If you are looking for a good place to hold a reception after interring a loved one at Riverside National Cemetery, look no further than General Old Golf Course. We hosted an event there on 28 October 2025.
Logistically, it’s perfect and super easy being just 3 minutes from the cemetery, making it incredibly easy for guests to find and navigate.
Food: They prepared an excellent light lunch of sandwiches and salads, and also offer a full bar and soft drinks. Everything was fresh and beautifully presented.
Cost: Very reasonable pricing options, they provide great value for both the setting and the service.
Atmosphere: We hosted a luncheon for about 50 people on the covered patio. It was lovely and serene, with peaceful surroundings and a great view of nearby military aircraft (we even saw C-17s and MV-22s flying by).
Military-Friendly: My father was a veteran, and I appreciated how the venue honors and respects those who have served — it felt like the right place to gather in his memory.
Finally, the staff was excellent; incredibly accommodating, professional, and kind. They took care of everything and made the entire process seamless.
Highly recommend General Old Golf Course for anyone seeking a beautiful, respectful, and convenient venue near Riverside National Cemetery.

This place is really nice and I like the fact that it’s only a short rock throw away from my house. I currently signed up for golf instructions with Greg and have been visiting the location in a weekly basis trying to improve my game. I’m by no means a professional and really consider myself a true beginner, but I’m definitely enjoyed my time here. Everyone that I’ve met so far has been friendly, welcoming, and encouraging as I ask 1 million questions about everything. If you’re in the Riverside or surrounding area give this place a shot.

Just played on a beautiful day but the upkeep of the course is once again very disappointing. When speaking with the staff it doesn’t seem like anyone cares from leadership (Kiki) to the groundskeeper who travels around in a cart with his dog but never seems to be doing anything of value. Shout out to Parker as he seems to be the only one who cares. A course technically owned by the government should not be represented this way. Do Better!

Have played here multiple times and love it! Great for walking or riding. Wide variety of holes. It's especially nice to see varying lengths of Par 3's. It's one of those courses that has a really fun layout, not favorable to either a draw or fade. At times the condition is a little sub par. But I'm okay with that as they keep it really affordable. If you haven't subscribed to their emails, make sure to do that because they have special 2 for 1 days and all kinds of deals.
If you like to walk and take your dog with you, beware of the coyotes. One round I was walking with my golden retriever and a coyote starting stalking us, it was like a national geographic moment in the wild...just at the right time, one of the groundskeepers came by in his cart and scared him off. You can see the coyote in the photo.
All that to say, well worth your time for the price.

Overall good value. The tee boxes are acceptable, the greens are firm and roll true (only minor flaws on some greens). The surrounding green grass cuts are great for chipping and well maintained. The bunkers are very thon, but not entirely rocky, so play a tight lie.
It was our first time there, and the fairways looked really green! Once you ride out there though, you'll notice the fairways are made up of small patches of new grass (review my photos). Overall, sjots in the fairway weren't totally compromised, and when the grass grows more and connects, the fairways will be even! The layout is good for beginners and the greens are challenging for advanced players. Carts are comfy (no GPS), and they have a great practice facility. Grass mats, two chipping greens, and 1 putting area.
