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.

Disappointed…

Expected better for a Myrtle Beach Course; tee boxes with too many divots, fairways with bumps, cart paths crumbing, and greens uneven and fuzzy. Course Staff was great and the clubhouse was really nice. Played with two really nice guys that told us the course is closing and plans are to redevelop in to Condos. Too bad, bet is was really nice in it’s heyday..

Good course..Great staff

The day I played was cart path only so a lot of walking and carrying multiple clubs for distance.. fairway was squishy and some of the greens had bare spots. Granted a hurricane had just passed through.

Clubhouse staff was super great, I was late getting the hot deal but they were super flexible about my check in time. A super shout out to Brian in the Pro shop.. I accidentally got the deal for the next day but he let me play anyway and rang it in the next day. Highly recommend

Nice layout and well maintained

Played first off after the week of Hurricane and Storms the night beforehand. The course was understandably wet and cart path only but still had a good bit of roll if you stayed in the fairways. Couple of spots on 2 of the greens that were under repair but overall they rolled true if a little slow. Would definitely play again.

Otter, Fox

it was a good course for the money and with the set up you could play from the same place and see a different 18. we played the back 9 of Otter which was narrow but still fun and playable, and the front 9 of fox to finish our 18 fox was more open but posed some challenges

Fore a lot of fun

We really enjoyed this course. It is both challenging and playable for a bogey golfer like myself. A few sneaky water hazards so look for the flags.

Can’t miss having a good time. Fully stocked pro shop and deli/restaurant.

Try them out! You will thank me later.

Please don't close

First time playing here. Such a personable course. Hate to hear the land has been sold to make room for more useless housing. Please find a way to stay open. Losing courses in MB left and right. We enjoyed the course.

Driving Range

Driving range is available in the website, but I was told that driving range is not available, which means information on the website is false. If I knew that driving range is not available, I wouldn't go there. I don't want you to mislead the golfers who don't know that driving range is not open on Tuesday. Every detailed must be provided to the golfers in the process of reservation.

Nice layout, just a few bad spots on the greens that were probably caused by a hot summer.

Would have been nice to know that greens had recently been aerated. Other than that the course was in good shape.
