Riverside Golf Club in Menominee, Michigan, reflects the layered design history typical of courses that evolved through the early twentieth century. The course was originally laid out by Tom Bendelow, the prolific Scottish-born architect who designed hundreds of American courses in the late 1800s and early 1900s, often working quickly and adapting to existing terrain. The design was later refined and expanded by A. H. Jolly and Roger Packard, whose contributions shaped the routing and strategic character that golfers experience today. This succession of architects is common among established regional clubs, where initial routing gave way to refinement and modernization. The course occupies land in Michigan's Upper Peninsula near the Menominee River, in a region characterized by mixed forest and glacial topography. The setting provides the natural elevation changes and tree-lined corridors typical of Midwestern courses from this era. Riverside serves the local golfing community and has hosted regional competitions over its history, though it remains primarily a private club focused on membership play and local events rather than major championship venues. The design reflects the principles of early American course architecture—routing that works with natural contours, strategic bunkering, and greens that reward accuracy. As a course shaped by multiple hands across decades, Riverside represents the evolutionary approach to design common among clubs that have maintained and improved their layouts rather than undertaking wholesale modern reconstruction.
