We love hearing about our golfers' experiences, u000005599801. Please tell us more about what you enjoyed during your round. Thanks for choosing Riverwood Golf Club - Riverview/Meadowlands Course!
Beautiful Course
The weather was nice but damp the course condition was wonderful for the off-season I loved it so much that I became a member. The course is less than 10 minutes from my house and the extra perks fitness center, indoor-outdoor pools walking paths, etc. makes it well worth the money.

Thank you so much for the great review. We are glad you had an incredible time, and we hope to see you again soon! Thanks for choosing Riverwood Golf Club - Riverview/Meadowlands Course.
Challenging and fun course with some beautiful holes
Any course with the name "river" in it always concerns me a bit as I'm not too fond of tons of water, but for the most part water isn't too much of a concern here. I've played the course a few times now and it really is a great layout with some very diverse holes. The first few holes will give you the impression that the course is really tight, but there is actually a lot of variance in the layout. There's a nice mix of short par 4s that are nearly driveable and nearly 600 yard par 5s that are just a lot of fun. I would say the par3's really standout though. They are quite beautiful holes. Overall the course is a bit tight in spots but it really is a great mix of holes and I would highly recommend giving it a try. I recently played on a warm day in January and the conditions were great. Greens are painted but were in top shape for this time of year.

Your feedback is important to us, jcbryant4200. Thank you for sharing your 5-star experience. We look forward to seeing you again at the course soon! Thanks for choosing Riverwood Golf Club - Riverview/Meadowlands Course.
Fred Smith Courses
This is clearly the best of the Fred Smith Courses and I play this course 5-6 times a year. Except for mid-winter it is in very good shape. All 3 9’s are challenging, but fun. Wish he would maintain his other course as well as this one.

Great course
I moved to NC in October and joined this course. I’m from the north and the opportunity to play this late is awesome. I’ve played twice and the Course was in great shape. Greens are fast and true. Fairways in great shape.

The course has some awesome features
I would recommend this golf course to be played at least 5 times a year. I plan on doing the same. The layout of the course is challenging and that is what I like about this golf course!

Gorgeous Round of Golf
Riverwood is well maintained and the scenery is just great. Nice long par fives. Great fairways and we’ll kept rough. Even in the fall the greens are nice and tight.
The grill is amazing. Seriously good food and a great beer selection.
It’s busy and not cheap but definitely the best round of golf near me in Clayton.

Overall
Over all the greens were fast however the course was in good shape and very challenging. Could not have ask for a better day to play the weather was perfect and we will play again.
My minor complaint is with the snack bar and lack of a Mobile Cart on the course . We always grab a snack before we start and it has become a tradition for us to check out the sandwiches and hotdogs. I have to admit the selection was not worth the effort on this visit . With restrictions on bringing coolers on the course the snack bar could use some major improvement. This will not keep me from playing again it will just mean I will have to bring my own course snacks along.

Hello, u2059480. Thank you for visiting us at Riverwood Golf Club - Riverview/Meadowlands Course. We appreciate your 4-star rating and review. We hope you join us for another round soon.
At 71 years old it’s a long walk from the cart paths to the tee’s and greens.

Not impressed
Definitely not in a rush to go back. That kind of bums me out since I live nearby and was hoping this would be a good place to add to my rotation. I only played the Meadowlands 9 and decided that I had seen enough. There isn't a flat tee box on the course which makes teeing off an adventure. You should never have to tee off with the ball above/below your feet. Bunkers are hard dirt and not kept up.
Greens were in good shape and fast, but other than that I don't have much good to say about this place.

Good course
I'm a member so it doesn't cost me as much per round but for non members they charge a premium price ($70) for not exactly a premium course. It's usually in decent shape with good rolling greens, but not perfect by any means. Tee boxes can get pretty ragged out.

Thank you for your review, Lucas5401. We will pass along your positive experience to our team at Riverwood Golf Club - Riverview/Meadowlands Course. We look forward to seeing you again soon.
Good pace
The staff was friendly, pace of play perfect, nice starter.
