The golf shop was 4 star especially when you consider the location. Business hours say close at 6. I walked in at 5:40 and asked if I could get a small bucket of balls." No I close at 5:30 " was the response. There was nobody in the whole place shop and range but me and the person running the register. I have worked in the golf business off and on for over 15 years in total. Why would you not let a person hit a small bucket of balls ( less than 40) at 5:40 on a summertime evening? It's easy money, not inconvenient, and just the correct thing to do in my opinion. I would have much rather given a great review of the shop and courtesy of the attendant. Heading out the drive I did notice the miniature golf course was in disrepair and had tree limbs of 8 to 10 ft laying on and around the course. The shop as I say looked great.

Very bare bones but acceptable range. Hitting off mats only. Irons and hybrids only while I was there. Distances well marked. Some covered bays if its raining. Although the range is "minimalist", there is an extensive and well stocked pro shop with golf equipment. The "Par 3 Mini-Golf" course is not maintained. I can't comment about the RV Park -- no experience there.

Important note not specifically mentioned on their website: there are no bathrooms, showers, or laundry machines at this campground, so you must be self-contained. The camp area itself is just a couple of gravel roads and grass sites. Most sites are close together. Most campers, while we were there, were long-term residents, and a couple of the RVs/campsites looked run down. Unfortunately, we were placed next to one of these where the guy who lived there didn't always pick up after his bulldog. Unhooking to leave was like walking a minefield, plus we could smell it inside our RV. Additionally, there is no security here, and during our stay, a homeless person came into the campground with a pitbull she couldn't control that attacked our neighbors dog. This was after 10pm. Bottom-line, we don't recommend this place and did not enjoy our short stay.

I had a terrific experience getting fitted for a set of golf clubs, I didn t know what to expect since I ve never been properly fit before. They made it soooo easy and it was fun! I m expecting to see improved scores just knowing my clubs are fit for me. I highly recommend this to anyone wanting to take their game up a notch. Thanks again! Randy and the crew are some of the best people around!

I had a club fitting today February 1st with Randy & Dennis Morgan. I have to say the most knowledgeable, professional and experience you can find in a golf shop with two great golf fitters. I am so happy with the results I got with a new set of Ping G425 irons. They evaluated my swing speed, shaft type and everything I needed to improve my game. I highly recommend any golfer looking for a new set of clubs. By all means let Randy and Dennis personally fit you to help improve your game!

Just stayed the night with our RV. Pictures of this place are deceiving. It is in desperate need of a face-lift. Holes, standing water, not enough gravels in rv spots and very messy full timers spots. I would not stay there again.

Wow, what a golf shop! Top notch equipment to go along with an even better staff. Completed a club fitting with Randy yesterday. Such a positive experience from a really knowledgeable and great guy. Definitely give Randy a try for all your golfing needs

Out-freak'n-standing people. After staying here, I have two more people to send Christmas cards. Randy and Dennis, along with everyone who works there are more friendly than most family members.It's a perfect place to come and relax, or grab the clubs and hone those golfing skills. You can have the crew work on your glubs while you're staying there.The location is close to restaurants, shopping, and don't forget to grab some local cuisine and pick up some chicks at Rural King. No! Really! They sell chicks there.Come out, swing a few clubs, hang out in the pro shop with the locals. Memories will last a lifetime.

the man in the golf shop was very rude and arrogant. he looked at us like we weren t meant to be there. probably should have worn a polo and khakis if we wanted good service.

It s a shame this looks to have been a loved and cared for place but its in need of a lot of help! Sinkholes, Dilapidated mini golf course, trash piled up in front of the monthly renters. Over priced $40.00, Reason for the three star review is the staff was very helpful and we did get a peaceful night sleep. If you found this review helpful please give us a thumbs up and follow us around as we drive our beautiful country!

Came in looking for a camping spot. The man in the golf center was a little rude and very dismissive to me. Guess I should have worn a polo and Sperrys. Very dissappointed as I had heard good things about this place. Campground could use some landscaping and upgrades. It's like a trailer park for campers with a mini golf course.

When I first started golfing I found that many places I went were very unfriendly, disrespectful, and downright hateful to a newcomer. They acted disgusted that I would even ask to play their course or driving range. I had done my research so I was dressed properly and I learned the rules before I even tried to go to these places and yet they treated me badly. The first time I walked into Riverside Golf the staff greeted me with a smile. I have been back several times and the staff are always courteous and respectful. They are more than willing to help you and they go the extra mile. They even let my son borrow a kid's iron to hit a few balls the one time I took him with me without us even asking. I live about 45 minutes away and I still drive by 5 golf courses to go to this driving range. This is by far my favorite driving range and the staff make each visit worth the trip. If you are just looking to practice or hit a few balls drop by this place and you will not be disappointed.

Randy will go out of his way to help you. A lot of up to date golf equipment, he has or will get what you need. Great repairs and grips; nice driving range with cover for rain. Titleist new releases will be in Friday.

Spent 2 days here. Campers appear secondary to golfers even though it s just a driving range. 95% of campers appeared to be homesteading! Looked like they had been there A WHILE!Spend some money on lawn mower for grass areas and fix major drainage issues. Camping sites flood when it rains!Will find another spot next time. Staff is extremely friendly thought.

Took my son to play putt putt the course has no water feature although they have waterfalls and lagoons but only dirty mosquito infested stagnant water. The putt putt greens were so old many rips and tears. They had put patches in areas on the greens. The concert path ways from hole to hole was broken and in disarray....my son actually fell and skint his knees......now the positive...if you are a golf pro the driving range and pro shop is nice prices are high but nice stuff

My first time on a driving range. Really a challenge for me, but enjoyed it. If you like my review select LIKE.

Not sure how this place has TripAdvisor stickers on their door but the putt putt course for kids is ok. It was $2 for kids to play. 18 course. Despite the peeling carpet What's not ok is how the water part is empty and if you don't watch your kids like a good parent ought to, someone could get hurt. The man working was polite but as we were playing, it really was quite uncomfortable to have people living in RVs right next to the putt putt course watching us.

Carpets were in awful shape on putt putt course, there is not water there anymore and it is an ugly mess where water used to be, and pipes on the double and trickle decker holes are broken, and our balls got stuck in one. If you aren't going to fix it up or maintain why keep it open? An ugly mess

Nice place but never open to use the grass for woods. Ample space and well stocked but not the ideal driving range.

After checking in four 4-nights we discovered that we needed to leave after 1-night. Was pleasantly surprised when they refunded us in full for the unused nights.

I wouldn't recommend for the vacation traveler. It's more of a place for long term campers. Not kept up very well. Basic needs were met, though.
