River Forest Country Club
River Forest Country Club, located just outside of Macon, Georgia in Forsyth is one of many gems in the Canongate Golf Club portfolio. Members often travel the 50 miles south of Atlanta just to play this stunning course that was designed by course superintendent, Gary Wilder. The course cleverly incorporates Georgia’s natural granite formations as hazards, along with carefully thought out water features and other bunkers.

River Forest was designed to be a private club, and its amenities only serve to affirm this fact. Since its opening in 2004, River Forest has been a member favorite due to its picturesque views and playable, yet challenging course layout.
River Forest is currently closed on Mondays. Walking is permitted after 3:00 PM daily.
Member Rating: 4.8

Jenny Ross, 4/6/2012 4:08:54 PM EST Unbelievable course! I cannot say enough positive things about this course. Easily the best course among the Canongate courses and I have played all but a couple. The layout is great with some really challenging holes and then some easier ones to provide a shot of confidence. Greens had just been aerated and we could not even tell. The staff was extremely polite and helpful in the pro shop, grill, and range. We will definitely be making several return trips this summer and for those of you who have not had the chance to play this court, find the time because it is just awesome. Great going River Forest, keep up the good work!
Charlie Ouzts, 11/19/2011 7:11:45 PM EST Great course and staff, great practice facility. Love this being my home course.
Caleb Lewis, 10/11/2011 2:30:15 PM EST First Canongate I played and is my favorite. The course is the best looking one so far and is always in great shape. Customer service is excellent. Proud to call this my home course.
William M Coffee, 10/3/2011 3:33:00 PM EST It was worth the 1:45 minute drive. The greens held great and putted even better. I will definitely play again, and recommend that everyone make the trip.

JDP, 6/8/2011 3:39:17 PM EST Best of the Canongate courses!
Joe, 6/5/2011 9:31:48 PM EST Excellent all around. Except---hole 12 green was allowed to be built without 1 real pin position. The white pin (left center) is not remotely reasonable. Silly and unprofessional. Superintendant and club pro please re-think this pin location.

Mitch Haulik, 5/24/2011 5:06:07 PM EST I've been a member since day one and to play River Forest at the price we pay is a fantastic value. There's none better in Georgia!
Barbara Stuart, 5/24/2011 4:48:14 PM EST Absolutely love this golf course and entire facility. The staff is always friendly and we enjoy the challenging course!

Mike, 5/8/2011 5:05:52 PM EST We played on 5/6/2011, and I would have to agree with Mr. Hardin. We also had lunch and it was excellent. The staff were also very accomadating.
Jerry Hardin, 5/3/2011 3:48:31 PM EST We played River Forest on 4/29/2011, and it was in great shape. They had a storm a day before and it had drained really well. Since we played early, some of the traps were not fully raked, but they were working on them as we played. The course has some very interesting and challenging holes, and lots of big rocks, cliffs and lakes give it added character. Very picturesque! We also had a great catfish lunch at the clubhouse following our round.

Chad Rothschild, 4/14/2011 12:15:21 PM EST This is my favorite Canongate course. I love everything about it except it is not my home course (and long drive for me). :( The layout is fantastic. It is very scenic with all the granite rocks. The greens were good when I played it. It is a hidden jewel. Highly recommend it. It is well worth the drive.
