Riverside Golf Club

Riverside Golf Club is a par-3 short hole course located in Ravenstonedale, a village in the upper Eden valley within the Yorkshire Dales National Park in Cumbria. The 18-hole course features 9 greens with fairways ranging from 70-140 yards, designed for accessibility and short game practice. Opened in January 2000, it was created and is maintained by local resident Bernard Law.

Set in picturesque wooded terrain nestling beneath the Howgill Fells, the course offers undulating greens surrounded by outstanding natural beauty and peaceful countryside. While designed as an ideal introductory course for first-time golfers of all ages, it presents a high degree of difficulty for experienced players due to its character and demanding green complexes. The setting features local wildlife including red squirrels, and a nearby pub provides convenient dining.

The club welcomes both members and visitors through an honesty box payment system. Beyond regular play, Riverside hosts the annual Ravenstonedale Open competition and accommodates special events including stag parties and business group outings. The course has been recognized among the best in the area and maintains an active hole-in-one club for those achieving this notable feat.
