and his is the best golf instructor I've found! He can help anyone from beginner to very advanced! read more

Course is complete dried out and greens are in terrible shape. Pace of play is always extremely slow. Not coming back.

I have never had a worse experience as a customer in my life. I purchased a Groupon for lessons and rounds of golf. When trying to play a round, I booked a tee time, and when we showed up they wouldn't let us play because the time of play was restricted for Groupons. They made us wait for over an hour when they weren't even busy. On top of everything, when I tried to ask and figure out why none of the details/restrictions were listed on the Groupon or emailed to me, I was told to calm down or get off their property. I will use the remainder of my lessons and rounds and NEVER give them another dime. Also, I spent hours online trying to figure out how to even book a lesson. The calendar they tell you look at has NO events for the whole year, and no one answers the phone number listed on the Groupon and signup emails. Also, the lessons expire BEFORE the date on the Groupon, which in itself is unethical. I also vouch for other reviews that the course is terrible. It's completely flooded in areas so you can't even drive your cart on the path. It would have been nearly impossible to walk your clubs and not get filthy. read more

the course was almost all dirt, tee boxes were hard as rocks, fairways weren't good at all the sand bunkers were ok but there was little rocks in them, greens were absolutely awful, I couldn't make any putts because of the awful greens. it rained a lot yesterday too so there isn't much of an excuse of rock hard fairways greens and teeboxes. I would have rather spent 10 extra dollars to play a decent golf course. all I can say is you get what you pay for. read more

The condition of the course is well documented but I want to show some love and give 4 stars for customer service. The location doesn't take water well which leads to the poor conditions. However, the course is not usually overcrowded like most in this price range. The holes are challenging just wish for a smoother putting green. Has both a 9 and 18 hole course. Fun place to get a round in if you're a casual golfer. read more

Great golf Course for men and women to play together. Enough long and short holes for everyone to have a great time! Great price! My favorite in Nashville! read more

This was the WORST golf experience I have had in 10 years. This course was in ABOMINABLE condition. It was akin to playing golf in Beirut. There was NO sand in the bunkers, the fairways were patchy and ignored, but the worst thing was the GREENS. They were DISEASED. Seriously. These people looked us in our eyes and claimed the course was in "good shape". If this is good shape, I'd hate to see what their home lawns look like. Thank God we only paid for 9 holes. They should close this place down. $17 for 9 holes sounds like a steal, but after playing 9, I wanted my money back! Ugh. read more

This was the slowest round of golf in my life . My wife and I are not great but we were the best golfers we saw on the course. Nobody appeared to know the rules and for sure didn't know anything about etiquette . It took over five hours to play the round. We did see the ranger twice but moving play along was apparently not his job, all he did was check the water supply. This was our first time there and the last read more
