Origins

Canadian golf professional Albert Murray designed the course, which opened in 1958 as Massena Country Club. Its routing uses both wooded inland ground and the edge of the St. Lawrence River.

Did You Know?
The course operated for decades as Massena Country Club before municipal operation began in 2021.

Design Philosophy

The official club description distinguishes the two nines: the longer front nine moves through wooded areas and includes an unusual mix of three par 3s, three par 4s and three par 5s, while the back nine is oriented toward the river. The St. Lawrence becomes a direct strategic feature on holes 17 and 18.

Development

The major institutional change came in April 2021, when the Town of Louisville assumed operation of the former Massena Country Club. The municipal facility was renamed The River Course at Louisville Landing Recreation.

Today

The course and its restaurant are open to the public. Louisville Landing offers daily-fee play, season passes, lessons, fitting and repair services, golf outings and community fundraising events.
