Blue Top Ridge Golf Course

Blue Top Ridge Golf Course is a championship layout in Riverside spanning approximately 7400 yards across varied terrain with natural features combined with man-made water hazards and river vistas. The design incorporates multiple tee positions that accommodate players of different skill levels while presenting distinct challenges throughout the routing.

The course opened in 2007 under the design of Rees Jones, a prominent golf architect known for creating multiple U.S. Open and PGA championship venues. Jones applied his expertise in championship course design to this Iowa location.

The course maintains traditional golf standards through a specific dress code requiring collared shirts for men and appropriate golf attire for women.

The facility provides golfers with complimentary amenities including club cleaning, practice balls before rounds, and GPS-equipped carts for navigation. These services contribute to a comfortable experience while playing the full layout.

The course carries a slope rating of 146, placing it among more demanding layouts and reflecting the technical difficulty embedded in its design. This elevated rating stems from the combination of natural hazards and strategic water placement throughout.
