Northriver Yacht Club: NorthRiver Yacht

Tuscaloosa, AL • Private

This 1978 Gary Player design was redesigned twice by Bob Cupp, first in the late 90s and again in 2015. The fairways are wide and forgiving: Slopes tend to filter the ball toward the middle on many holes. The layout utilizes the natural terrain, meandering through a heavily wooded, rolling forest. There are plenty of elevation changes, including at the signature par-3 17th, which plays downhill over water to a green guarded by bunkers.
