Riversdale is handily located in the suburb of Mount Waverley and easily accessible whether it is from the city (20 minutes on the freeway) or any other south eastern suburb of Melbourne. The fairways are amongst the best around with Santa Anna couch spread throughout and improved drainage means that even in the Winter the course will always be in good condition.
The dining facilities are tastefully appointed and overlook the course with large windows to help to create a sense of openness, which translates into a friendly and warm environment.
Riversdale Golf Club is also home to the Riversdale Cup, Australia’s premier amateur event, which is traditionally held each year at Riversdale over the Labour Day weekend.

This will be a quick review by my standards, but it doesn’t need to be long winded. This course is amazing in just about all facets. It is difficult to fault it. Sure it is short in some parts but the Par 5 15th (I think)is a solid 520m uphill! But the short Par 4’s are no gimmes either.
I enjoyed this course far more than Moonah Links Open course, but then they aren’t the same ’type’. Still, I know which course would get my $100 if I had to choose…
All in all, superb. Greens, fairways, tees, trees, service, staff. You name it and they do it well. There is an air of ’pomposity’ about the place due to its exclusivity but I reckon that’s the Green Eyed Monster in me more than anything.
The only reason I don’t give this course 5 stars is that I believe that is a ’perfect’ score. And as I have quite a few courses left in the world to play (!!) I want to give myself room to move… :)
If you are lucky enough to get a round here, do not knock it back.
