THE LINKS AT RIVERSIDE

The Mississippi River floodplain creates an unexpectedly links-style challenge in the Mid-South, where firm fairways and strategic bunkering reward placement over power. Wind off the water turns what appears to be a straightforward public track into a thinking player's course, especially on the back nine where elevated greens demand precise approach shots. This is legitimate golf architecture disguised as a municipal facility—a rare find where green fees won't break the bank but the design will humble your handicap.
