Detailed description of River Pointe Country Club

River Pointe Country Club, prevviously named Supervisors' Country Club and previously private, is a Public, 27 hole golf facility located in Hobart, Indiana. River Pointe Country Club has three 9-hole golf courses. These courses can be combined in pairs to form three different 18 hole course challenges. The nine-hole courses are The Pointe Course, The Pines Course, and The Ponds Course.

River Pointe Country Club first opened for play in 1974.

River Pointe Country Club club added nine new holes in 1998, giving it three nine hole courses that can be played in three eighteen hole combinations. The "new nine" called the Pointe Course, incorporates water on all nine holes as well as many out-of-bounds areas. The design is tight and places an emphasis on shot accuracy. The signature hole on the Pointe Course is #5, a 170-yard, par 3, which requires a tee shot over water to a small green that has another lake behind it and sand bunkers on three sides.

The original Pines/Ponds Course is wide open and best known for its large greens. There are several sand bunkers incorporated into the course design, and water hazards come into play on several holes. The signature hole is #9 on the Ponds Course, a 420-yard, par 4, requiring a tee shot over water from an elevated tee box to a fairway bordered by a large lake, then an approach shot to a well-bunkered green.

Any 18-hole combination at River Pointe Country Club plays to a par-72 and over 6,400 yards.

River Pointe Country Club reopened as a public course on April 16, 2010.

GolfVisions Management Inc. on Monday afternoon April 12, 2010 was granted receivership of the facility, including the golf course, restaurant and pool, through a mortgage foreclosure.

"The facility will be operated by my company through the bank," GolfVisions CEO and President Tim Miles Sr. said. The former owners and board of directors no longer will be involved, Miles said.
