River Oaks Golf Club in Myrtle Beach is home to 27 holes of championship golf. The course sprawls across a former nature preserve that sits just outside the Myrtle Beach city limits. In 2009, the course underwent a major renovation that removed almost 4,600 trees, burying the remaining stumps underneath mounds of dirt and sand. This opened up the layout while adding an interesting up-and-down to the course that it never had before. The holes are divided into three nines that provide different 18-hole combinations. Each of the nines is named after a different animal that makes up the course's resident wildlife: Fox, Otter, and Bear. River Oaks' Otter/Bear combination is the longest course of the three available options. You'll find water coming into play on nearly every hole and there are several strategically placed bunkers to be found along the greens.

Not worth it
We played 9 holes today and on the 2nd hole there were 3 4somes waiting on the tee! The 9 holes took 2 hrs 40 minutes. When I went into the pro shop to complain I was told that they couldn't understand my issue and I need to understand that they are busy and one should expect 5 to 5.5 hour rounds. With that attitude, there is no point in discussing any further since anything beyond 4 hours 15 minutes, 4:30 at the most is inexcusable and to suggest otherwise is simply abusing golfers for the sake of increased revenue. We will not be back again.
