Riverside Golf Course in Cambridge Springs has been purchased by four local gentlemen — Darin T. Foltz, James R. Loehrke, Zachary D. Hale and Jeremy J. Ball.
A renovation to the 34-year-old facility is being planned. Also, 40 new golf carts will be added to the courses current fleet.
Leagues and tournaments are being planned for and anyone interested should contact the course.
The remodel will include a complete dining/lounge rehab with the new restaurant, The Rambler, which will serve contemporary, American Cuisine.
The former banquet facility is being transformed into The Kelly Ballroom, which pays homage to the Hotel Kelly that once stood on the land prior to 1915.
Also planned is a reconfiguration of the pro-shop with many highly anticipated changes. The exterior façade will be painted, new roof is being planned and exterior signage is in the works.
