The location of the development is in Georgia, along the Savannah River. The largest city in close proximity is Augusta, which is about 20 miles to the Southeast. With its relatively close distance to Augusta and its suburbs allows this site to bring some of the growth of the region towards the North.

PROGRAM
The site includes many amenites for residents and guests, such as wedding receptions or lockerrooms. The Riverclub has the ability to cater to ceremonies and events, along with mainting comfort for the existing residents.
Listed Elements
-141, Half-acre Lots-Privacy alongside easy access to site amenities-Priveate,18 Hole, Par 72 Golf Course-Driving Range and Putting Green-20,000 sq. ft. Clubhouse-Adjacent Recreation Clubhouse-Lockerrooms and Guest Change rooms-12 Tennis Courts-Olympic size swimming pool and Family pool
CONCEPTSFollow the traditional golf course commu-nity in some senses, but try, for the most part to incorporate a different style of design.
The neighborhood should feel private, and secluded. Large lots and existing tree canopy cover for shade and privacy.
Allow easy access to on site amenities through adjacent parking and side walks.
By placing the golf course along the river and separating a good deal of holes from the neighborhood gives the feeling of a connection with nature. Buildings and the workplace seem miles away.
Views of the Savannah River greatly en-hance the play of the course by not only adding a challenging water hazard, but also by providing a beautiful scenic field of play.

it’s only fitting tHat Hole 1 be one of tHe more cHal-lenging on tHe course. it sets tHe pace WitH Water on tHe rigHt and bunkers on eitHer side of tHe fairWay. it comes in at almost 400 yards.
number 4’s beauty speaks for tHe WHole course. a very long and difficult dog-leg rigHt along tHe savannaH river provides a distractiion from tHe course and can cost you a stroke or tWo if not played carefully.

tHe straigHt aWay drive into a Wide open fairWay is a refresHing start to tHe backnine. a careless tee sHot can earn you a long second sHot from tHe bun-ker. enjoy tHe under 400 yard par 4, as it is tHe last.
tHe 12tH Hole at riverclub is mucH like tHe 4tH. it too employs a dog-leg rigHt WitH tHe river on your left. tHis is not necessar-ily a bad tHing, HoWever, as you are able to once again master tHe cHallenge alongside tHe Water.

tHe second longest par 5 on tHe course, Hole 13 brings tHe player’s fairWay metals and long irons into
play once again. accurate sHots are a must if bunkers are not your friend.
tHe 15tH Hole at riverclub brings tHe natural Wet-lands along tHe soutHeastern border into play. an errant sHot can get tHe ball Wet on eitHer side of tHe fairWay.

DISCLAImEr
The design services for the Riverclub Golf Course Community De-velopment by Corey Buck represents student course work within the school of environment and design at the university of georgia during the spring semester of 2010. the intent of this project is to allow the stu-dents to demonstrate an understanding of comprehensive landscape design. it can provide the client with the development, and for the publicity purposes to gain support for the professional design and im-plementation of the proposed project. it must be clearly understood that the student work is carried out to meet specific academic objec-tives and it should not be regarded as a substitute for the work of a licensed practicing landscape architect. it is not a project that can necessarily be implemented without correction and/or refinement. The school and faculty assume no responsibility for the accuracy, feasibility, and completeness of relative merit of the project. in all cases full credit to the student and the school of environment and design must be given whenever the work is displayed. where the report or drawings fail to meet minimum standards, the school reserves the right to prohibit reproduction for recirculation.
