NorthRiver Yacht Club is a private golf club in Tuscaloosa, Alabama which officially opened in 1978. The course was originally designed by professional golfer Gary Player but was redesigned in 1997 by noted architect Bob Cupp. The course features bent grass and is set up to both challenge expert players while being forgiving to beginners still new to the game. In September 2012 Honours Golf acquired management rights of NorthRiver Yacht Club from The Westervelt Company. The signature hole at NorthRiver is the 17th, which is a par 3 hole featuring a green on a peninsula, surrounded on three sides by water.〔(NorthRiver Yacht Club )〕 Besides golf, NorthRiver offers several amenities. NorthRiver's tennis maintains 8 lighted Rubico and 3 lighted hard courts for both individual matches and tournament play. The main courts at the Tennis Pavilion offer easy access to casual dining at the Golf Club, while the Yacht Club courts provide a dramatic, expansive view of Lake Tuscaloosa. NorthRiver's tennis professionals offer a comprehensive tennis program, organized clinics as well as individual or group lessons. The tennis program is highly praised by players of all levels and ages. Aquatics consist of two separate pools. The Olympic-sized Yacht Club pool is available May to September, and the heated indoor-outdoor Golf Club pool is open year-round. A grassy beach and scenic lake view can be found at the Captain's Cabin, while the Marina can accommodate a boat or arrange for lake excursions with a club-owned pontoon boat. For a healthy body, a fully equipped workout facility awaits. Qualified fitness instructors lead a variety of exercise classes and provide personal training and attention.
