About Riverside Golf Course

Riverside Golf Course is a beloved Austin municipal course along Grove Boulevard near the Colorado River in East Austin, one of the city's most storied and affordable public golf options. The course occupies low-lying terrain along the Colorado River's south shore, with mature pecan and live oak trees lining tight fairways that reward accurate ball-striking over brute power. As one of Austin's original municipal courses, Riverside carries deep community ties to the east side neighborhoods that have surrounded it for generations. The course is affordable by any standard — a genuine democratic golf experience in a city where green fees have escalated alongside housing costs. Walk-on play is feasible on weekdays, and the relaxed, neighborhood-park atmosphere makes it welcoming for golfers of all backgrounds. The course benefits from the Colorado River's cooling effect, and early morning rounds offer peaceful views across the river bottomland.

History

Riverside Golf Course is one of Austin's oldest municipal golf facilities, established along the Colorado River to serve the working-class east Austin communities that have surrounded it for generations. The course has remained a constant community anchor through East Austin's dramatic transformation — from a historically African American and Latino neighborhood to one of Austin's trendiest and most expensive districts — maintaining its democratic, affordable character throughout.

East Austin residents and budget-conscious golfers across the city who value history, community character, and genuine parkland play at a price that won't require checking the budget.
