Esther’s Course A – Lakeside: From the Tee Box 

Esther’s Course A – Lakeside

Meandering gracefully around a chain of sparkling lakes, this scenic layout offers a tranquil yet challenging experience. Fairways trace the shimmering water’s edge, demanding precise shot placement to avoid the strategic water hazards that guard many greens. Gentle breezes off the lakes add an unpredictable element, while lush tree-lined banks and vibrant wildflowers frame each hole with natural beauty.

​

This is a thinking player’s course—where risk and reward are balanced on each hole. Deep bunkers, water hazards, and tightly mown run-offs guard the greens, punishing the careless but rewarding the bold. Scenic yet mentally demanding, Riverside rewards patience, smart strategy, and a sharp short game from start to finish.

​

Signature Holes

​

  • Hole 3 – “The Mirror”
    A short par four where the fairway runs tight along a perfectly still lake, reflecting the sky and trees like glass. Any drive drifting right risks a watery penalty, rewarding precision off the tee.

​

  • Hole 7 – “The Peninsula”
    A breathtaking par three offering a scenic view across the lake, with sparkling water stretching along the entire right side. The hole is guarded by a deep sand trap on the left and a steep drop-off on the right, demanding absolute precision off the tee. Any miss left risks being buried in sand, while a miss right could tumble down the slope toward the water below — making this one of the most dramatic and unforgettable shots on the course.

​

  • Hole 9 – “Twin Shores”
    A dramatic par five that runs between two expansive water fronts, forcing players to thread their shots down a narrow fairway flanked by glistening lakes on both sides. The approach shot plays to an elevated green fiercely protected by deep bunkers, demanding both distance control and pinpoint accuracy to escape with par.
