About this course

Riverfront, nestled along the Nansemond River in Suffolk, Virginia, is celebrated as one of the tidewater region's most player-friendly layouts. Architect Curtis Strange sculpted this modern course from the rolling, pine-studded landscape to offer expansive fairways and receptive greens. Errant shots are often forgiven, encouraging an aggressive style of play and making it a favorite among golfers of all skill levels. While Riverfront hasn't hosted major championships, its consistent conditions and approachable design have made it a popular venue for regional amateur events and qualifiers. It is also the home for many club tournaments, including the annual Riverfront Cup. The club's membership is known for its convivial atmosphere, often gathering at the nineteenth hole to share stories and good-natured ribbing. A local favorite is the club's signature crab cake sandwich, a testament to the region's culinary heritage and a perfect complement to a day on the links.

Getting there

The journey to Riverfront Golf Club begins at Norfolk International Airport (ORF), situated roughly thirty minutes to the southeast, or alternatively through Richmond International (RIC), a ninety-minute drive inland that offers broader connectivity for those arriving from distant hubs. The final approach winds through the quiet, maritime character of southeastern Virginia, where the landscape transitions from suburban corridors into the gentler terrain of the Nansemond River valley. As you draw near Suffolk, the roads narrow and soften, revealing glimpses of the water that defines this region - a fitting prelude to Riverfront Golf Club, where the river itself becomes the defining feature of the course and the entire arrival experience.
