River Oaks Golf Club - Bear/Fox
Rating Snapshot
About
River Oaks Golf Club boasts three different nine-hole courses: the Bear, Fox, and Otter. Carefully carved from a former nature preserve, the courses sprawl across a scenic stretch of the Intracoastal with a convenient location that is just minutes from downtown Myrtle Beach. The nines, which are named after the different wildlife that call the club home, each have a unique character and different set of challenges and they can be mixed and matched to create different 18-hole combinations. The Bear/Fox golf course provides a challenging test with a front nine where water comes into play on almost every hole, including an almost-island green on the par-3 fourth. The Fox nine, the shortest of the three at 3,346 yards, gives you a chance to recover your score with some risk-reward opportunities.

Great course
First time playing this course. Every staff member we encountered was very professional and happy to help or provide information. The greens looked and putted great. Course was challenging and fun.
Good value
This course offered a good value for the price. Staff were extremely nice and got us out 45 minutes early with the threat of rain coming later.
One thing missing
Good fun course. The one thing missing for a first timer was pictures of the hole/layout. Nothing in boxes and black and white pics on scorecard were not helpful. Played Bear and Fox. Will go back to play Otter!
Greens are getting better and better every week. Fairways a bit dry. I enjoy this course.
First win in SC
Great day on the course...staff very friendly & helpful and course was in great shape! Thanks River Oaks!
Need rain
Greens were in excellent condition, fairways thin with tight lies.
Fun round
Nice layout. Pretty good condition. Greens rolled true but were a little slow. Very friendly staff. I would definitely play again.
