Great course with some manageable challenges.

We played the River and Deer nines of this 27 hole course and found it to be a great challenge of skill sets and has a nice balance of accuracy-minded tee shots paired with some grip-n-rip shots off the tee. The greens were heavily sanded and were a little inconsistent putting due to it, but otherwise the conditions were terrific and the fairways were in great shape.

Very nice place to get in a quiet round that moves quickly (we played 18 in 3 hours exactly), but also challenges players of multiple skill sets.

Will definitely be playing again.

Good scenery and enough challenge for all.

Played on a day it was raining so hard for me to do a proper review. Greens were in OK condition. Not great and not bad. Staff is friendly and nice.

Some nice and long holes to challenge most golfers. Compared to 'The Neuse', I would have to say that 'The Neuse' is a better course to the eyes. The greens were also better at the Neuse. In the peak of summer, I am sure Riverwood will be just as good. Worth trying if you are from Raleigh/Cary/Durham.

On the short side but challenging

Played from the forward tees. Very fair and somewhat on the short side but challenging. Greens are tricky but fun and in great shape.
Fairways where in very good shape for the time of year (early April).
I would love to see the clubhouse revamped.
