Riverside Golf Club

Located near Mildura on the south bank of the Murray River, with tight, tree-lined fairways routed around natural billabongs, the course at the Riverside Golf Club extends to 5,831 metres from the back markers, playing to a par of 72.

Holes are arranged as two returning nines, with water only ever coming into play at one hole, the par three 7th, where the tee shot must fly a billabong to the green that lies beyond this aquatic hazard. The round ends in dramatic style with a 146-metre par three hole that plays to the home green right in front of the clubhouse – hit the tee shot too hard and you’ll end up out of bounds behind the putting surface.

Highlight holes include the tough, right doglegging 3rd (rated stroke index 1); the first (and shortest) of the four par threes on the card at the 4th; the shortest of the par fives at the left doglegging 11th; and the short par four 13th which turns 90 degrees right to the green less than fifty metres from the target – it’s rated stroke index 18 but birdies are by no means guaranteed at this quirky little hole.
