RiverEdge Golf Club is an 18-hole public course located along the Grand River in Kitchener. The design makes full use of its setting, with scenic river views, natural elevation changes, and water that comes into play on several key holes.
The front nine is more open, encouraging aggressive driving, while the back nine narrows through tree-lined corridors that demand shot placement. The greens are large and gently contoured, rewarding smart approach play.
Practice facilities include a full driving range, chipping green, and putting area. The clubhouse offers casual dining, a patio overlooking the river, and event space for tournaments or gatherings.
