In the beginning,
Riverside Country Club was known as Club Radar, and was located at 510 South
Springville Road. The Club in the early years was a social organization
featuring excellent food and beverage service with pleasant surroundings. The
Club Radar dates back to 1945.
In 1955, charter members of Club Radar, voted to pursue expansion of current
facilities or relocation of the Club to a site where a golf course could be
built. Committees were formed, plans were made, and after a lengthy search the
current property was acquired for an average cost of $900.00 per acre.
William F. Bell, golf course architect, was enlisted by the Club to design the
golf course. William Bell had designed several golf courses around the west.
At the Annual meeting in 1959, the name Riverside Country Club, was officially
adopted and in 1960, Riverside Country Club was an official entity with 34
Equity Members and 16 Social Members. The Grand opening of the Clubhouse was May
11, 1960 and the swimming pool opened on July 15th of that same year.
In 1962, the long anticipated golf course had grown in sufficiently and was
ready to open. June of '62 started a great tradition in Utah, golf as play began
at Riverside Country Club. |
