If you’re looking for a low-key family-friendly golfing experience, Riverside’s 18 holes mini golf course provides a relatively easy putt-putt course suitable for all ages.

If you’re serious about your mini golf then it’s not a particularly challenging course and doesn’t have lots of fancy features (no windmills), but the course is often quite empty so you can enjoy a putt without having to wait for people in front of you.

There’s not a lot of shade so it’s best to go early or late in the day to avoid the heat and glare.

For avid golfers, the Riverside Golf and Sports Centre is a wonderful spot to practice and test their skills. The main golf course is composed of well-watered large sloping greens that deliver a good trial and test of golfing capability for players of all levels.
