Riverfront Golf Course
Riverfront Golf Club – Tom Doak Waterfront Golf Along the Nansemond River
Course Overview
Riverfront Golf Club gives golfers one of the more distinctive public rounds in southeastern Virginia. Tom Doak used the natural ground near the Nansemond River to create a layout with broad fairways, low-profile teeing areas, sweeping marsh views, and greens that demand precise shot-making.
The course has a more understated look than many heavily manufactured modern layouts, but that is part of its appeal. Ground movement, wind exposure, and subtle positioning challenges keep the round engaging without overwhelming the eye.
Key course highlights include:
- Tom Doak design that leans into the riverside terrain
- Par-71 routing with a strong mix of width, angles, and recovery options
- Scenic marsh and waterfront views throughout the property
- A reputation as one of the more memorable public rounds in the region
Riverfront is especially attractive for golfers who appreciate architecture, scenery, and a course that reveals itself the more you play it.
