Rivard Golf and Country Club occupies gently rolling terrain in Brooksville, Florida, where live oaks and stands of slash pine frame the fairways. The course was designed by Ron Garl and opened in 1992 as the centerpiece of the Southern Hills Plantation community. Its bentgrass greens are kept at tournament speed, while Tifway 419 bermudagrass covers the teeing areas and fairways. Water comes into play on nine holes, most notably on the par-4 seventh, where a large pond forces an angled approach, and on the closing holes, where two carries over wetlands test accuracy. The layout alternates between open, wind-exposed stretches and tighter corridors bordered by native cabbage palms and wax myrtles. Elevation changes reach approximately 60 feet, producing several uphill and downhill shots uncommon on the surrounding flatland. Cart paths follow the natural contours, and drainage swales channel Florida’s frequent rainfall away from play. The practice facility includes a double-ended driving range, short-game area with sand bunkers, and putting green adjacent to the clubhouse.
