RIVERSIDE COUNTRY CLUB
🇺🇸 Menominee, MI, USA
Designed by A. H. Jolly, Roger B. Packard, Tom Bendelow

Riverside Country Club sits along the Menominee River in Michigan's Upper Peninsula, near the Wisconsin border. The course traces its origins to the early twentieth century, with initial design work attributed to Tom Bendelow, the prolific Scottish-born architect who laid out hundreds of courses across the American Midwest during golf's first expansion era. A. H. Jolly, a regional architect active in the upper Great Lakes, also contributed to the course's development. Roger B. Packard, a prominent modern architect known for his restoration and renovation work, later updated the layout.
The routing takes advantage of the riverside terrain, with holes playing through a mix of wooded corridors and more open ground. The Menominee River provides both scenic backdrop and strategic element on certain holes. The topography typical of this region—rolling rather than dramatic, with mature hardwoods framing fairways—shapes the playing experience. The course reflects the evolution common to many small-city clubs in the upper Midwest: a Bendelow foundation adapted over decades to accommodate modern equipment and maintenance practices while preserving the essential character of early American course design.
Riverside serves a local membership in a community where the country club remains a social and recreational center. The setting offers a quiet, traditional golf experience characteristic of northern Michigan and Wisconsin border towns, where courses operate within a shorter season but benefit from the natural beauty of the Great Lakes region.
