Soggy Bog

The course is wet, did I mention wet? The ground was saturated from tee to green. I live in the area but we haven't had rain in a number of days so I don't know what was going on. Only six holes were "cart path only" and that was a plus. The greens were in great shape but very slow....spongy almost.

We have projects ongoing and the current condition is by no means the standard we strive to achieve. We are going to escalate your feedback to our team so we can make improvements before your next game. We will continue to work towards an excellent experience by using your comment for guidance. Thank you for playing Rivers Edge Golf Club. We hope to see you again soon.

Best layout

I’ve played here three times and the conditions have gotten better with every visit. The greens roll true but were fairly soft and slow. Fairways were wet in spots but over all in great condition. Most all tee boxes aside from one or two of them were great. The layout is the best by far and always a great time.

Great layout

Good fairways tees and greens on scale of-10 7. Layout is great can be tricky if you don’t know the course but fun to play. Highly recommend. One par 3 had artificial mat to hit from, I didn’t like that. GPS in cart a big plus.

Great layout

This is a great piece of property and layout. Very challenging even from white tees. Wet conditions limited roll and bounce around greens. Sand traps were a little thin but otherwise greens in good conditions for the season It was a challenge for a 17 handicapper and you will lose a few balls. Just carry a few mulligans with you.

Loved it

Played modified alternate shot in the fall classic. Great variety of holes made for numerous risk reward decisions. Finished with 4th best score for the day.! Very happy with par on #9 with peninsula green. Given the opportunity would play it again anytime.

Great course

It had been a while since I played Rivers Edge and I had forgotten how good this course is. Really good layout and it was in perfect condition. The greens are moderately fast, but true. My favorite hole is number 9. What a brute, but what a fun hole to play and beautiful on top of that. I will be back sooner than later.

Bring many balls

Number 9 is crazy hard in the wind. Many nice holes. Not sure why there are mats instead of tee boxes on the par 3 on the back. I like the GPS on the carts.

Better than anticipated

Mr. Palmer designed a fair challenging track. Conditions were good despite a very dry summer. Beginning at the 9th the round gets “Real” the home stretch if it’s windy just play for bogey.. fun day!

Excellent layou

Staff are very friendly. Layout make this course challenging and really test your iron game. You will get in trouble trying to over power the course strategy is the key. I was expecting a lot better condition of the course With the pricing. Greens could be rolled a lot tighter. It was very rough for this type of course

Yes, will play again!

Female friendly course and staff! Meandering through the marsh - the layout is interesting and playable. This is probably not an ideal 2-handicapper long hitter course, but a great vacation enjoyable site. And, everyone on staff is amazing! Hope to see you again soon, BTW - great shop selections!

Still a Must Play

Still a nice course. Today the greens were sandy from them aerating a few days ago. The course had some wet areas due to the last night rain but it really didn’t come into play. Layout is just fantastic and the staff is great! All the guys are so very nice and want you to enjoy your round. This is still a MUST play when in Shallotte. Thanks again! See you next year!
