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.

Bad Year
I think the course was horribly affected by a bad winter... that being written, the greens looked bad (and to be fair, they had just been aired). Still, course was completely saturated 24 hours after good rain, and greens were dirt and sand. Will not play again. Course next door looked fabulous. Grass will be greener on the other side of the fence.
