Riverside Golf Zagreb
Zagreb
Riverside Golf Zagreb is a practical and enjoyable choice for a Croatia golf holiday, especially for golfers who want to combine time on the course with a city break in Zagreb. Set on the south-west side of the city near the Sava River and opposite the Jarun sports and recreation area, it offers a green, relaxed setting while still being close to the Croatian capital’s restaurants, culture and nightlife.
The venue offers 27 holes, with an 18-hole Championship Course and a 9-hole City Course. The Championship Course plays to par 72 and measures 6,403 metres, with 11 lakes adding challenge, strategy and plenty of risk-reward moments throughout the round. The shorter 9-hole course is a par-35 layout measuring 2,257 metres, making it useful for beginners, warm-up rounds or mixed-ability groups.
For visiting golfers, Riverside is especially appealing because it is so easy to fit into a short break. The club has practice facilities including a driving range, covered long-game area, putting and chipping greens, a bunker area, plus a clubhouse with terrace, restaurant and hospitality services.
As part of a Zagreb golf holiday, Riverside works well as a relaxed city-course option or as part of a wider Croatia itinerary. Hashtag Golf Travel can help arrange the right flights, hotels, transfers and tee times, keeping the trip simple from arrival to final putt.

About The Area
Zagreb is Croatia’s capital and a brilliant city base for golfers who want an easy mix of golf, culture, food and short-break sightseeing. It is less coastal-resort focused than destinations such as Istria or Dalmatia, but that gives it a different appeal: compact city life, relaxed cafés, historic streets and golf close enough to the centre for a simple day out.
The main venue is Riverside Golf Zagreb, located around 15 minutes from the centre of Zagreb beside the River Sava. The facility offers 27 holes, with an 18-hole Championship Course and a 9-hole Executive Course, making it useful for both serious golfers and mixed-ability groups. The Championship Course is a par-72 layout measuring around 6,403 metres, with 11 lakes shaping the challenge, so water management and accurate approach play matter throughout the round.
Golf in Zagreb is best from spring to autumn, with April to October generally the most practical playing window. Summer can be warm, so morning tee times are a sensible shout, while spring and early autumn give comfortable golf weather and a more relaxed feel.
Off the course, Zagreb has plenty to keep a golf group busy. The city’s tourist board highlights sights such as Zagreb Cathedral, Mirogoj Cemetery, St Mark’s Church, the Museum of Broken Relationships and Dolac Market, with many attractions within walking distance. The city also has a strong café culture, restaurants, parks and easy access to day trips such as Plitvice Lakes or the surrounding countryside.
For golfers seeking an underrated European city break with accessible golf, good food, culture and a relaxed capital-city atmosphere, Zagreb is a practical and enjoyable Croatian golf base.
