Officially opened in 1951 on the south banks of the North Saskatchewan, Riverside is a challenging course built on the site of the old Dawson Mine, which provided Edmonton\u2019s thermal heating coal for many years before closing in the 1940s, according to the Riverside Day Ladies golf league<\/a>.<\/p>\n \t\t\t\t\t\t \n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t1:54 \n\t\t\tMore on Lifestyle Construction work this year will affect operations at Riverside, the city noted.<\/p>\n Beginning in June, crews will start working on upgrades to the irrigation system and other infrastructure improvements across the course. EPCOR is also upgrading the water main off Rowland Road.<\/p>\n The city said it will also reconfigure the cart path from the hole eight green to the hole nine tee, the green and fairway at hole five and the cart storage\/staging area next to the clubhouse, according to its construction bulletin<\/a>.<\/p>\n Story continues below advertisement<\/p>\n Once construction begins, one hole will be closed for work each week, with a temporary hole in place from Monday to Friday. Closure and construction updates will be shared with golfers by the team at Riverside. The clubhouse and all facility buildings will remain accessible to the public during construction.<\/p>\n The city said several trees must be removed before construction starts in June and a handful of new trees will also be added to select areas of the golf course.<\/p>\n Construction is expected to be complete by the end of 2026.<\/p>\n City of Edmonton course info<\/p>\n Regular operating hours for the city\u2019s golf courses typically begin at 6 a.m, and the city said it will begin opening at that earlier time as weather conditions allow.<\/p>\n All three courses accept walk-ons and drop-ins via the pro shop. Green fees vary depending on the age of the player, day of play and start time.<\/p>\n For an adult, Riverside and Victoria are both $54 Monday to Thursday and $65 Friday through Sunday.
