Club de golf Rivermead Golf Club

Golf Course

The club features an 18-hole championship course that is walkable with gently rolling terrain. The course has a par of 72 for men and 75 for women, with yardage ranging from 6,715 yards (back tees) to 4,730 yards (forward tees). The original 9 holes were designed by Charles Murray in 1910/1911, and the course was expanded to 18 holes by George Cumming in 1915. A major redesign was completed in 1989 by Ken Skodacek with Ken Venturi, and a five-year improvement program led by architect Jeff Mingay was completed in 2023 to restore the Golden Age-era routing and enhance the course features.
