Riverside Country Club

The golf : Riverside is flat with narrow, tree-lined fairways and average-sized greens. The highlight here is the spectacular, peaceful setting on the shores of Brazoria Lake and the Brazos River. Spanish moss covers the trees and the lake divides the course in half, coming into play on 10 holes. The course is loaded with bridges that enable golfers to traverse the lakes, jumping from tee to green hole after hole.
The toughest hole is No. 16. Ironically, it doesn't involve water, but doglegs left for 432 yards and requires back-to-back A-game shots to reach the green in two.
