Riverfront Golf Club

About Riverfront Golf Club

This Suffolk gem sits along the Nansemond River, offering a surprisingly scenic public golf experience that punches well above its weight class. The riverside setting provides natural drama throughout the round, with several holes playing directly along the water where wayward shots meet a watery grave. What sets this course apart is how it maximizes its relatively compact footprint – the routing feels thoughtful and varied despite not having enormous acreage to work with. The 4.5-star rating from nearly 400 reviewers tells the real story here: consistent conditioning, fair pricing, and a layout that rewards good shots without beating up higher handicappers. The fact that walking is permitted adds to the old-school charm, making this a solid choice for golfers who prefer to carry their bags and enjoy the riverside views at their own pace. For Suffolk-area golf, this represents excellent value in a market where true waterfront holes are harder to find at public facilities.
