Detailed description
Riverfront Golf Club is a Semi-Private, 18 hole golf course located in Suffolk, Virginia, on the banks of the Nansemond River, near the mouth of the James River.

Riverfront Golf Club first opened for play in 1999. The course was designed by Tom Doak.

Riverfront is an old-style course that winds its way through riverfront acreage, tidal marshes, huge oaks and pines and vast rolling farmland. It offers a truly amazing setting for a great round of golf.

Designer Tom Doak sculpted the beautiful layout to take full advantage of the natural beauty surrounding it. It is a waterfront golf design. Tees are typically at ground level, the fairways are generally wide and friendly and chipping areas are plentiful. Large deep bunkers, combined with undulating greens make shot-making crucial. All but three of the 18 holes are bordered on one side by natural features, whether tidal marshes skirting along its fairways or undulating greens at water's edge - with beach bunkers on three sides. Mature pines, oaks and sycamores overhang the marsh, adding beauty and majesty to the design.

Riverfront Golf Club measures 6,357 yards from the back tees for a par of 71. The course rating is 70.3 with a slope rating of 129.
