Nine Holes in the Firs
A short, scenic executive course threading through the firs - open to the public, and an unexpected pleasure on an island this small.
A nine-hole walk through the trees.
The Riviera Golf Course is a well-kept executive nine-hole course tucked into the Riviera community. The greens thread through tall firs with island homes scattered around them, and the pro shop and parking sit just across the street. It's compact and walkable, the kind of unexpected amenity that makes a small island feel bigger than it is.
It's open to the public, daily from dawn to dusk. Riviera members golf at member rates and get pro-shop discounts, but anyone can book a tee time and play. When you're done, the Lakeshore Restaurant is right across the street, on the lake.
The pro shop has you covered.
A full-service golf shop handles tee times, greens fees, and rentals - so you can show up without your own clubs and still get a round in.
Full-service shop with a good inventory, plus club and cart rentals. Greens fees are paid at the shop. Run by Molly Miller, LPGA.
Sun-Wed 9am-5pm
Thu-Fri 9am-7pm
Sat 8am-6pm
Weather permitting
Set up a player account to book online, or call the shop at 253-884-9634. The course is open dawn to dusk daily.
The Lakeshore Restaurant is right across the street.
Step off the ninth and the Riviera Lakeshore Restaurant is just across the road on Lake Josephine - the island's one restaurant and a genuine gathering spot, with a meal, a microbrew, and on some nights karaoke or live music. It's the natural end to a round, and it's open to the public too.
For hours and the menu, see Local Services.
