Riverwood Golf Club

Port Charlotte, FL — Nestled high in the Colorado Rockies, you'll discover a mountain golf experience unlike any other. Dick Phelps, a master of high-altitude design, crafted this 1985 gem to seamlessly integrate with Silverthorne's dramatic topography. You'll navigate fairways carved through dense pine forests, where elevation changes are not just features, but fundamental elements of strategy. The course demands thoughtful shot placement, rewarding precision over raw power as you contend with uphill approaches and exhilarating downhill drives. Phelps's genius lies in his ability to make each hole feel distinct, utilizing natural contours and water features to create memorable challenges. You'll encounter pristine mountain streams and strategically placed bunkers that guard greens, requiring a keen eye and steady hand. The thin mountain air provides an extra kick to your drives, but also amplifies the challenge of judging distances. This course is perfectly suited for golfers who appreciate a strategic test amidst breathtaking panoramic views of the Gore Range. It’s an immersive journey through Colorado's natural beauty, offering a refreshing escape from typical resort layouts. You'll find yourself captivated by the serene environment and the thoughtful design that encourages you to embrace the unique demands of mountain golf. Every round here is an adventure, a true testament to Phelps's vision for a course that plays as spectacularly as it looks.
