Riverwood Golf Course

Riverwood Golf Course is a par-72, 7,066-yard public course in Bismarck, ND, established 1969 — the 2nd-longest course on record in North Dakota. From the Black tees it plays to a 74.8 rating and 132 slope.

Riverwood Golf Course is a Bismarck facility near the Missouri River corridor that defines the capital city's western edge. The river's proximity provides natural scenery and the riparian landscape of cottonwood trees and river bluffs that distinguishes this corner of the course from the open upland prairie. Bismarck has grown as an energy sector hub in the Bakken formation's development era, and the city's professional community has expanded the recreational market for facilities throughout the capital area. The open prairie setting creates wind-exposed playing conditions that define golf across North Dakota, where the Canadian prairie's weather systems move unimpeded across the flat landscape and course management requires honest accounting for prevailing conditions.
