Several holes feature play from elevated tees to fairways laid out in valleys below with forested hills and waste areas with native grasses framing a number of holes. Nature will play its part in determining your final score – pockets of wetlands create wildlife havens continuing an eco-friendly theme prevalent on all MBK owned courses. Riverdale features Salam Paspalum grass on the tees and fairways, and MiniVerde Ultradwarf on the greens ensuring year round playability.

Playing strategies are defined by numerous hazards from sprawling white sand faced traps and deep sod walled pits to sandy wastes dotted with dune grasses. The design favours intelligent play, with risk and reward options presented boldly, or subtly, on most every hole.
