River Forest Course
River Forest Golf Club, located just outside of Macon, Georgia in Forsyth is one of many gems in the Invited Golf Club portfolio. Members often travel 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.
Crush It! Juniors Program
Based on principles of the American Development Model (ADM), River Forest’s Crush It! Juniors Program is a game-changing golf development program designed to help your junior golfers develop a deep love for the game and the abilities needed to perform on the course.
Whether new or familiar with the game and for fun or friendly competition, the program provides kids with the tools to engage proactively in life and learn valuable lessons they can use in all areas of their lives, while at the same time enabling them to engage in developmentally appropriate experiences and learning opportunities that connect child and family at every step through a progression pathway.
At the core of River Forest’s Crush It! Program is the development of a “golfer for life” through the motto, “Skills for golf, skills for life” by through:
Confidence

Game On! Program
Whether you’re picking up a club for the first time or if you’re coming back to the sport after some time off, River Forest’s Game On! Program provides the ideal way for golfers to experience learning the game in an environment and structure that will enable them to build the skills, knowledge and social connections to actively play the game and maximize your River Forest membership.
Where Game On! differs from other traditional programs is that it does not measure success based on completing a set number of classes. Instead, success is defined when you have achieved the criteria set out within a 3-Level Progression Pathway that ensures you have harnessed the knowledge, experiences and appropriate level of skill to play the golf course. The length of time spent on the program varies between golfer but it’s why golf is a journey, not a marathon.
No matter where your golf journey is taking you, River Forest is excited to welcome you to the sport! From socializing in a friendly and fun environment to focusing on health and wellness, golf has something for everyone and for every family through:
Making New Social Connections
Spending more time with loved ones
Learning a new skill
Healthier lifestyle
An activity great for the entire family
