Riverside Golf Course
(Directions) There’s an enduring legacy behind the layout at the Riverside Golf Course in Fresno.

Over the years, we’ve kept that spirit of the past alive. All the things that Billy Bell was known for -- distinctive greens and bunkers – are still here. It is a great place to play for those who love the history of golf.
