About this course

Rivermont, carved into the rolling landscape of Alpharetta, embodies a distinct Atlanta-area golfing experience, demanding strategic play across its undulating fairways and subtly contoured greens. Designed by Arthur Hills during the boom of golf course construction in the late 1980s, Rivermont presents a challenging yet fair test for players of all skill levels. The course favors those who can shape their shots, with strategically placed bunkers and water hazards dictating precise approach play. While Rivermont hasn't hosted any major professional championships, it remains a popular venue for local and regional tournaments, prized for its playability and well-maintained conditions. Its relatively understated profile among the region’s more storied clubs reflects the club’s focus on providing a strong everyday golf experience for its members. Rivermont’s appeal lies not just in its challenging layout, but also in its welcoming atmosphere. Known for its active men's and women's golf associations, the club fosters a strong sense of community, with members frequently gathering for friendly competitions and social events. The nineteenth hole, a fixture of local Alpharetta lore, is known for its post-round storytelling and lively banter, and its noted halfway house's pimento cheese sandwiches.

Getting there

Rivermont Golf Club sits in the affluent suburbs north of Atlanta, most readily accessed via Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport (ATL), roughly forty minutes south by car through the rolling piedmont landscape. Private aviation clients will find Peachtree DeKalb Airport (PDK) a convenient alternative, positioned even closer to the club's Johns Creek address. The drive north from either hub carries you through the manicured neighborhoods and tree-lined corridors of Atlanta's northern perimeter, where the urban sprawl gradually yields to the more spacious estates and wooded enclaves that define this corner of North Fulton County - a quiet, understated arrival befitting one of Georgia's most selective private clubs.
