The River at The River Golf Club

The River Golf Club in North Augusta, South Carolina, opened in 2001 as a Jim Fazio design situated along the Savannah River. The course occupies rolling terrain on the South Carolina side of the river, directly across from Augusta, Georgia, and benefits from the natural elevation changes and water features that define this section of the Savannah River valley. Fazio routed the layout to incorporate both riverside holes and interior stretches through pine and hardwood corridors typical of the Georgia-South Carolina border region.

The design features several holes that play along or near the Savannah River, offering views across the water and strategic challenges shaped by the natural topography. The routing moves through varied terrain, with elevation changes that provide visual interest and require thoughtful club selection. Fazio incorporated multiple water hazards beyond the river itself, along with bunkering that frames landing areas and green complexes in his characteristic style from this period.

The River Golf Club operates as a private facility and serves the North Augusta and greater Augusta metropolitan area. Its location in the shadow of Augusta National Golf Club places it within a region with deep golf tradition, though The River maintains its own identity as a modern championship-length course designed for member play. The course has hosted regional amateur events and serves as the home club for members seeking a Fazio design within the Central Savannah River Area.
