Rivermead Golf Club was established in 1910 and opened in 1911 as a nine-hole course, under the direction of architect Charles Murray. The course was expanded to 18 holes in 1915 following the purchase of additional land in 1912. George Cumming directed the expansion.[citation needed]
Throughout its first 100 years, Rivermead Golf Club has hosted many national, provincial and local championship events, including:
1963 Canadian Junior Girls Championship, won by Cathy Galusha
2005 CN Canadian Women's Tour, won by Linda Shephard
2010 CN Canadian Women's Tour, won by Candace Schepperle
In 1948, Rivermead, along with the Ottawa Hunt and Royal Ottawa golf clubs, formed the Ottawa District Golf Association, which became the Ottawa Valley Golf Association in 1981. The three clubs (in rotation) have hosted the Alexander of Tunis tournament every three years since its inception in 1950.[citation needed]
In 1989, golf course architect Ken Skodacek (working with Ken Venturi) modernized and re-designed the course resulting in the present course layout. The golf course is par 72 for men and par 75 for women. The course yardage varies from 5,359 to 6,559 yards. In 2008, the Club spent $2.4 million to refurbish the clubhouse facility and to create a new outdoor patio overlooking the 18th green.[citation needed] In 2010, as part of its centennial celebrations, the club dedicated a bridge near the 18th green to commemorate the milestone and to honour past and current members.[citation needed]
