CEC Golf Design Group Redesigns the Riverside Country Club Golf Course


Greater Valley Area residents seem to love playing golf. It is the most popular amenity at Riverside Country Club is the golf course. The 9-hole golf course used to be plenty sufficient, but population growth in the Greater Valley Area—brought by Kia and military expansion at nearby Ft. Benning—inspired the building of new home communities such as Quail Run and Riverside Estates. With many new developments in the works, Riverside Country Club began ambitious renovation and expansion to prepare for growth in membership.

Riverside Country Club is now a state-of-the-art, championship 18-hole course. In addition to adding new holes, CEC Golf Design Group modified the original nine holes by reconstructing all of the greens to fit USGA specifications. The design group also added new bunkers and a challenging par 3 hole along the lake. For those looking to warm up before hitting the new course, a new practice facility that includes large tee boxes, putting and chipping greens has also been added.

The full course is expected to open in early Spring 2010. For those avid golfers who want to play now, the new nine holes are open. The Riverside County Club is semi-private, allowing non-members the chance to play every Tuesday through Thursday. Call the Pro Shop at 334-644-4503 to arrange your next tee time.
