River Oaks Golf Club
About
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.

Poor Condioned
Very poorly maintained. Bunkers were a joke,most with no rakes and mud. We were told that they were redoing them, but no signs of work being done. Greens were in terrible condition, most with no grass.
River Oaks Review Oct 2024
Course was in good condition. Some of the greens had some damage, but did not affect the play. Greens were playing fast. Had to be careful if about the pin.
On Friday afternoon, course was busy with players. Did not affect play'.
Great course for the value
The layout of the course was very nice. There are areas where the water hazard come into play, but gives you a good approach shot to the greens. Some of the greens were covered by bonkers which was cool. The greens and some holes were not in great shape as they showed a little wear, and hadn't been watered in some areas. We played Fox to Otter courses.
Very disappointing
We were at this course year ago and it was definitely better that it was this time. For the price it was quite overrated.
The most important thing at any golf course is the condition of the greens were a game is played.the greens were quite terrible with lots of cancer on the greens. If this was January or February I would MAYBE accept this but certainly not at this time of the year .
We came from Canada in the hopes of playing nice courses in Myrtle but I can play courses in my area near and around Montreal for the same price that hosted PGA or LPGA tournament even the course we play at regularly would be rated a 10.
A beauty day at Rivee Oaks👍
I hadn't played River Oaks Golf Club in Myrtle Beach, in 30 years.
So many great improvements and boy has the area grown up around the club.
The layout is still challenging but very fair.
There is a selection of 4 different tee markers, based on a players ability.
Course condition was a 4 out of five.
Pace of play was 4 hours👍
They also have a very nice practice facility to warm up on.
I wouldn't hesitate to play again and the dollar value was excellent.
Staff was professional and on point👍
Good value
Not an easy cause, some of the greens & bunkers had issues.
Friendly Accommodating Staff
Enjoyed the day but the course not as maintained as others we visited.

River Oaks
Course plays nicely though there were several greens that need a lot of repair. Had a nice round paired up with a grandfather and two of his grandsons. Course staff was very friendly.
