About this course

Riverside Golf Club's 9 Hole Par-3 course is located in Fenton, Missouri, a suburb southwest of St. Louis in the Meramec River valley. Walter Wolfner designed this short course as a practice and recreational facility within the larger Riverside Golf Club property. Par-3 courses of this era typically served as training grounds for beginners and as quick-play options for members seeking to work on their short iron and wedge game without committing to a full round. The course occupies relatively flat terrain characteristic of the river valley bottomlands in this part of St. Louis County. Nine holes of varying par-3 lengths allow golfers to practice approach shots and green-reading skills in a compact layout. The design likely emphasizes straightforward hole corridors with minimal hazards, focusing on accessibility rather than strategic complexity. Such courses often feature small to medium-sized greens and serve families, junior golfers, and members looking to play in under two hours. Riverside Golf Club itself has been part of the Fenton community for decades, serving as a local facility in a region where golf has maintained steady recreational interest despite the area's humid continental climate and seasonal playing conditions. The par-3 course complements the club's other offerings and reflects a mid-century American approach to making golf more approachable through shorter, less intimidating formats.

Getting there

Riverside Golf Club sits just twenty minutes south of St. Louis Lambert International Airport (STL), making the approach as direct and unhurried as the club itself demands. The drive from the airport traces a gentle descent through the suburban envelope of the greater St. Louis region before the landscape softens along the Mississippi River valley, where tree-lined roads signal entry into Fenton's quieter precincts. For those arriving by private aircraft, Spirit of St. Louis Airport (SUS) offers a closer alternative, positioning you mere minutes from the club's entrance. The final miles unfold with the river drawing near, a subtle reminder of the region's water-bound character, before you arrive at Riverside Golf Club's welcoming grounds.
