It has been a few years since I last played Riverwood, and we decided to give it a shot. I've always liked the layout of this course. Good drives are rewarded and there are quite a few holes that make you think about your shot selection. Smart placement of water, trees, and bunkers, and while there are houses on the course, they are out of the way.

The greens are in absolutely terrible condition. They were very heavily sanded, diseased, and damaged. If you're looking for greens that roll true and a solid round, do not play here right now. There was diseased spots in the fairway as well, but they were in average condition. There were also multiple tee boxes closed with artificial tee boxes in place. I would assume this is temporary, but the artificial tees had obviously been there for quite some time.

I found the clubhouse staff to be rude. We also had to wait for the groundskeepers to stop mowing to tee off; he mowed the entire fairway before moving aside for us to play.

There are better courses for less money in Clayton who welcome your business, and a ton of better options in and around Raleigh.

I enjoyed my round at CC of Johnston County. The course isn't terribly long and the layout is fairly open, but there are a few opportunities that make you think about your shot selection. The course was in good shape, the greens rolled true, and the staff was extremely accommodating. I'll definitely be back.
