Rivermoor Golf Club
Try and stay dry on one of the area’s best courses with today’s feature: $20 for 18 Holes with Cart at Rivermoor Golf Club in Waterford near Milwaukee ($45 Value. Expires October 1, 2016!)
Home to many of the Dairy State’s most high-profile tournaments including the Wisconsin State PGA Senior Championship, the US Open Mid-Amateur Qualifier, and the Wisconsin State Match Play Championship, today’s feature course, Rivermoor Golf Club in Waterford, is a classic Midwestern course with all of the trimmings. First opened in 1929, this 18-hole championship layout has retained its timeless elegance and is now presented in the best condition of its almost century long history.
Playing almost 6,300 yards from the back set of tees, Rivermoor’s supremely enjoyable layout is the perfect mix of playability, challenge, and old-fashioned fun designed to test the skills of every golfer who takes it on. The gem of Racine County, Rivermoor is inundated with what makes the Midwest one of the best golf regions in the country: beautiful picturesque views, exceptionally sculpted natural hazards, and 18 holes each with their own unique set of challenges. And, as an Audubon Sanctuary Certified course, the presence of indigenous wildlife only adds to the incredible atmosphere.
If you’re looking to walk away from Rivermoor with a low score on your card, course management and proper shot execution around the 70.3/125-rated course is key. Though the layout as a whole can be fairly forgiving, water is one of the most frequent foes here, coming into play on nearly half of all holes – so try and steer clear!
While most golf courses only boast one or two amenities to help round out your day of fun, Rivermoor’s fine facility features them all. Before hitting the course for your tee time, the practice area is a must-visit to warm up your swing on the driving range, practice your sand saves in the practice bunker, or adjust to the speed of the greens on one of two practice putting surfaces. The course’s knowledgeable staff mans the extensive pro shop, which features one of the area’s best selections of equipment and apparel from golf’s best brands. To complete your day, the course’s 19th hole, the Rivermoor Bar and Grill, is a perfect stop with a full bar selection and extensive menu to help you toast your scores.
