SITE LOCATION The location of the development is in Georgia, along the Savannah River. The largest city in close proximity is Augusta, which is about 20 miles to the Southeast. With its relatively close distance to Augusta and its suburbs allows this site to bring some of the growth of the region towards the North.

CONCEPTS Follow the traditional golf course community in some senses, but try, for the most part to incorporate a different style of design. The neighborhood should feel private, and secluded. Large lots and existing tree canopy cover for shade and privacy. Allow easy access to on site amenities through adjacent parking and side walks. By placing the golf course along the river and separating a good deal of holes from the neighborhood gives the feeling of a connection with nature. Buildings and the workplace seem miles away. Views of the Savannah River greatly enhance the play of the course by not only adding a challenging water hazard, but also by providing a beautiful scenic field of play.

It’s only fitting that Hole 1 be one of the more challenging on the course. It sets the pace with water on the right and bunkers on
either side of the fairway.
It comes in at almost 400 yards.
Number 4’s beauty speaks for the whole course. A very long and difficult
dog-leg right along the savannah river provides a distractiion from the course and can cost you a stroke or two if not played carefully.

The straight away drive into a wide open fairway is a refreshing start to the backnine.
A careless tee
shot can earn you a long
second shot from the bunker.
Enjoy the under 400 yard par 4, as it is the last.
The 12th Hole at Riverclub is much like the 4th. It too employs a dog-leg right with the river on your left.
This is not necessarily a bad thing, however, as you are able to once again master the challenge alongside the water.

The second longest Par 5 on the course, Hole 13 brings the player’s fairway metals and long irons into
play once again.
Accurate shots are a must if bunkers are not your friend. The 15th Hole at Riverclub brings the natural wet-lands along the Southeastern border into play. An errant shot can get the ball wet on either side of the fairway.
