What each hole asks of you.
Hole 2
Par-four along the Milk River with water in play on the approach. Hardest hole on the card — pick the safe line off the tee.
Hole 3
The Big Boy — Riverside's signature hole. Longest on the course at 494 yards. A reachable par-five for the long hitters, three honest shots for the rest of us.
Hole 4
Short par-three through the heart of the layout. Don't get cute with the club selection.
Hole 5
Short but tricky par-four — uphill to a perched green. Club up; the second shot plays longer than the yardage.
Hole 6
Shortest par-four on the card and the easiest handicap. A breather between the longer holes — make a birdie if you can.
Hole 7
Long par-four — the second-toughest hole. Demands a good drive to leave a manageable approach.
Hole 8
Par-four bending toward the Sweetgrass Hills on the horizon. Often the prettiest view of the round.
Hole 9
Closing par-five — downhill, with water guarding the approach back to the clubhouse. A score-shaping hole; finish strong.
