The Riverside Golf Club is located on the banks of the Murray River in the City of Mildura. The golf course features 18 grass greens and watered fairways set amongst majestic river red gum and box trees. Riverside is home to abundant native bird life, particularly water birds that nest in the natural billabongs adjacent to the Murray River itself. Enjoy the licenced clubhouse that is open every day including public holidays, excluding Christmas Day. The on-course golf shop is open every day for equipment, snacks and drinks. Visitors are more than welcome to join in competition days.

Murray Valley Championship Honour Board
The Murray Valley Championship was a prestigious golf event held in Mildura, last played in 2014. Although it is not strictly a Riverside Golf event, we currently have the trophy, so I thought it would be useful to add it to our online Honour Board. It was played over 72 holes, it was 36 holes on Tuesday at Mildura and another 36 holes on Thursday at Riverside, The event was won by many talented golfers, and I have compiled a list of some of those I know about. Apologies if I missed anyone.
