Why get fit at RRGLC?

Our philosophy at the RRGLC regarding club fitting is a simple one: invest the time, expertise, and capital that will foster a belief amongst our membership that we are the optimal solution when it comes to providing them with properly fit golf equipment. For more than 25 years, River Run has been a leader in the golf equipment fitting industry. As golf professionals. we recognize that club fitting is central to our operation. We offer every major brand of equipment available today.

Unlike off-course fitting centers, as your golf professionals, we strive to not only fit you properly, we also want to invest the time to help with your swing technique. Fitting and teaching are forever linked and should never be separate. Some inexperienced fitters may fit you with a set of clubs based on a means to compensate for a faulty swing technique. We differ from this form of fitting, for it only serves you temporarily. Our successful approach to club fitting is supported by years of experience, continued education in equipment offerings, and cutting-edge technology. Because of these commitments to excellence, we have no doubt you will be better equipped to enjoy this game of a lifetime.
