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.

Great value

I was pleasantly surprised how nice the course was for the money, especially in Myrtle Beach. The course was challenging, but fun. I would recommend it to anyone.

OK Course Great staff

Course is in decent shape..

No major issues but several holes have rough areas. Maybe when grass fully returns things will improve.

Staff is very courteous and helpful.

Good for $60

Played March 24th...The greens were consistent and true. With all the dormant grass at this time of year it was nice to have good greens! Only complaint were the bunkers....some were filled with cement for some reason! Who wants to be in traps anyways?! Course is short and tight but also lots of bail outs so overall it was fair.. Shout out to Ron the starter who also doubled as a marshal. We got around in 4:15 hrs (2pm ttime)

Good course

Tee to green was by and large in good condition. This area is in a drought that has impacted the overall course conditions. Areas needing improvement are sand traps (not unusual to only have a 1/4” of sand and golf carts are beyond needing to be replaced. That being said we consider the course to be a good value.

Had a Good Time

I was a single who was put together with two young men. It was my first round since last October and I had a good time, although I probably should have quit after 9 or not had a beer on the turn. We had an incident as the foursome in front of us accused us of hitting into them, which was not true. Not sure what brought this on, but the ranger came around and we told him our side of the story. We finished our round, without incident.

Greens nice, pace of play terrible.

Fairways and greens were in good shape. Unfortunately the pace of play especially on the back nine, really ruined the day. There were waits of 10-15 minutes on a few holes, with three groups on some tees. There must have been a group way upfront that caused the slowness. The rangers were driving by to tell us.
