CURRENT GOLFER SIGNAL
Current architecture reviews praise Riverside for wider strategic options, more natural-looking bunkering, river exposure and a different personality from Highlands rather than simply being “the other course.”
THE NTB TAKE
Riverside is why AAC is more interesting than a one-course major venue.
Highlands is the championship punch in the mouth. Riverside looks like the course you'd want to play over and over—more width, more choices, more river, less “survive and get to the clubhouse.”
Our call: arguably the more interesting member-repeat-play profile, while Highlands owns the championship history.
