The Riverside Golf Club was opened in January 2000. It was the dream of Ravenstonedale local, Bernard Law, who single-handedly created the course and who now maintains it. Bernard has featured in 'The Link', the local parish magazine for Orton, Tebay and Ravenstonedale with Newbiggin-on-Lune. The article is reproduced here. The course has generated a membership of loyal locals and a following of visitors who return regularly. Anyone who plays the course and enjoys exceptional luck can join the hole-in-one-club or even the odd-shot club.

In addition to providing a valuable leisure amenity for members and visitors alike the course is available for special occasions. Events for which the course has been used include Stag Parties and Business Groups. The course hosts the annual Ravenstonedale Open which offers a great day out and is open to everyone.
