Riverside Municipal Golf Course is a municipal public golf course owned by the city of Portland, Maine. It is located on the banks of the Presumpscot River.[2] Built in 1932, it was expanded to an 18 hole course in 1937 through funding from the Works Progress Administration. The course is used for skiing and sledding in the winter.[3]
From 1938 to 2010, Riverside hosted 42 Maine Open tournaments, the most of any course in the state.[4]
