Editor's Note: Course closed for business in 12/2025.

River Oaks Golf Club stretches across more than 800 scenic acres along the Intracoastal Waterway. The Course begins with the shortest of the three nines and finishes with the longest. The final hole on the front nine presents one of the most interesting risk-reward opportunities on the golf course. You can aim for the right bunker for an open shot at the green or try a long drive down the left side for a short approach. River Oaks Golf Clubs' Otter nine has several challenges in store including mounding, strategically placed bunkers, and tricky water hazards.

Course was in good shape, pace of play was pretty smooth that day, staff was friendly and course layout was nice.

It's a nice course to play for the price (mid range).

The only thing that we were disappointed with were the gas carts!

They are literally the worst and breathing in the fumes was not the best!

River Oaks

First thing I noticed was how bad the carts looked. Started said they were soon to be replaced. Course conditions were avg. Pace of play was OK. Was playing with “HotDeal” otherwise would have been over priced in my opinion.

Great course in good shape. Pace of play could’ve been better but it was a Sunday afternoon so some backup is expected.

Decent Value

Third time playing after several years. Fairways and tee boxes were fine, greens just OK but passable. Excellent pace of pace for a Myrtle Beach course. Clubhouse food compares with a 7-11. Course is in far better shape than years ago and staff is very friendly. Decent value for money and will return in the future.

Don’t waste your money or time

Uninteresting, slow play, construction(housing) on all fairways, way overpriced, staff not engaging, course in ok shape.

Save your money and play Eagle Nest in Little River. You’ll be had you did!
