About
River Hills Golf and Country Club is in Little River, near North Myrtle Beach, a Tom Jackson product that shows heavily-wooded, rolling terrain with elevation changes as much as 40 feet. Golfers won't encounter parallel fairways, but they will encounter fairways that weave through a series of homes, along with dogwood, maple, live oak, pine and cypress tees. They will also see quite a bit of water, though most of it is lateral.

Nice Golf Course
This is a nice course in great condition. Very friendly and engaging staff. Will play again.
Nice course, horrible pace of play.
First time out here, heard some good things so I came out here, they don't properly space players out at all so every single shot I was waiting 10 minutes plus before I could hit. If you're expecting to shoot good out here, just don't come, you're momentum gets ruined every hole and every shot, I still shot a 76 but having 4 GROUPS on ONE HOLE, is something that should never happen. Spoke to the pro shop about it and he seemed to not care one bit. Besides a horrible wait time which kills any game of golf, course was meh.
Tough but fun course
This course whooped our tails, but still had a good time. Started on the back nine, and had the latest tee time (4:30) Got there plenty early and it had a good range and practice greens. Course is well designed and will favor accuracy over distance, it gets pretty tight. Since we were not able to get the front 9 in time they gave us a rain check for 9. Can’t wait to play the front.
River hills holf
This course layout was very interesting. Tight fairways and tricky greens. The course conditions were a little shaky, tee boxes were in rough shape and the fairways were a little thin. But all in all a good track
Surprising
I read the reviews online and watched a couple YouTube videos before I decided to play this course on my vacation. Was really surprised with the range. Got on the course and the conditions were great. Fairways weee nice, roughs were challenging, greens rolled fast. Hole 7 was a beautiful hole.
Tricky course
If you’re a long hitter keep the driver at home. Dog legs everywhere. Greens were inconsistent but considering the time of year they were above average. Ball placement on tee shots was key.
Nice conditions
Played a fun round started on 10. Rough start but the day got better 4:23 minutes not too bad. Nice greens
Weird situation with having to leave my license for a HP flag. Almost forgot to get it back…
Would play again
Challenge
For the month of March the course is quite green. Several holes with water hazards make it challenging and fun.
Very nice place
My wife and I played.... we had a great time. Everyone working there we're super nice. The course was in great shape. Definitely worth the play
Nice layout
Early in the season, the grass is growing in, but still enjoyable. Quite a few holes have water hazards that make it challenging.
Outstanding golf course
Staff was outstanding, showed up as a single player but service was as if I was a part of a large group.
Hearty Myrtle Beach fare
Myrtle Beach being a mecca of buffet restaurants, it is also a golf buffet of sorts. Whether a given golf courses is considered a feature or filler is always a matter of debate. To me, River Hills falls somewhere in between those two descriptions. It has a handful of interesting, if sometimes quirky holes, balanced out with some more pedestrian ones. It was in really good shape when I played it, and the people and other facilities were nice as well. It may be more for the Chevrolet set than the jet set, but those sorts of courses can be a crucial part of a well-balanced golf vacation.
