 Riverside
sees lots of play,
including championships
Riverside Municipal Golf Course, designed by legendary architect
Geoffrey Cornish, has earned a reputation as a player friendly
course and yet is one of Southern Maine’s more challenging
layouts. Many of New England’s ranking amateurs and professionals
test the 6,406-yard North Course annually during the Maine
Open and Greater Portland Open.
Rolling
hills and a traditional beauty give the Riverside golfer a
feeling of spaciousness and relaxation. But the challenges
are subtle: there lurks sand, bogs, trees and more.
The
adjacent South Course, a 9-hole layout over 2,900 yards, is
fun to play – and walk. It’s especially popular
with beginning golfers, juniors and seniors. In some years
the North and the South courses account for 70,000 rounds,
with much of that play generated by the Men’s and Women’s
Riverside Golf Associations.
