American Golf Renews River Ridge Contract, Launching Property-Wide Upgrades

AMERICAN GOLF RENEWS MANAGEMENT OF RIVERRIDGE GOLF COURSE IN OXNARD, CA

Leading Golf Management Company Expands Partnership with the City of Oxnard to Include Property-Wide Enhancements

OXNARD, CA (December 5, 2025) – American Golf Corporation (AGC), a premier golf course management company with over 50 years of experience, has officially renewed its agreement with the City of Oxnard to manage the operations of River Ridge Golf Club. This marks the continuation of a successful partnership that began in 2019 and reinforces AGC’s long-term commitment to providing exceptional golf and event experiences at the city’s signature 36-hole public facility.

Since assuming operations of both the Vineyard and Victoria Lakes courses, American Golf has delivered measurable improvements in agronomy, player services, event management, and community programming. Under AGC’s stewardship, River Ridge has become one of the top-rated golf facilities in Ventura County, featuring the area’s largest driving range, expansive banquet amenities, and a highly regarded daily-fee golf experience.

As part of this next chapter, AGC and the City of Oxnard have outlined a slate of capital improvements designed to enhance both the facility and the guest experience.

Planned Enhancements Underway at River Ridge Include:

  • Facility Upgrades: A new roof for the clubhouse, interior and exterior painting, and replacement of the clubhouse elevator are part of a broader initiative to modernize the guest experience.
  • Guest Arrival & Circulation Improvements: Plans include a redesigned parking lot to increase capacity and remove underutilized landscaping, along with new entry signage to create a more welcoming first impression.
  • Golf Experience Enhancements: Updates to the driving range, replacement of all water fountains on both courses, and the complete rebuild of the iconic pond on Hole #13 of the Vineyard Course will elevate playability and aesthetics.
  • Event & Retail Modernization: A full redesign of the golf shop and an upgrade of the banquet room are slated to enhance River Ridge’s appeal for tournaments, weddings, and private functions.

“This renewal is more than a contract extension, it’s a shared commitment to elevating public golf in Oxnard,” said Kyle Rickman, Chief Operating Officer of American Golf. “We’re proud to continue our collaboration with the City and excited to invest in improvements that will serve golfers, event guests, and the local community for years to come.”

Membership & Community Engagement

AGC’s signature Player’s Club membership program continues to grow at River Ridge, providing golfers with value-driven access, exclusive benefits, and a consistent incentive to stay engaged with the game. In parallel, AGC has deepened ties to the local community through youth programming, charity events, and partnerships that align with Oxnard’s goals for recreation and economic development.
