Originally a very mediocre 9 hole course, Riverside expanded to 18 holes a few years ago and I played the inaugural tournament.

The stretch of holes from 8-14 and #17 are exceptionally good wooded holes that offer a variety of shots and ever so slight changes in elevation. This is where the course truly stands out and challenges a player both to make good shots and to make good approaches when the tee shot fails (of course you always have to make your putts).

The first three holes are just average, but holes 4-7 are long, unobstructed and boring. Only the big arms will reach them. I have a similar memory of the 15th and 16th, as well as #18. It is a shame that more care didn't go into the design of each hole and the overall layout (it would be very difficult to follow if I hadn't been in a tournament with locals as the guide).

There seemed to be a lot of land in the more wooded area that was going unused and it's a shame that so much of the track was devoted to a glorified distance competition. The wooded holes offered variety, what little elevation there is out there, and alternated between left, right and straight shots. The rest required only distance and it didn't matter at all if you missed way left or right (you were still going to be a long way from the pin for your second shot).

While I did pretty well in the tourney, it's not a course that has ever screamed to me to return. It's pretty good for the area, but the area is not much fun to visit (the city itself is extremely conservative and boring, as evidenced by having the most fascist state senator).

Not a great destination for any reason.

it was easy to navigate for the most part. Some of the holes are challenging. The river and the woods around it make for a beautiful setting.

there were missing signs on a number of the holes and unless you're a pro some of those holes should not be a par 3. Discouraging to other disc golfers who are more casual and it's extremely hard for them.
