Rio Mar (River)
Rio Mar Country Club is home to two top-quality championship courses. The much admired George & Tom Fazio designed Ocean course opened for play in 1975. It was followed 22 years later by the also acclaimed River course, designed by Greg Norman.
The River course is a well-rated and always popular layout. This tree-lined and open parkland course should not disappoint, with many attractive features and several excellent holes to enjoy. Plenty of golfing challenge, a well-crafted design and usually good upkeep all contribute to the appeal of this course. One to include on your play list if you are in the area.
