Golf
One of Georgia’s best courses
Opened in 2005 by famed golf course architect, Greg Norman, The River Club merges his appreciation of the native landscape with his strategic design skills to create what many are calling the very definition of a true world-class golf course!
Measuring 7,197 yards from the championship tees, the 18-hole championship layout plays to par 72. The River Club’s signature hole is the 163-yard Hole #17, which plays from an elevated tee, just behind the clubhouse, to a beautiful island green.
Audubon International has designated River Club as a Certified Audubon Cooperative Sanctuary. This certification recognizes the efforts we have made in environmental stewardship through participation in the Audubon Cooperative Sanctuary Program for Golf Courses. Under this program, we continually strive toward best management practices in environmental planning, wildlife and habitat management, chemical use reduction and safety, water conservation, water quality management, and outreach and education.
The River Club has garnered many accolades in its short history and has been the host site to three US Open Qualifying Competitions. The River Club ranks #18 in Golf Digest’s Best In State Rankings for 201516!
As you play the golf course, you will experience two completely different nines. The Front Nine was masterfully designed with the natural terrain and winds through century-old hardwoods and the residential community. The player will experience a sense of peacefulness with no parallel fairways. The Back Nine offers an enchanting “park-like” setting along the Chattahoochee River plain with vibrant wetlands.
The River Club is a Certified Audubon Sanctuary, assuring that its pristine natural condition will remain forever. With five sets of tees plus a family tee, The River Club will offer a wonderful playing experience for all skill levels.
