Riverchase Country Club Undergoes Multi-Million Dollar Renovations and Introduces Game-Changing Prizm Zoysia Greens

Heritage Golf Group acquired Riverchase Country Club in spring of 2023. Since launching in 2020, Heritage has acquired a total of 32 private country clubs, high-end daily-fee and resort courses in the eastern, central, and Rocky Mountain regions of the United States.

Heritage Golf Group purchased Riverchase Country Club this past March and immediately set plans in place to invest in the future of the Club. Riverchase Country Club has been a local favorite place for Members and the Riverchase Community to enjoy year-round and our goal as new owners is to enhance all the Clubs amenities.

The first project, which started in May, is the par 72, 18-hole championship golf course. An extensive capital improvement program was set in motion, including a golf course greens renovation project, irrigation system upgrade, and new course and practice range amenities. Since 1976, the course has hosted several high-profile events, including the SEC Women’s Golf Championship, the Alabama State Four-Ball Championship, and the Alabama State Amateur Championship and with this investment we will be ready host major tournaments again.

Riverchase Director of Agronomy, Todd Daniel, is tremendously excited about the course and irrigation renovations currently underway.

While citing the incredible benefits of a state-ofthe-art irrigation pump, cart path improvements and completion of bunker and tee renovations, Daniel is most excited about the installation of Prizm Zoysia greens.

Daniel explains that “Prizm Zoysia has incredible heat, shade and drought tolerance and affords reduced water and fertilizer consumption. This is a true 12-month grass in our growing zone and is quite simply a game changer.”

“Additionally, for the golfer, the grass grows more upright than Bermuda or bent grass which allows a truer roll, less verticutting and a more precise mower cut. This will allow us to deliver a more consistent playing surface year-round, which I am very sure our members will enjoy.”

The next phase of the mulit-million capital project will be focused on Clubhouse renovations and racquet facilities.

Club Manager, John Cargill, echoes Daniel’s excitement noting that “Heritage Golf Group has a well-documented history of success. We are thrilled to be involved with the Riverchase Reinvention!” It is a great time to be a Member of Riverchase.
