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.

Great Round on a Great Course

Course was in excellent condition. Was challenging, but not too tough. Worth the money and a return trip - should get more praise that it gets.

Shots missing the green are very penal.

This course has a lot of water on it and if you miss the green you are either in the water or hitting from hard ground, there is no rough to speak off. The course has a lot of dog legs so many of the holes are not driver holes. If you are looking for a friendlier course especially for women, look at Willbrook or River Run on Pawley's Island.

Challenging Course with good value

I have played River Hills several times in the past. The course has excellent challenge with some great personality. Each hole is interesting and unlike any of the previous holes which keeps you thinking. You can't just "grip it and rip it", you have to think about how you want to play each hole which makes it a nice test. For average golfers like me, i found it to be very challenging but still fun. I will continue to play this course on every trip to Myrtle Beach.

In great shape with plenty of challenge. Bunkers and water in play, so you have to be precise. Very nice layout.

Several holes will challenge the most avid golfers.

This is a beautiful course that will challenge the accuracy of your drive and you will have to use good course management to keep yourself out of trouble. I love some of the holes, like No. 4 that will test your skills as you hit your second shot to the green. Several holes will challenge every club in your bag.
Love it!

A good course for the average golfer

I played on a Monday morning,came as a single and was paired with a twosome. The course was in good shape and the pace of play was good. There are a few challenging holes and water only came into play on only 2. I would play this course again. It was a good value for the price.
