Friends of Riverside Golf Course

06/02/2026

It was a beautiful day at Janesville Golf Courses - Riverside & Blackhawk!

We’ve been working hard to make Riverside a place you’re proud to spend your summer and it’s starting to show. After purchasing new patio furniture, the City of Janesville, WI helped install new deck boards and updated paint to the railing!

More umbrellas and additional tables & chairs are on the way too, this outdoor space is going to be something special.

A huge thank you to the City of Janesville, WI for working with us and investing in this course alongside our community. And a special thanks to Ryan Tully and our favorite ambassador Forest for helping beautify the annuals and flowers around the deck.

This is exactly what it looks like when people show up for a place they love.

Phase Two is IN PROGRESS and Riverside is leveling up! 🏌️

Six fairway bunkers have been eliminated and several more have been completely redesigned for better drainage, and improved playability across the board. The course is transforming right before our eyes!

Here’s what’s changing:
Holes 1, 2, 5, 6, 13 & 18 - bunkers eliminated

Holes 4, 6, 13, 14 & 16 - bunkers redesigned & updated

Every change built for better play AND easier maintenance

Best part? We’re on track to wrap up well before the WPLA Ray Fisher Golf Tournament!

The best days at Riverside are ahead.. stay tuned!
