Riverwood is 30 minutes southeast of Raleigh off US 70 on the north side of Clayton with 27 holes in a residential development including several holes along the Neuse River.

There's a constant variety to the layout as it moves over a change of elevation with a blend of broad and narrow, tree lined corridors, an abundance of water features, and sand traps along the fairways and defending the greens. The course was designed by David Postlethwait with the Riverview/Meadowlands the shortest and most playable at 6,385 yards from the blue tees, 71.4/127 course and slope ratings; Meadowlands/Deer Run-6,836 yards, 73.3/130; Deer Run/Riverview-6,719 yards, 72.7/128, with one longer and three shorter sets of tees.
