Dodge Riverside Golf Club

Council Bluffs sits on the eastern edge of Nebraska's Great Plains, separated from Omaha by the Missouri River — a landscape of river bluffs, loess hills, and wide open Midwestern sky that gives this part of western Iowa its distinctive, rugged character. Dodge Riverside Golf Club takes its name from the river corridor that defines the area, and a municipal layout here means golf that belongs to the community rather than to a private membership.

The Missouri River valley setting suggests terrain with more topographic interest than the flat cropland most people picture when they think of Iowa. Loess Hills courses in this pocket of the state tend to offer genuine elevation change, tree-lined corridors, and the kind of playing ground that rewards course management over raw power.

As a public facility in a metro area served by both Council Bluffs and Omaha, Dodge Riverside functions as everyday golf for a large regional population — accessible, unpretentious, and the sort of place where regulars develop real affection for holes they've played hundreds of times.
