Rating 72.9

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.

Nice Course

This course was in good shape. Fairways and greens were fair. I would play this course again. I think it is on the low end of a 4 star.

Nice layout. Fairways nice & wide.

The only thing I didn't find appealing were all the bunkers. They were wet with no drainage & the sand should be replaced with better quality product.

Besides that, I enjoyed myself, and for my first round here in Myrtle Beach, it was a pleasure to play....

Playable but overpriced

Not the most beautiful, but not a bad course. Would definitely play there again if it were around $30 which is what I would consider a fair value. Greens were slow but puttable, fairways and tee boxes were OK, but this is not the course you would want to play if you are only playing a round or two while in the area.

Challenging Greens

For a short hitter like me this course should be played from the Gold Tees...mostly raised greens which were in good shape with plenty of undulations...all in all a pleasure to play!

Great Track for Seniors

This is a great place for the senior golfer . I think the advanced golfer would find this course a bit easy. The greens are true. The staff is friendly and helpful. The conditions were soggy when I played..

Need course layout

I wish the score card had the course layout on it. Or at each tee box have the hole layout shown.
