River Birch Golf Club
About River Birch Golf Club
River Birch Golf Club was established in 1994 by the Glenn family, who developed the course as a golf facility for Amory and the surrounding area. The championship layout was designed to challenge players across a range of skill levels.
Like many courses, River Birch has passed through several stages over the decades. Andrew and Kathy Willingham purchased the club in 2019 and have since worked to restore the course, with ongoing improvements to both the layout and the wider facility from year to year.
