Van Buren Golf Center
About this course
Van Buren Golf Center operates a public facility in Riverside, California, featuring the Van Buren Day course designed by Murray Nonhoff. The course serves the Inland Empire region, where golf remains accessible year-round due to Southern California's Mediterranean climate. Riverside's relatively flat terrain and developed landscape provide the setting for this municipal-style layout. Nonhoff's design work in California during the mid-to-late twentieth century typically emphasized playability for everyday golfers while working within budget constraints common to public facilities. The Van Buren Day course reflects this practical approach, offering a straightforward test suitable for players of varying abilities. The routing likely incorporates mature trees and water features characteristic of established Southern California public courses, with bermudagrass fairways and greens adapted to the region's warm, dry summers. As part of Van Buren Golf Center, the course functions within a larger practice and instruction facility, serving both recreational rounds and skill development. The center's location along Van Buren Boulevard places it within Riverside's suburban corridor, making it accessible to local residents and visitors traveling through the region. The facility represents the type of affordable, no-frills golf that sustains the game's grassroots participation in densely populated areas of Southern California.
