Riverside Golf Club

Fenton sits along the Meramec River in the southwestern suburbs of St. Louis, where the Ozark foothills begin to assert themselves and the terrain gets rolling in a way that flat-state golf rarely does. It's a working-class corner of the metro — practical, unfussy — and Riverside Golf Club fits that identity. The course is a product of its surroundings in the most literal sense: the Meramec shapes the land here, and a layout along its banks carries the character of a river corridor — varied elevation, mature trees, and the kind of ground that doesn't give you many flat lies.
