Riverfront. A 18-hole course by Fry/Straka Global Golf Course Design (Dana Fry, Jason Straka) with Paul Azinger. A 1100-acre site. Founded by entrepreneur Steve Herrig, the eighteen-hole championship course is the work of Fry/Straka Global Golf Course Design, Dana Fry and Jason Straka, with PGA Championship winner Paul Azinger.
