Practice Facilities
Riverside Country Club offers an excellent driving range featuring a Learning Centre, a three-hole short course (complete with sand bunkers), and two large practice greens to provide a complete practice facility for you to work on your game from every aspect.
Driving Range
The driving range opens half an hour prior to the first tee time and closes Tuesday and Friday mornings for maintenance (6:30 a.m. - 9:00 a.m.). The range closes half an hour prior to sunset each day, with the exception of Mondays and Thursdays when it is closed earlier to pick range balls. Use of the practice range and practice range balls are included in membership fees.
