RIVER HILLS COUNTRY CLUB

The Gulf Coast humidity wraps around you like a wet towel, but the shot values here demand precision despite the oppressive air that makes every club selection a guessing game. Wind patterns shift constantly off the nearby bay, turning what appears to be a straightforward approach into a chess match between golfer and elements. The Bermuda fairways roll true through mesquite-dotted terrain, rewarding members who've learned to flight the ball low when the coastal gusts kick up.
