Riverwood Golf Club

Riverwood Golf Club in Clayton offers nine holes of par-36 golf playing 3,709 yards, a generous length for a nine-hole course. The layout sits southeast of Raleigh in Johnston County, an area that has seen rapid residential growth in recent decades. A driving range on-site allows golfers to practice before playing, and premium pricing reflects the course’s conditioning standards.

The course routes through wooded terrain near the Neuse River drainage, with creek crossings and a few ponds adding water hazards. At over 3,700 yards for nine holes, the layout has enough length to challenge skilled players, and most holes demand accurate tee shots to avoid the trees lining the fairways. Riverwood draws golfers from Clayton, Garner, and the southeast Raleigh suburbs who prefer a well-maintained nine-hole option over a longer drive to the Triangle’s 18-hole courses.
