River Oaks Golf Club boasts three different nine-hole courses: the Bear, Fox, and Otter. Carefully carved from a former nature preserve, the courses sprawl across a scenic stretch of the Intracoastal with a convenient location that is just minutes from downtown Myrtle Beach. The nines, which are named after the different wildlife that call the club home, each have a unique character and different set of challenges and they can be mixed and matched to create different 18-hole combinations. The Bear/Fox golf course provides a challenging test with a front nine where water comes into play on almost every hole, including an almost-island green on the par-3 fourth. The Fox nine, the shortest of the three at 3,346 yards, gives you a chance to recover your score with some risk-reward opportunities.

Pretty good experience
Cart staff is great. Super courteous.
Clubhouse guy was the same. Really helpful.
The place is BIG, and there were tons of folks around.
I only played 9 (Bear). Water everywhere. Pay attention to the hazard flags they have out there. It can get tricky.
Greens are FAST. Fairways in pretty good shape. Good mixture of narrow/ wide. If you don't land in fairway, typically not very forgiving (pine straw, water, shrubs).
All in all, $25 for 9 was an alright amount. My biggest issue was pace of play. 2:12 on a Thursday... 4 groups sitting on the par 5s.
You will wait 10 minutes for every single shot. If not more. Took me 3 hours for 9 holes.
I wouldn't come back here strictly for that reason... however, I hear a lot of places in this area can get that way. But I'd take my chances anyways bc I know here, it will be a 6+ hr round indefinitely.
