River Club

Over the years, more and more courses are neglected in the Myrtle Beach area but the greenfee keep rising. I Can tell that River Club is still a top course with a nice staff. Spécial mention to the starter from Pennsylvania who made us feel welcome. Will play again, long Life to River Club ! Money worth !

This was my first time at River Club, and my first taste of low country, Pawley’s Island golf. I joined a group going out first at 7:45am. Conditions could not be better. Fairways were pure, and tee boxes were soft. Greens, although tricky, rolled true, and some were especially quick. The staff at the bag drop, starters, and inside the shop could not have been more friendly. I’d recommend this course to anyone looking for classic, low country golf, and I look forward to coming back soon.

Played here as part of a golf trip with friends. Upon arrival the staff is quick to get your bags on the cart. Check in etc. was fine. Got there early so we could warm up and found out there is no driving range. The course itself was nice and in good shape despite not getting a lot of rain lately. We were a group of eight (two tee times) and when the first group finished they waited near the 18 green for the other group. The starter came over and yelled at us to take our carts back immediately. Then right after that one of the cart guys had walked about half way there and yelled the same thing in a not so friendly way.

I come to the beach 4-5 times per year and I play this course every visit. Love it!

Greens had been punched a couple weeks aga not very good and Fairways were a little weathered. I guess it’s just that time of year.

River club was the first course my then, 9 year old son played 18 with me and my buddies. He fell in love with the layout and course challenges. We had played the course numerous times over the years. We were in town for a funeral so we snuck out for an early round. Tee time 7:53 am. Paired with another father son twosome. Very nice folks. The threesome ahead of us took almost three hours to play the front 9. We stated our concern to the ranger. We complained at the turn. Our complaint fell on deaf ears. To our surprise the slothful threesome picked up a fourth player at the turn. Let the fun begin. Oh well. The condition of the greens was not good. Very fuzzy and bumpy. Putting was quite the adventure. At 10 am the beverage cart arrived and the day got more relaxed. We all had a fun time but would have enjoyed the course with a reasonable pace of play and better conditioned greens.

Greens were beautiful! Challenging but fun course surrounded by lots of water. Had a great time!
