River Club

11 Pine Drive • Pawleys Island, SC 29585

Holes #14 & #18 are featured in “The 100 Greatest Holes along the Grand Strand,” – published by The Sun News. The semi-private River Club has proven to be one of the most challenging courses in the Myrtle Beach area and for you purists, is the only course in the South Strand with A-1 bent grass greens. A Tom Jackson signature course & a favorite among returning golfers.

“The Myrtle Beach Golf Insider” has over 325 reviews on this course with a weighted overall 8.2 course evaluation. Go to www.Mbgolfinsider.com to see and compare the latest reviews by visiting golfers.

Play a Golf Digest 4.5 STAR course, since 2006. True to its name, River Club features water on 15 of 18 holes, and over 100 bunkers. There is ample room off the tee, but approach shots need to be true because of the numerous forced carries. The par-5, 18th is unquestionably one of the finest finishing holes on the Grand Strand, offering risk and reward to those who can carry the water twice for a possible chance at eagle. This is one you won’t want to miss.
