Twilight round

Played weekday twilight for under $20 starting at 5:10. Not bad in every category except greens. I’ve been here a half dozen times or so over the years and it’s always the same - fuzzy, bumpy, grainy greens with a mix of different grasses. They run kind of fast but don’t have a true roll. For the price it’s not bad and I’d come back, but just keep in mind you’re not getting greens on par with the other public courses around Clayton/Raleigh (maybe similar to RGA).

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.

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.

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.
