About this course

Riverside at Atlanta Athletic Club stands as a testament to championship golf, forever linked to Bobby Jones's legacy. Carved into the rolling terrain north of Atlanta, the course presents a stern parkland challenge, demanding strategic shot-making and rewarding thoughtful course management. Length is certainly a weapon, but navigating the subtly contoured greens and penal bunkering is the true test of skill. It favors those who can work the ball in both directions off the tee, particularly around its strategic dog legs. The original routing bears the mark of Joe Finger, with later enhancements by Arthur Hills. It is most notably marked as the home of the 2014 U.S. Amateur Championship, forever enshrining its place in amateur golf history. While not typically mentioned amongst the most revered courses nationally, Riverside boasts a strong regional reputation and a deeply loyal membership. It's known for a fiercely competitive atmosphere amongst its members, with stories abound of tightly contested matches and legendary putting performances that live on in clubhouse lore. The club's enduring commitment to the game and its historical connections make it a respected fixture in the Atlanta golf scene.
