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.

2nd Time

Played twice now in the last 4 weeks, greens are rolling very weak, may have caught a day when they needed to be cut. Just a little slower than the first time. Definitely worth playing

Good but…

Been playing RH for over 25 years now. Course is still fun to play, challenging to say the least, but maintenance has fallen off. I.e., cart paths are terrible. Tree roots and run off make for a real bumpy ride.

Nice layout

Played from Magenta tees 6400 yds. Very nice course in good condition. Presents a lot of different shots and requires thought in how to approach each hole. Lots of OB, some close to fairways & greens, as much of the course winds through residential areas. As a first time player there were a few surprises that aren't obvious on the scorecard or hole sketches. Overall a fun & challenging course.

Great day at River Hills

Played River Hills with my wife. The course was in excellent shape and the staff was super friendly. They paired us with a twosome’s but gave us the option of playing alone. Pace of play was excellent and we had a delightful time.

Fantastic golf course!

This place is amazing. Greens rolled well, fairways were tight and tee decks were flat. My wife had great time playing forward tees! Can't wait to come back!

Just rude people

Our pace of plays was more dictated by the two we played with (never me them before) and each time they put a ball in the water they ball hogged. That being said, the Marshalls were rude as well as the landscapers. Can someone explain why they’re still cutting at mid day. Furthermore the food for lunch was way less than average.

River Hills is a gem

Not your typical Myrtle course. Very pretty and creative. Bombers need not apply. This is pure strategic shot makers course. Select tees very carefully. If you are a senior or high handicapper be smart. Select shorter tee location. 5600 yards on this course is tough and I normally hit a 230 driver. I really enjoyed the layout with water and sand in play. Good luck and enjoy.
