Venue Overview

Riverview Golf Course is a semi-private 18-hole golf course in Sterling, Colorado, widely regarded as one of the premier golf destinations in northeastern Colorado. Designed by Val Heim and opened in 1980, the course plays to a par of 71 across 6,466 championship yards, with a slope of 126 and a rating of 69.6, and has been voted the best golf course in Northeast Colorado for 15 consecutive years.

About the Course

Riverview Golf Course stands out on Colorado's Eastern Plains as a full 18-hole championship layout in a region dominated by smaller 9-hole community courses. Designed and long overseen by Val Heim Jr., a PGA of America member based in Sterling for decades, the course established a reputation for quality conditioning and thoughtful design that has kept it the top-rated golf destination in northeastern Colorado for 15 straight years. Today, the course and its associated pro shop operations are run by Brent and Jessica Fiscus of Plainsview Golf, Inc., who continue the tradition of quality golf that Heim built the club's reputation on.

Practice Facilities

Riverview Golf Course offers a driving range along with rental clubs and rental carts, giving golfers a full complement of practice options before teeing off on the championship-length layout.

Dining and Amenities

Riverview Golf Course operates year-round, welcoming golfers with an open guest policy and tee times available throughout the season. The course accepts major credit cards and allows metal spikes, and its full-service pro shop supports golfers of all experience levels playing the 18-hole layout. Three distinct tee sets, from a 5,032-yard forward tee to the 6,466-yard championship tee, allow golfers of every skill level to find an appropriate challenge on the course.

Lessons & Instruction

Riverview Golf Course was designed and long operated by Val Heim Jr., a confirmed PGA of America member based in Sterling, though PGA of America's directory currently lists his membership as a retired Life Member rather than an active teaching position. After a thorough search, no current actively teaching PGA professional could be confirmed for the facility under its present ownership. Golfers seeking formal lessons should check with the pro shop directly for current instruction availability.

Tournaments & Events

Riverview Golf Course hosts golfers from across northeastern Colorado and beyond, drawing on its 15-year reputation as the region's top-rated course. Its full 18-hole championship layout makes it a strong venue for larger tournaments and multi-flight events that smaller 9-hole courses in the region cannot accommodate. The course draws players from across the South Platte River Valley and beyond, cementing its status as a true destination course for the region.
