Great day of golf
Challenging but fair. Course was in great shape considering the rain we have had. Highly recommend.
Riverwood 4/6
Layout of the course is great. Really challenging. The course is still recovering from the wet winter. Fairways were a bit thin. To be expected considering. Greens were rolling well. A group of five started in front of us, but the staff broke them up after the first hole. $59 was a little steep for the course in my opinion. I will def play it again after the fairways fill in this spring.
Thank you for the great feedback! We love hearing from you and are glad you had a good experience. We would love the opportunity to bump those 4 stars to 5. We hope you will come back soon so we can WOW you on your next visit. Until then, take care!
Needs Bermuda badly
Layout is pretty nice, and definitely challenging. Greens roll well. Fairways and tee boxes really need help. This course is dying for the Bermuda to come in. Another 4+ weeks and I’m sure this place will be nice

Fast Greens
For a new golfer to this course,
This golf course has 27 holes. There are not many trees that are in your way but green slopes are crazy (in a good and fun way)
Overall condition for greens were excellent.
for fairways were great as well.
Only thing that I did not like was that there were a few holes that leaves were just left on the course make it very hard to find a ball in the rough.
We love hearing from you and are glad you had a good experience. Your first visit to our course is definitely exciting. We understand there are many options and are so glad you gave us a try. We look forward to having you back again soon and developing a lasting relationship with you. Until then, take care!

Great course
Played here for the first time and loved everything about it. Staff was super friendly and went out of their way to help me. Course was in great shape. Both fairways and greens were nice. Fun layout that is a little different than most other courses in the area. Played in 3 hours on a weekend afternoon, which is unheard of at most other courses around. Also a nice little practice facility. I will definitely be back. If it weren't a 45 minute drive from my house I would play here all the time. Great value for the money.

Challenging but Fun and Fair
We played Meadowlands/Deer Run nines. Meadow is a bit quirky and Deer Run is a brute....long par 4's!!
Greens were a little slow but rolled well. Rest of course in very good condition. Will play again.

Great greens!
Continues to have some of the best greens in the area. Enjoyable round - could only have been made better by having a ranger to hurry along the slow group in front of us.

Tester
This 27-hole course has a little of everything. Greens are inconsistent currently, normally in good shape. This course will test every shot in your bag.

Beautiful Course
This is a beautiful scenic course around the Neuse River. This course has character! (Cheeseburgers here are great!)
I'll be back to play this one soon!

Great Layout / Poor Execution
I'll start with the ugly: many of the greens are burnt out. It's not pretty. It's a darn shame. And many of the pin locations were placed right in the heart of the worst part of the green.
Aside from that, it was mostly fine. I seemed to find a lot of awkward lies, even in the fairway. The rough is mildly punishing, which I actually like (most courses around here have little distinction between rough and fairway).
The track is one of the best around: lots of elevation changes, some blind shots, mix of long and short holes for par 3s, 4s, and 5s.
Advice: add some amenities and fix the greens, and you'll have 5 stars from anyone.
Poor Conditions
Don't waste your money and time. Greens in really bad shape. Another course Fred Smith is letting be run into the ground.
Good golf course
Good layout, pace of play good. Some greens had damage- but pin placements minimized their impact.
Thanks so much for the review. We look forward to welcoming you back to our course soon. Thanks for choosing Riverwood Golf Club - Riverview/Meadowlands Course.
Fun Layout
RiverWood has 3 nines. We played Riverview and Deer Run. The greens were in good condition other than # 7 and 8 on Deer Run. The fairways/rough had been aerated but it wasn't an issue. It's a fun, challenging layout....if you play from the correct tees.
Course needs another month of HOT weather to green up the fairways. New carts were nice as well as the new bar/grill area in the clubhouse.
First time out
Great course. It was a little wet in some places but being it's the beginning of spring, I'm not surprised. Biggest complaint is that a couple of the greens had some erosion and dead spots but again, this is if I had to find something to complain about. Otherwise the course was in really good shape and it was super fun to play. I'd go back anytime.
Thank you for your kind words! We hope to see you again at the course very soon for another 5-star experience. Thanks for choosing Riverwood Golf Club - Riverview/Meadowlands Course.
