RIVERS EDGE MAKES GOLF DIGEST’S LIST OF “AMERICA’S
100 GREATEST PUBLIC GOLF COURSES”
Magazine Also Rates Rivers Edge One Of The Best In
N. C.
April X, 2005, Shallotte, N.C. — Rivers Edge
debuted at number 83 on Golf Digest’s prestigious
list of “America’s 100 Greatest Public Golf
Courses,” published in the May issue of the magazine.
The course, which is managed by Signature Golf Group,
was also ranked in the top 25 courses in North Carolina.
Rivers Edge was among 19 new courses to make the prestigious
biennial list of the Top 100 public access courses,
which was first published in 2003. Set high on bluffs
overlooking the Shallotte River, the course is best
known for its spectacular views, challenging design
and great conditioning.
The May edition of Golf Digest also lists its raters’
choices for “Best In State,” placing Rivers
Edge at number 19 in North Carolina — a state
known for its great golf courses. This ranking positions
Rivers Edge above such well-known layouts as Pine
Needles and Pinehurst Resort Number 7. Rivers Edge
was also on the “Best In State” list in
2003.
“We are very excited to be on the list of America’s
Top 100,” said Charles Smith, Managing Partner.
“Arnold Palmer and Ed Seay did a masterful job
of designing Rivers Edge and it’s very gratifying
to see our course on the same list with courses like
Pebble Beach and The Ocean Course At Kiawah.”
“America’s Greatest Public Courses“
and the state-by-state rankings can be found online
at www.golfdigest.com, as well as in the May edition
of the magazine.
