Riverton Country Club is one of the six Donald Ross golf courses still operating in New Jersey.

The decision to create a golf club in Riverton was made in 1899 by a group of Quaker businessmen. For 17 years, beginning in 1900, Riverton Country Club had a 9-hole course on a tract of 50 acres that today contains the 8th through 14th holes.

In 1916, the club purchased the land that now contains holes 1 through 7 and 15 through 18 and hired Donald Ross, rated the best golf architect in the game's history, to build an 18-hole course. That course, which is the one in play today, opened the weekend of July 4, 1917.

In doing his work, Ross kept only one original hole (the current 14th ) and retained one additional green, the current 8th The remainder of the course is his design and the club is committed to maintain all the Donald Ross concepts in any future work performed on the course.

Since 1899, the club's land has been in two townships, Riverton and Cinnaminson. The original clubhouse was in Riverton. In 1958, a new clubhouse was built in the current location on the Cinnaminson side. The clubhouse was completely rebuilt and substantially expanded in 2000 at a cost of about $5 million.

With a golf course designed by the game's best architect, a rich and interesting history, a new clubhouse, tennis courts, bowling alleys, pools, elegant dining and a growing membership, Riverton is poised to have its best years in the dawn of a new millennium.
