Rivermont - Georgia - USA

Owned and operated by the Cupit family since 1973, Rivermont Golf Club lies less than an hour’s drive north of downtown Atlanta in Fulton County, close to the meandering waters of the Chattahoochee River.

Joe Lee set out the original course but this layout was completely redesigned by Mike Riley (with input from owner Chris Culpit) in 2006, transforming an already well-regarded track locally into one of the best in state.

The club converted its greens to ultra-dwarf Bermuda in 2014 and a number of new bunkers and tees have been added more recently. An ongoing tree removal programme is also in place to improve general playing conditions.

Rivermont has hosted dozens of USGA qualifiers for a variety of events, such as the US Open, US Senior Open, the US Mid-Amateur, the US Women’s Mid-Amateur and the Men's Four-Ball Championship.

Highlight holes on the course include the par three 4th with its new Redan-style green, the par four 9th featuring a Punchbowl green, the short par four 11th and the drop shot par three 17th, where long off the tee is lethal.
