Blue Top Ridge at Riverside Casino
Iowa's finest public course
About this course
Blue Top Ridge at Riverside Casino & Golf Resort is an 18-hole, par-72 public golf course in Riverside, Iowa, designed by Rees Jones and opened in 2007. The layout spans more than 7,400 yards across three distinct landforms: prairie on the front nine, a river plain along the Iowa River, and hillside terrain on the back nine. The par-5 16th hole, at 665 yards, plays across a creek that splits the landing area. Flooding from the Iowa River damaged the course in 2009, and it reopened in 2011 after the affected holes were rebuilt.
