River Hills Golf & Country Club
About
River Hills Golf and Country Club is in Little River, near North Myrtle Beach, a Tom Jackson product that shows heavily-wooded, rolling terrain with elevation changes as much as 40 feet. Golfers won't encounter parallel fairways, but they will encounter fairways that weave through a series of homes, along with dogwood, maple, live oak, pine and cypress tees. They will also see quite a bit of water, though most of it is lateral.

Slow slow play
where do i start? November 20- 3 threesome. Starting time was set for 12:32 but we were let out early at 12:05 (finished round at 4:50).. Gentleman in pro shop was very cordial. Slow play was terrible having to wait on every shot. Course challeging and well maintained. Obviously this course was overbooked and based on other reviews on here this is not an isolated event.
When I dropped off the rental cart I was asked by the young man cleaning the carts how did the day go. I responded we had to wait on every shot he asked when we started I told him and he basically told me I was wrong that we had started later. Then he said well what do you expect when there are so many golfers and well they are a business and need to make money. I walked away and told him they would not see us again. As far as the marshall well not sure why they had one he told us to slow down that there were seniors in front of us.
Never again Just an aside we played 5 other rounds that week at other an played all of them in 4 hours with no delays.
River Hills is a gem
Not your typical Myrtle course. Very pretty and creative. Bombers need not apply. This is pure strategic shot makers course. Select tees very carefully. If you are a senior or high handicapper be smart. Select shorter tee location. 5600 yards on this course is tough and I normally hit a 230 driver. I really enjoyed the layout with water and sand in play. Good luck and enjoy.
Very enjoyable with some challenging holes!
This course was in excellent shape early in the season. Girls golf trip - we enjoyed this course very much. There were a few challenging holes to keep you on your toes!!
Great course
Greens some of the best.i have played 17 courses on our time here. Lots of water shot makers gg
Great layout
Challenging it betters your game hope to play it again thank you
Pleasant Surprise!
Had a great time at River Hills over Thanksgiving weekend. Sometimes it's hard to get a good read on these courses by reviews, especially in terms of course character. The greens were in great shape, but more importantly for me, the course was very interesting and visually appealing. It was anything but ho-hum golf and it really made you work through your bag, which I love. Great track!
Love the layout
I played this course back in the 90's. It was nice then and it was still nice now.
Excellent conditions, very challenging!
Course conditions are much improved since the last time I played it about 2 years ago. Water everywhere and must be played with a strategic mindset. Whatever tees you think you should play, I recommend moving up a set.
Nice to come back
Had not played since 2017, really like that each hole is so unique and different, played as a twosome so pace was slow for us but on time for course. Greens were great. just very difficult to read and for speed. course in great shape. Marshall named Tom was so courteous and chatted much with us while we waited on some shots. Would highly recommend course.
Beautiful course!
Loved the round. The course plays out well, lots of interesting and challenging holes, undulating fairways, many lined with larger beautiful homes. An upscale golf community.
last round
