Riverwood Country
Club ready to
assume larger role

The word is out about the Port Charlotte course's uniqueness among a crowded Florida golf landscape. According to senior writer Jason Scott, golfers should no longer pass up Riverwood when driving to golfing havens like the Naples-Fort Myers area. Home to a challenging Gene Bates design and one of the best practice centers around, Riverwood is well worth a visit.

Kelly Plantation Golf Club

Kelly Plantation is a 1998 Gene Bates/Fred Couples design. Like the mission statement, the course design is also reflective of current trends and features large greens with evident contour, soft mounding along fairways and behind greens, and high-definition hazards.
