RIVER GREENS GOLF CLUB
🇺🇸 West Lafayette, OH, USA
Designed by Jack Kidwell
River Greens Golf Club sits in the rolling farmland of eastern Ohio's Tuscarawas County, near the small community of West Lafayette. The facility offers thirty-six holes designed by Jack Kidwell, a regional architect active primarily in Ohio and neighboring states during the latter decades of the twentieth century. The Pines and River nines can be combined with a third nine to create different eighteen-hole configurations, with the Pines/River pairing representing one of the standard rotations.
The course takes advantage of the natural terrain common to this part of Ohio, where gentle elevation changes and mature tree cover shape the playing corridors. The Pines nine likely features wooded, parkland-style holes with tree-lined fairways, while the River nine presumably incorporates water features or plays near a creek or tributary, adding variety to the round. Kidwell's design work typically emphasized playability for a range of skill levels while incorporating the existing landscape features.
River Greens serves as a public-access facility in a region where golf options tend toward straightforward, community-oriented layouts. The course provides a local venue for everyday play rather than tournament competition, and its multi-nine format allows for flexibility in pace and routing. The setting reflects the agricultural character of eastern Ohio, with open views across farmland between the wooded sections of the property.
