The course is situated on the lagoons of the Wando and laid out along the marshlands and with tree lined fairways and with 13 holes along the Wando River and Horlbeck Creek. The course can play to its longest at 7200 yards with a 135 slope, but has four other sets of tees. This is one of the finest layouts and best maintained courses in the area, if it was in Myrtle Beach, the rates would be twice as much. The front nine is wide open while the back nine winds through the trees, and along the water. Excellent well rounded course, lots of interesting holes, and very well done.

Other than it being like playing in a blast furnace, playing Rivertowne yesterday was one of my better experiences in the Charleston area. Excellent conditioning, especially the greens, played after 1, so no one was on the course and we breezed around in under 4 hours. Excellent layout, challenging with a lot of variety in the hole design. Will return soon.

Rivertowne has a variety of holes from par 3's as short as 152 yards (from the tips) to as long as 213 yards (from the tips) and par 5's as short as 507 yards (from the tips) and as long as 586 yards (from the tips). the course is protected with a varitey of water features - marsh, creeks, and ponds, as well as some heavily tree lined fairways, and strategically placed bunkers. the course all features a number of holes with severe dog legs leaving a number of risk reward shots off the tee and if played conservatively, leaving long irons into the greens. the greens are large and undulating leaving long putts very difficult to judge as well as making the shorter putts very difficult too. there is not much topography on the course but there are a couple of holes where the fairway or green are slighly elevated making tee shots or approach shots play a little longer. Fair test of golf, plenty of trouble, a real shotmaker's layout.
