Riverside Country Club

Riverside Country Club sits in Lanett, Alabama, a small city on the Georgia border along the Chattahoochee River. The club serves the local community in this part of the Chattahoochee Valley, where the river forms West Point Lake just upstream. The course occupies rolling terrain characteristic of the Piedmont region, where elevation changes and mature hardwoods shape the playing corridors. The layout reflects mid-twentieth-century design principles common to community clubs in the Southeast, with tree-lined fairways and greens that incorporate the natural contours of the land. The proximity to West Point Lake influences the setting, though the course itself plays through wooded and open terrain rather than directly along the water. Bermuda grass predominates on fairways and greens, typical for courses in this climate zone. Riverside functions as a traditional member club, providing golf and social amenities for families in the Lanett area and the broader Valley region that includes neighboring communities in both Alabama and Georgia. The club maintains a relaxed atmosphere suited to its role as a local gathering place. The course offers a straightforward test for recreational players, with length and hazard placement that reward accuracy without requiring extreme distance.
