Heritage Golf Group acquires two Alabama clubs

Heritage Golf Group continues to expand its portfolio. Since launching in 2020, Heritage has acquired a total of 30 private country clubs, high-end daily-fee and resort courses in the eastern, central, and Rocky Mountain regions of the United States. Heritage has now entered the Birmingham, Alabama, market with the acquisitions of Inverness Country Club and Riverchase Country Club.

“We are extremely excited to be in the Birmingham market as it continues to be a growing metropolitan area with vibrant suburbs and a downtown renaissance underway,” Heritage Golf Group president and CEO Mark Burnett said. “Inverness Country Club and Riverchase Country Club are both full-service private clubs in large residential communities that will complement our growing network of clubs. We look forward to working with the members and staff to enhance the member and guest experiences.”

Inverness Country Club’s par 71, 18-hole championship golf course was designed by George Cobb and features a practice facility, championship miniverde greens and a set of junior tees. Inverness recently hosted the annual Patriot Shootout of Alabama by the Folds of Honor Foundation.

Riverchase Country Club will immediately begin a multi-million dollar golf course and a phased clubhouse renovation. The par 72, 18-hole championship golf course will undergo an extensive capital improvement program, including a golf course greens renovation project, irrigation system upgrade, and new course and practice range amenities. The second phase will include indoor and outdoor food and beverage clubhouse enhancements. Since 1976, the course has hosted several high-profile events, including the SEC Women’s Golf Championship, the Alabama State Four-Ball Championship, and the Alabama State Amateur Championship.

Since purchasing Heritage Golf Group in January 2020, the current ownership and leadership team has grown the company to include 30 clubs across the country. With its home office in Northern Virginia, just outside Washington, D.C., Heritage’s 30 clubs are in Alabama, Colorado, Florida, Georgia, Illinois, Missouri, New Jersey, New York, North Carolina, South Carolina, Virginia, Michigan and Wisconsin.
