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.

Disappointed of UK
Whilst the course layout was interesting and the staff welcoming, the course condition wasn’t good. Cart paths particularly on the Bear course were the worse I’ve seen anywhere recently. Greens were patchy with inconsistent surfaces.
We did like the fact that hidden water edges were marked with flags but money would have been better spent on repairing cart paths rather than a fleet of new carts. (Maybe the previous carts fell to bits on the cart paths!?)
The catering is no more than snacks but maybe that’s what the customers want. The green fees were the most expensive we’d paid in the area and compared to some neighbouring courses and the conditions, this is over priced.
