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.

We played as a twosome which was very nice. First 9 was on the Bear Course which was in bad condition, muddy and bad turf. Second 9 was on the Fox Course which was in better condition. In general they need to put up signs and yardage markers that are accurate. Many times the scorecard yardage was WAY off and once you're in the fairway there is no way to check distances!

An OK course among many available options in Myrtle

Of the 3 courses I played this week, in and around Myrtle, this was the least impressive. We were directed to play the Bear and the Fox 9-hole tracks, Conditions on the Bear were a bit rough, with incomplete (lacking green grass) fairways, notable mud ruts, rough cart paths, and scruffy tee boxes. Greens were ok but slower (and less true) than our other two courses (Sea Trail - Byrd, and Prestwick CC). The more temperate speed was appreciated, but countered by a less predictable roll. The Fox course seemed like it belonged to a different complex altogether. It was in better shape, had a more open and more interesting layout, and more impressive. Overall, averaging the two nines, would say the experience was just that: average. Commensurate with the $35 GolfNow price. Good pace of play. Starter got us out on time. Nice hot dog at the turn!

Nice but not easy

Course was in good shape and staff was friendly and helpful, but this is not a course for beginners. Most olds have several mounds that make shots roll in trouble areas. Bunkers are deep and greens have lots of insulation. No real complaints just realize you need some real ability to score well here.

Overall very positive

Overall very positive. The staff was very friendly and helpful. The course was a swamp and we played others during the wet weather which drained much better. I’ll be back in the dry weather because we enjoyed the course
