Riverside Golf Course

The Saco River winds through this classic Maine layout like a golden thread, creating natural hazards that demand both precision and course management on at least six holes. Pine-lined fairways reward aggressive drives while punishing wayward shots with thick rough and towering evergreens that frame each hole beautifully. What elevates this public gem above typical municipal fare is the brilliant use of elevation changes throughout the rolling terrain, particularly the downhill par-3 12th that plays two clubs shorter than the yardage suggests.
